Atlanta newborn photographer; welcome, Elias!
Sweet baby Elias was a couple of weeks old for our newborn photo session in their home. His nursery is the coolest--a muppet themed nursery with lots of great pops of color. Some of the things decorating the nursery were actually Mama's when she was a kid. So fun! The light was also great in his nursery, so we spent most of our session in there.
I like newborn photography that is authentic, and includes the whole family. We are celebrating the new baby as the newest member of the family, and I like capturing the connections that are being made. It does not include weird fake poses.
When I started doing newborn photography, I thought I had to do what is so common these days--babies in baskets and propped on their hands. I've realized that those pictures all look the same, they don't show anything about a family, and they are just plain cheesy. I like pictures that peek into a family's everyday life, and show some personality. I think of that baby looking at these photos as an adult, and I'm pretty sure that a picture that includes the family and house will feel more special. That's how I have ended up at documentary newborn photography.
To schedule a newborn session, it's best to contact me during your pregnancy. That way I can guarantee a spot on my calendar, and we can plan for our session before you have a new baby at home, and much more important things keeping you busy.
Newborn sessions usually last 2-3 hours and take place in your home.
