Best Newborn Photographer in Midlothian VA | Richmond VA Newborn Portraits
I say this all the time, but it’s so very true! I have the best job ever. Four years ago I photographed this couple’s engagement session and wedding. When they asked me to also photograph their sweet baby girl, needless to say, I was elated! This little lady slept through her entire newborn portrait session. She was such a sweet heart and made my job easy! Although I send parents a complete preparation guide before their newborn session to help keep baby asleep and happy there are never any guarantees. We are all at the mercy of the little ones! One tip for keeping a newborn asleep is to keep the baby awake for 2 hours before your scheduled session, but NOT longer. If a newborn becomes overtired they may have a really hard time settling down and become quite frustrated during their session which is the exact opposite of what we want! A happy baby makes for a great session!
Some sessions hold a very special place in my heart, and this one is absolutely one of them.
I first met this sweet family during their maternity session before their first daughter arrived. I had the joy of photographing that little girl’s newborn portraits too, watching this family bloom from two to three. So when mama reached out to tell me they were expecting again, I was beyond thrilled.
