Three reasons why I love newborn photography | Round Rock and Austin Newborn Photographer

Recently, someone asked me what my favorite type session to photograph was. That’s easy!

Newborns!

I love photographing newborns! They’re so small and adorable. Today I’m going to share with you three reasons why I love newborn photography.

  1. Newborns are a joy to work with! Seriously, they are. Most of them are sleeping the entire time I’m photographing them. And if they’re not sleeping, they are looking out and around at the world to figure out what is going on. None of them seem to mind having their picture taken either! Of course, some newborns have their own ideas which include being fussy or crying. That’s when I get to put my mom skills to the test! After having 4 kids of my own, I’ve learned a trick or two! Recently, I had my camera in one hand and a pacifier/bottle in the other. My finger was on the shutter button of my camera while my other hand was holding the pacifier. As soon as I felt comfortable, I would gently pull out the pacifier and snap a photo. Worked like a charm!

  2. I love photographing newborns in my client’s home! Your house is the place where your children are going to grow up and make memories. Why not have their first moments captured in the same place?! Whether it’s in the nursery, in the crib, on the changing table or in the master bedroom, memories will be made. Start your memories in the one place where more will be built!

  3. I love capturing the endless love a parent has for their child. There’s nothing in the world quite like becoming a new parent. Everyone tells you it will change your life, and you’ll never understand the love a parent has for their child until you become a parent. And it’s true! When I photograph a parent looking at their tiny newborn, you can see the love and joy in their eyes. There’s nothing in the world quite like it, and I have the wonderful job of capturing this moment for them. It’s beautiful!

Parents, don’t miss out on this special event in your life. As a mom, I have experienced how fleeting it is. Capture the memories of your newborn. It’s one thing you won’t ever regret.
