Let’s talk newborn sessions…
A lovely friend of mine surprised me by buying me a newborn photography sessions when I had my first son.
I remember feeling so overwhelmed I cried. On one side of things - it was the sweetest, most thoughtful gift (10/10 recommend doing this for your family and friends). On the other hand, I wasn’t ready - I was still in a diaper, so tired, my house was a mess. My girlfriend reassured me it would be fine and here’s what happened :
The sweetest human came to my house to take photos and made us feel so comfortable. She was a photographer and a NICU nurse. She helped herself to everything she needed, she changed our babies diaper and rocked him to sleep AND took stunning photos. She just felt like family coming into our home and I will never ever forget her or that day.
This is exactly what I strive for when coming into your home for your newborn session. Sessions are slow, calm and so laid back. I’ve helped clients clean, help put baby to sleep, played with their toddlers while they got things done. Dates and times are flexible and can change right up to the night before your booking. It’s not lost on me how vulnerable this time is - have no idea how you’re going to feel, how baby is going to sleep, how your toddler is going to adjust.
I can promise you I lean into these sessions with my whole heart, that everything is slow and on babies time and that overwhelmed is the last thing you will feel 💕✨
