Welcome! I am excited for the opportunity to photograph your family. If you are looking at booking either a Full or Gallery session with me, you have the option of choosing either Lifestyle or Posed images for your parent/baby and family images. Lifestyle images are used for the Mini Plus session.
The lifestyle images are taken on the bed either sitting, laying or standing in front of it.
The posed images are typically taken on my dark wood backdrop. However, it can be done on a greyish white wall instead if that is your preference.
You will see the some of the different poses I do with moms, dads and family for each option.
Mom's dress is the same in both sessions. It is a dress I offer in my client closet.
For younger siblings, lifestyle images tend to be easier. It is usually less intimidating laying on a bed vs. the wood floor. They enjoy climbing up on the bed to see their sibling. Sometimes if they won't get on the bed, they may sneak over and kiss or look at baby laying on the bed. Older sibling are usually comfortable with either one. I only did the wood backdrop for many years, so if you have a younger sibling and prefer those images don't worry! We will get a great sibling shot!
Here is an example of a family with siblings on the wood (posed) and on the bed (lifestyle).
All sessions will take place at my studio in Georgetown, KY. I provide all the headbands, bonnets, wraps, props, clothing for baby and mom. My goal is for your newborn session to be as stress free as possible.
I am so happy you are considering me to be a part of this special time in your life! I know how overwhelming it can be to find a photographer you trust to photograph the most valuable little human in your life! I realize I am often one of the first "non-family members" (outside of hospital staff) to hold your new baby and I consider that a huge honor and responsibility.
I offer new parents a comfortable, relaxing atmosphere where they can watch their newborn be photographed. I remove the stress that portraits typically cause by providing everything you need including clothing, props and accessories. I will create timeless images of your new family and your baby that you will cherish deeply...even more than you realize now. As a mother of 3, my oldest now 11, I know I would give anything to slow down time. While I can't slow it down, I can freeze it by capturing your moments that create beautiful memories.
My studio is located in Georgetown, KY just 30 minutes from Lexington, KY. I hope to meet you soon!
