10 Reasons to Use a Custom Portrait Photographer For Your Newborn Session ~ {Orange County Newborn Photographer}

July 27, 2010

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!

Reflecting on 2009…{Orange County Child Photographer}

December 31, 2009

This year flew by so quickly. One minute I was celebrating my daughter Reede’s 3rd birthday, then my son’s Kai in June.  All of a sudden I was busy shooting holiday photos and there went Christmas.  Is it really New Year’s Eve?  Is my daughter really going to be 4 years old in a few weeks?  Am I turning 30 again? Ok, I can dream about turning 30 again right?

Life is so good though I have no complaints.  A wonderful family, a new found passion (photography), an amazing talented mentor named Wende who entered my life to help me grow, new found photography friends and all my old friends that I adore so much.  I could not get any luckier! Someone is shining some major rays of light on me.  Thank you!!!  And thanks to everyone who has touched my life. Even those of you that I have only met for a few minutes…you may have changed the path of my life by what you did, said or thought.

Here’s to all of you….Happy New Years!!!
