All About Me and Photography: Babies!

It is an honor and a privelege to be able to capture newborn babies! Every time I get a call for a newborn session, I am filled with excitement and nerves! The best time to do a newborn photo shoot is right after they are born. Literally, within the first week. Why? Because they sleep sooooo much and can be "bothered" enough to (usually) sleep through the whole thing. However, I rarely get babies that want to sleep. Isn't that funny? I'm still learning all about newborn photo shoots through the actual shoots. I don't think I've mastered it, but I do think I capture enough of the newborn-ness that makes a parent happy.
