Value of newborn photography

Pregnancy is just the beginning of a new life. There are so many ways to even get to a pregnancy. For some, it is simple and easy; others have a very long journey to even get a positive. Some have longer stories than others. Something we can all agree on is, no matter the journey, this new life is special. This time can be exhausting, exciting, sad, happy, and everything in-between. Sometimes we have difficult births or NICU stays. But one thing we can all agree on is newborn life is an adjustment. No matter how happy or excited you are to have your baby, it is hard. Passing up on newborn photos is so easy to do, maybe due to money, stress, or exhaustion. But one thing we can never do is go back. Back to a time when our babies fit so comfortably in our arms; a time when our baby's feet were so small no sock would stay on; back to a time when they had peeling skin and little peeling lips. We are so caught up in caring for this new little life, it is hard to remember every detail. This is why newborn photos are so important. This is an opportunity to capture these little things that we may forget in the future. Investing in these photos gives you something to look back on, a moment of snuggles, or the way your spouse looks at you with such admiration; a time when our babies are just so tiny. I can tell you, being a mom of three myself, there are so many things I honestly just don't remember. This is the opportunity to stop time just for a second. At my studio, I strive to help make this process that much easier. Let's work together to choose colors and styles for your baby. During our session, sit back and relax while I work with baby to capture beautiful moments. Then let me customize artwork and do all the back end ordering, design, and delivery. Parents can sit back and enjoy this time with beautiful keepsakes for your home.
