Why Newborn Photography?

Newborn portraiture is a relatively new concept that is becoming more and more popular with every year that passes.

From the first moment you see and hold your little one in your hands, your world will change.  Love will become something bigger than you ever knew was possible.  As you see your newborn child, you’ll experience what it is like to literally have your heart beating outside of your body.  All instincts will take over, and you will feel love like you never knew possible.  

But the fact is, our children grow up so fast right before our eyes. After one week, after three weeks, after six months – they grow, change and develop and nothing that we can do will stop them.

Capturing your newborn baby with a professionally trained newborn photographer will be the first ‘gift’ that you give to them (and yourself!).  A newborn session can not be re-done.  It is literally a once-in-a-lifetime event.

You may think that you can wait till they turn six month or one year to do a professional session for them, or perhaps family pictures when they are older. However, newborn babies change every second.  Having their portraits captured when they are little (7-21 days) is just so priceless. So many times I hear my clients say (2 weeks after their newborn session when they are viewing their images of their 7 day old baby) “I can’t believe how much he/she has changed already, I’m so glad we got this done!”.

A newborn photographer is more than just a photographer. She is a caregiver for your little one during the 2-3 hour session.  Don’t settle for the first photographer you find, or the cheapest one around. Your newborn photographer will be handling your little one for 2-3 hours, posing, positioning and soothing. Find a photographer that you LOVE, that speaks to you, and whose work you can’t live without. Its an investment that is worth every cent, as she will provide you with stunning images you and your baby will have for generations.

Take your time. Look around, and hire a professional that is right for you. :)
