Welcoming a new baby into the family is a time of immense joy and love. It is also a period filled with sleepless nights, frustration and exhaustion. I know that when families come to see me for their newborn session, it’s often their first outing since the hospital or first doctor’s appointment which is why I aim to make the experience as comfortable and relaxed as possible.
By allowing baby to lead the way and focusing on natural posing, sessions go by quickly and seamlessly (aside from the occasional peeing on blankets/me/the couch/the floor!) Asleep or awake, the aim is to capture baby as he is at this moment in time – his hair, his little feet, his expressions, the way he fits into mama’s arms and dad’s hands…there is no stressing about posing or clothing changes because everything is kept simple, natural, and pure. A simple wrap is all baby needs and I’ll take care of the rest.
Here is a peek into baby Oliver’s newborn session. He and his family are absolutely perfect and I’m so glad I got the chance to capture these first few moments for them.
