I first worked with Mia for her maternity session in the studio, which can be viewed by clicking here. After that, I attended her amazing birth at the Atlanta Birth Center and documented the day she welcomed her daughter into the world. Those images will not be shared on the blog as the privacy of my clients is my first priority. Before I left the birth center, we scheduled her daughter's newborn session date.
Baby Aria gave me a run for my money during my time with her! She was a very calm and serious baby who was dead set on not sleeping. I tried many of my tricks, and she would close her eyes, only to open them right back up. I finally tried a trick that worked (that's for me to know, and you to find out) and she settled into a nice deep sleep for the remainder of her session. I love wide awake babies, but there are certain positions that you just can't place a wide awake baby into since they won't curl up or be snuggly when awake. Big brother did such a wonderful job during their session, and Grandma whisked him away for a trip to the Zoo after his part was finished. We will discuss your toddler's schedule and we'll work it out so that they don't need to be in the studio once they are finished. Toddlers like to run and have fun, and there's no need to keep them sitting somewhere for two hours. We want this to be a fun and relaxing experience for all involved.
Here are a few of my favorite images from Aria's newborn session. Doesn't she have the cutest serious gaze? I love her pouty little lips and that "So, you want me to go to sleep, huh?" face.
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!
