The last time I had seen Jessica & Taylor was for their maternity session in the park location, which can be viewed by clicking here. I was so excited to meet their sweet baby girl and hear all about how everything went for them during labor & delivery. Jessica opted to add on hair and makeup services with Margaret since she knew she wouldn't have the time or the energy to do so before coming to the studio for their session. The vast majority of our newborn moms choose to pamper themselves by adding this service to their session, and all of them are so glad that they did!
When the new little family of three arrived at my studio with Jessica's mom in tow I was amazed at how much Audrey looked like her daddy! It's always so neat to see who babies tend to favor in the very beginning. There are so many that favor either parent in the first months of life and then a 180 happens and they look like the other parent. I find genetics so fascinating!
I started the session photographing just Audrey while Jessica was in the hair and makeup chair. After I finished up with that, we moved to some daddy and daughter images. Jessica then finished with hair and makeup and she and her mother changed into some pieces from the studio wardrobe. Lots of grandmas attend (and are more than welcome to!) and many end up borrowing from the studio wardrobe if they didn't have anything with them. My own grandmother is 82 years old and is the sweetest soul alive. I love her so very much, so being able to photograph newborn babies with their grandmothers is something very special to me.
We finished the session with parent/family/grandma images and had such a great time chatting and talking. I want everyone to feel relaxed and comfortable and enjoy their experience. Newborn sessions are laid back and relaxed, and led by your baby. If your baby needs a break to be snuggled or to eat, we take one! If you need a break to use the restroom or sit down and eat a snack, we take one. It really is just as simple as that!
If you're expecting a baby or already a parent and looking for a newborn, maternity, or family photographer, I would love to work with you to create images that you will love for a lifetime. Watch this video to hear about my philosophy and see how I work in the studio so you can determine if I'm the right fit for you. I can't wait to meet you!
