I first worked with Jess for her maternity session in the field, which can be viewed by clicking here. She had tried on a dress in our wardrobe while in for her maternity fitting that she loved, so she knew she wanted to wear it for her newborn session. Jess had also worked with Margaret for hair and makeup add on services for her maternity session, and enthusiastically requested to work with her again for newborn. Once you've worked with one of our HMUA team members for your session, you won't want to do it on your own for future ones! Not only are they lots of fun to hang out with, but the experience is also wonderful, and they are experts at applying camera ready makeup. All of them welcome your ideas and inspiration and will work closely with you to create the best look for your features and your comfort level. They can and have done it all: a wide range of skin tones on women of every ethnicity, women with vitiligo, glamorous looks, "no makeup" makeup, and the list goes on and on.
When Jessica arrived at the studio with sweet baby Griffin and her husband, we couldn't get over how roly poly and plump he was! Rolls on rolls, and over 9 pounds with the cutest little nose and head of hair. Despite his chunkiness, he was a deep sleeper so curled right up when I worked with him during his solo newborn portion of the session. As I was finishing up with Griffin, Margaret was putting the finishing touches on Jessica's makeup. We moved right into the parent and family portion, which is so easy! All you have to do is worry about holding and loving your baby. I'll take care of the rest and gently guide you through the entire thing. The family portion usually takes about 30 minutes to an hour depending on your baby. Some babies decide partway through that it's time for a snack break. This is never an issue, as your baby's comfort is our top priority. If they need to eat or be snuggled, that's exactly what will happen!
Here are a few of my favorites from Griffin's session!
