Hey all,
I’ve heard it so many times from fellow photographers, “It’s so hard to shoot your own newborn’s session”. Why didn’t I listen!? I thought I would have this perfect little baby model at home that I could practice on anytime. Also that he’d be so good for me because I knew exactly how to make babies sleepy and when to photograph them. That didn’t quite go as planned… When your a new mom your SUPER tired so the last thing you want to do is any extra work. It would have been a lot easier to hand them off to another more well rested photographer. Another thing I found difficult was trying to pose baby while still feeling uncomfortable from giving birth!! Regardless, I am stubborn and I did end up with some photos I do love. There are some poses I just didn’t have the time to get to and not as many family images as I would have liked (especially ones with me in them) but all in all I am happy with them.
Here are some of the images from my handsome son’s session:
I’ve been at home with my kiddos for the past two months and loving all the time I get to spend with them. I’m also looking forward to coming back to work May 1st and already have some sessions scheduled into the fall. I definitely have been missing photography during my time off and all the sweet littles I have the pleasure to work with!
Special thanks to Jill at Delicate Debuts Newborn Photography Props for making all the goodies I used in Gavin’s session <3
Well that’s all from me for now, thanks for taking the time to visit my blog & keep in touch 🙂
