Before I had my own children I didn’t realize how quickly time passes and how fleeting the newborn stage really was. Preserving those memories of their little tiny toes and fingers are so important. They don’t stay that tiny for long and it’s such a miraculous time. I unfortunately, didn’t even realize photographers that specialized in newborns existed when my oldest child was born. Huh? I was giddy and astounded when I was introduced to a local talented newborn photographer’s work while pregnant with my son. I immediately booked a session even though he was not due for another 6 months! So, I have beautiful images of him while he was only 8 days old! I think I look at those photos almost everyday! I will treasure these images forever and feel very thankful that I invested into a session!
Some people ask me why should I pay the prices of a custom newborn photographer when I can go to Sears and get my newborn photographs done for a lot less? Well, yes you could very well go to Sears and UM…you will get a lot less. You may pay less but your experience and images will be lacking in so many areas. Let me help you see what I am talking about.
10 Reasons to Use a Custom Portrait Photographer For Your Newborn Session
1 ) With an experienced newborn photographer you will receive very unique, artful images that will bring you a lifetime of wonderful memories.
2 ) Your photographer goes at your babies pace anticipating break times for feeding and your session is completely devoted to you and your little one.
3 ) Beautiful heirloom albums, custom brag books, canvases and storyboards can be created with your images.
4 ) There is no exposing your newborn to germs from a public place.
5 ) Each image will be individually processed to perfection.
6 ) Each image will be a piece of art and your babies unique self will show through. You won’t be given cookie cutter images to select from.
7 ) Props such as blankets and hats have all been washed and cleaned after every session.
8 ) There is not a number of noisy children waiting impatiently in line causing distraction.
9 ) Your session can be done in the comfort of your own home.
10 ) You will receive individual attention throughout your entire experience.
There really is a difference in your experience and your final outcome. Think of your session as an investment because it is something that will last you a lifetime and be treasured by future generations.
And because I wouldn’t be a photographer if I didn’t share some images that I have captured….here are a few!
Thanks for reading my post!

WELCOME BABY “M”!
I am so excited to share my latest newborn session. Baby “M’s” mom responded to my casting call as she had just had her baby. So we quickly scheduled a session and we were able to set up the shoot in the same week. I love when things work out so wonderfully!
Baby “M” is only 9 days old here and what a perfect little model she was for me. Her mommy told me on the phone she was a sleepy baby and boy she wasn’t kidding me at all! Awe…if all babies were like this I’d want another one soon!
If this post receives 30 comments or more Baby “M’s” parents will receive an additional 5×7 print of their choice..on the house! So come on and help them out! Give me some blove!
CONGRATULATIONS proud parents of Baby “M”!! You just received a free 5×7 for reaching a 30 comment count!!! WOOHOOO!!! Thanks everyone for the BLOVE!!!
