In the middle of this past fall’s bazillion sunset shoots I got to sneak in a morning with this newest guy. And my goodness I loved every minute of him. His was the first newborn session I have done since finding out I was pregnant with my baby girl and believe me those hormones were all over the place. Like I just wanted to cry right then and there for his mom and dad in happiness, but that would have been a little strange, right? So I held it together for the most part, minus the squeals.
Lifestyle newborn photography is something so very special to me. Yes, I love those cute little squishy poses on the blankets as much as the next person. However, I truly believe there is something just so raw and intimate about those real life moments you experience as a brand new family. Moments that, as much as you may not believe, will turn into a hazy blur of bits and pieces. Having photos and videos to look back on is one of the main things that triggers those day to day sleepy memories back to life. Iphones are God’s gift to new parents! But there is also something extra special when you yourself get to be present in the moments, not always the one behind the camera. To remember what it looked like with him cuddled against your chest, the way his head fit so perfectly inside your hands. The love and joy that filled every last room together…
