One of my most favorite newborn session ever… And I’ve loved a lot of newborn sessions. The fact that parents allow me into their home during the first weeks of their baby’s life, when they are all just figuring it out, simply amazes me and leaves me feeling overwhelming honor and gratitude. I didn’t realize just how unique and precious it was until I became a mother myself. I recall what a wonderfully, beautifully, exhausting time it was with my kiddos.
This family though… Despite the fact I haven’t seeing them for over a year I felt at ease as soon as I walked in. I could feel the calm and loving environment in the air and instantly felt so comfortable with them… It was also really cool to see my work displayed in their walls as a beautiful canvas :) Her first born is much taller now and he talks more, which made me laugh from the start.
Making life long friends that I truly connect with on a heart level, is one of the best parts of being a photographer. It’s why I know I am where I’m suppose to be. Newborn sessions are always longer and always wear me out but this one was different because it was a lifestyle session, so I could concentrate in the moment, capturing their lives just as they were in that instant.
My most favorite part of the session was towards the end, when everyone hopped into bed, including the dog, and we just hanged out :) I was clicking away while they were talking and having fun in the bed. That’s what I want for each and every person in front of my camera. I want every session to be very relaxed and also a time for gratitude, love and LOTS OF FUN.
