I offer two different kinds of newborn sessions.
One is in the first hours after birth, in your hospital room, birthing center, or in your home with your new babe. These sessions, often called "Fresh 48", are raw and emotional, documentary style, and can include your older babies meeting your newborn, your parents seeing their grandchild for the first time. You and your partner and your baby settling in for the beginning of a long series of deep snuggles. These images will be rich and meaningful, a portrait of your brand new love, and an honest reflection of those first few hours.
The other type of newborn session I offer is in my home studio: a bonding session with mama and babe. The studio sessions can be at any time after the baby's birth. Want to come in right away? No problem. Want to wait a few months to feel more like yourself? Absolutely wonderful. These sessions are more like a fourth trimester session than a newborn session. And the photographs are different from typical newborn photographs in a studio. There's no posing, no wrapping the child, no props. It's just the mother and babe, skin to skin, bonding, spending quiet time together.
Photographing you with your newborn is a way to help you remember not only what this time in your life looks like, but what it feels like in the moment. An authentic photograph can transport you to another time. It can bring back the smell of your baby's head, the touch of her feet. It can bring back the joy, the complex connection and the richness of your feelings.
