There is a different kind of baby photography.
Photographs that are both beautiful and real.
Forget basket.
Forget bonnets.
Forget flawless.
The messy, imperfect, overflowing-with-love craziness of life with a new baby is absolutely worth remembering.
These will be the stories you will come back to again and again. These will be the images that matter.
Someday, when your child is old enough to be curious about such things, you will point to these photographs and say,
"Here is the beginning of you."
And in those moments, honesty will win out over perfection. Because it will be in these authentic details that you will find
the real memories, the real emotions.
It will be here that you show your child, from the start, he was loved wholly and completely.
Newborn photography means so much more
than just capturing something pretty for you to hang on your wall. This new baby will alter and change your life in ways you can't imagine.
From one mother to another: the more time that passes, the more precious these baby photographs will become.
I want these images to be your touchstone, what you can come back to as your baby grows and changes and matures.
At his core, your child will always be this adorable, cherished beautiful baby.
And that, most definitely, is
worth remembering.
