I was so excited to welcome this family back for their Family Focused Natural Newborn Photography Five Forks SC.  You can see their newborn session here and really get to know their sweet kids Emily and John a bit more.

I love how you can see everyone’s personality in this photo.  Emily is so smart and has just a little bit of sass (that hand!).  Dad Jacob just smiles through it all, laid back and enjoying the ride. John, who isn’t yet two, is calm and focused on whatever thing was riding on my head during this image. Mama Beth just radiated and content and devoted joy. I cannot wait to see what sweet baby Julie contributes to this family

In the middle of the session, I told Beth what a well behaved two year old John was.  He’d had his fair share of “no”s and avoiding doing what asked, but he never once pitched a fit or completely refused to try something. Beth told me that John wasn’t yet two and my jaw dropped.  Jacob and Beth are raising amazing children.

Emily is also a joy.  I loved talking with her and hearing her perspective on the world. She’s incredibly smart and perceptive. Adding a baby has been hard on her, but I am so glad Emily has Julie.  These two will surely be the best of friends.

And Julie is just the sweetest baby.  Check out her precious smile below!

There’s something about this photo below that makes it my personal favorite.  Maybe it’s the diagonal lines or the sweet light flitting across her face, but I’m pretty sure it’s just the way she curled and relaxed her body in this bowl.

Are you looking to book a newborn session that celebrates both baby and big siblings? I’d be honored to get to know your family.  My goal is to see even the tiniest in your family as a person worthy of being known. It’s this getting to know you and your children that helps me record your story.  Contact me today and tell me a little about your family and your desired newborn family experience.

I loved being baby Victoria’s Simple Natural Emotive Simpsonville SC Newborn Photographer. My favorite image from her session is this simple floral bowl image.  It’s displayed on my wood print in a circle shape which is my absolute favorite product. It has the visual weight of a canvas as your image is affixed to a block of wood, but none of the drawbacks of falling apart over time or the rough canvas texture.  It comes in a circle, oval, square, or traditional rectangle which is perfect for filling in gaps in your gallery wall.

Victoria was a sweet and sleepy baby for her session.  We were able to do so many of her mother Jenna’s requested poses.

Yet, my favorite poses are always these simple ones that showcase Victoria’s delicate features and hands.And Victoria’s tiny profile is just the sweetest.

However, these smiles just take the cake!  Aren’t they the cutest?Victoria’s big brother John wasn’t quite sure about her yet. But with some clever pre-session prep and a bit of work,we were able to capture this sweet sibling image.

And this family image is one of my favorites this year.  Can you believe this is all in one frame?  I think I had the tiger featured in the images below on my head 🙂

Are you looking to book a newborn session with your growing family?  I’d love to be considered.  For the best results with big siblings, I highly recommend taking advantage of a maternity session. Big siblings get comfortable with the studio and me before your newborn session, and I’m able to get some great solo images. The best part is that maternity session fees are waived if you book your newborn session at the same time!Click here to inquire about working with me as your Natural Emotive Simpsonville SC Newborn Photographer.

Have you ever wondered if newborn photos contain Wide Awake Timeless Newborn Photos Greer SC?  What if my baby doesn’t sleep?  The truth is: not all babies sleep, but we can always create beautiful portraits of your baby just as they are.

Carlos was not a sleeper.  I’m not sure if our session occurred on a growth spurt day or if Carlos is just a curious baby who wanted to see what was going on.  He wanted to be awake.  And so we let him be awake.

The challenge with awake babies isn’t that I can’t pose them as much, although that true.  The main challenge is that babies aren’t yet able to focus their eyes.  This means that focusing on the camera is hard for them.  I have to be in the right place at the right time to have baby appear to be looking at me.  But even without eye contact.  The series of faces above are so adorable!

And while Carlos was kicking and playing I was able to take some images of his sweet feet and hands.  Macro close up images evoke so much emotion.  They help us remember just how small our babies were.

Yet, eventually Carlos did sleep.  He wasn’t a deep sleeper so we first tackled mama’s special request:  A Harry Potter set up.  Isn’t this so fun?!

And then while he was still sleeping we photographed a sweet series of poses during his light sleep.

We still got all these fun sleepy faces even with such a light sleeper. So if you are worried about your baby not sleeping, don’t be!  Babies each have their own unique personalities and sleep needs.  Creating beautiful photos of your baby is mostly capturing their beauty just as they are.

Looking to book your own newborn session?  I’d love to be considered to record your baby’s unique personality and features.  They grow so fast.  Contact me today to find out more.
