Life has a way of being funny and unpredictable. This session is the intimate newborn session is the most accurate example of this I can think of! This new momma and I originally had plans to document her pregnancy with beautiful maternity photos. It would be a way to remember the calm before the storm that is a home with a newborn. However, plans went awry, but in the best way. Her little one was born before we got the chance.
The best way to celebrate a new baby is with professional photos, so we decided to do that instead! The pair came into my studio when we had a beautiful moment of soft light coming through the windows. We decided for wardrobe, we’d do a couple of floor length gowns against the window for the most gorgeous portraits. Once everyone was warmed up, we switched to a partially nude session for breastfeeding photos. These photos as a new mom are so beautiful and worth captioning, especially if this is your first little one. These intimate moments also deserve to be captured.
Besides, who doesn’t want to be pampered and glammed up after labor? We all know how special and wonderful this time can be, but it can also be tiring and hard to want to do something just for you. So, take the next step! Book the portrait session, because there’s no way you’ll regret it.
