This wonderful family blew me away during our photoshoot at their home. The raw emotions of love, excitement for their new baby, and the joy of being together created moments of true beauty that I felt lucky to be able to capture for them.
You know what makes a good photograph? Light, yes. Composition, yes. Focus and clarity, yes. But you know what makes it great? Emotion.
I want to help capture the emotion of your family during our photo session together.
There are a few things that are my job as the photographer to help facilitate this:
Talk with you beforehand and during the session about your family, what you enjoy, what you want from the photos, and what you are nervous about
Prepare you about what to expect so you can come in with the best mindset for the session
Create an environment that feels calm and comfortable for you to be able to relax
I will let you in on a secret…I don’t feel natural in front of a camera. And most people don’t. I find it takes a little time before anyone can truly relax with a camera in their face. So that is one of the things I emphasize during a newborn session, we have time. It is not rushed, it is supposed to be calm, low-key and go at the pace the baby sets.
Let me photograph your newest little family member and the joy of their arrival too!
