I worked with Megan & Steve for their field maternity session, which can be viewed by clicking here. Megan had a little bit of a rough recovery, so we delayed their newborn session until Bennett was three weeks old. She was a little bit nervous that it would be too long to wait, but I reassured her that we have LOTS of older babies in the studio. Many of our clients didn't think they wanted newborn photos, but then realized that they did when their babies were already two or three weeks old. We try to fit in last minute requests, but it's schedule dependent. If you're one of those mamas who didn't make newborn portrait arrangements and are looking at your sweet little baby right now and regretting it - pick up the phone and call us to see if we can fit you in! Sometimes we have availability the very next day. If your husband is already back to work, we can schedule it so he can pop it over his lunch break to participate! We have a lot of dads who don't have any paternity leave at all, so we make it work for those families by having dad there for 30 minutes or less.
Bennet was absolutely adorable with little kissable puckered lips. He slept like a champ and mom and dad were just absolutely smitten by him. I love seeing the joy on the faces of my clients as they look at their little one and then at each other. The realization of "We made this little tiny human being!" makes for the perfect expression of joy/disbelief/amazement/awe/insert your adjective here. I truly do feel like I have the best job in the world to be able to witness brand new families in their first days and weeks. There is nothing else like it, and I'm honored to be chosen to share in that with my clients.
If you're pregnant and looking for a newborn or maternity photographer, I would love to work with you to create images that you will love for a lifetime. Be sure to view this short 1.5 minute film to hear about my philosophy and see how I work in the studio so you can determine if I'm the right fit for you. I can't wait to meet you!
