Durham newborn photographer
What a dream session this was, especially since I was a little nervous about it. Mom called me early this week asking if I had time for a last minute session. She had a 2 week old boy already who was “very alert” she told me. She said she’d be happy to just get a few cute shots, even if his eyes were open. I kept my planning for the session simple and figured we’d just hope for the best. Well what a pleasant surprise this sweet boy was. He slept his whole session and only woke once for a quick feed and then right back to sleep. In fact, I didn’t even get a shot with his beautiful big eyes open!
Meet baby “G”. I got to spend about 5 hours with her in a marathon newborn session. She had very little interest in sleeping, and lots of interest in eating and pooping =) It’s hard work being as adorable as she is, so she has to keep that little belly filled and happy. Luckily between all her feedings she would at least fall into sleep just long enough for me to grab a few shots. Then every time I went to move her for a new pose, she would wake. Sleep, eat, poop, repeat. Thanks to mom who worked just as hard as me. I know we didn’t get quite as many set ups as we had wanted but we still got some great shots, and she even rewarded us with a few smiles.
This new family of three contacted me about a last minute newborn session. Normally my schedule doesn’t have a lot of wiggle room for last minute sessions as I can only accommodate so many newborn per month, but luckily for them most of my June babies are waiting until their due date or later to make their arrival. This allowed me to squeeze in a session for this super sweet family and their new beautiful baby girl. Maybe baby “M” was trying to make it easy for me to add another session because she slept the entire time she was here, so much so that I was able to do all her photos and some family shots in about 2 hours. Of course I would have loved to have kept her all day to keep playing =) Mom brought along a few items from the nursery so we made sure to incorporate those in her session. I love it when we can personalize a session. It also helps to visualize these photos being hung up and part of the home. Thank you for making the drive to see me, and trusting me with your little one’s newborn photos. She was an absolute dream to work with.
Beautiful baby “M” came to see me and she was just a little angel. She comes from a pretty special family and I’m honored that they asked me to take their sweet baby girls photos. You’ve seen her beautiful older sister and mom already on my blog but now it’s little sister’s turn. Mom brought along the family bible for one shot, and I love how it turned out. Here’s a small sneak peek of your precious little one. Thank you so much for trusting me with your girls!
Meet baby “T”. I never even got to see her open her eyes today. She arrived sleeping, and that’s how she left. She didn’t even wake to eat. When mom and dad arrived they let me know she had a broken clavicle. I was a bit nervous I wouldn’t be able to get some poses with her, but she proved me wrong! She was a champ and didn’t even make a peep during her whole session. Such a precious little girl. Mom and Dad had me laughing during the session and were great to work with. Thank you so much for trusting me with your sweet baby girl, and congratulations on your new family of 3 =)
