If you were to ask me, as a professional, what are the most overlooked photos taken during a newborn photo shoot... I would tell you it is the Lifestyle photos, especially the Mommy & Me photos. Most women are genuinely concerned about their post-partum body image, self-conscious, & not wanting to be photographed. They often request to be excluded from the photos & ask me to just focus on the baby. To all my clients & everyone, I assure all that these concerns are 1st normal, but more importantly I want to remind all how much they will want to have captured the real and most treasured moments of what it feels like holding your newborn, looking into their face, their face looking back at you, how they fit in your hands for that brief time in life, how you cradle them in your arms, and just how in awe you feel holding this precious life you created, how perfect this moment in life is. You are most beautiful when you are overflowing with love and it shows profoundly in these images. I love how these types of images always find their way into the favorites of my clients. People say a picture is worth a 1,000 words... but I think a picture is worth a 1,000 feels of what that moment in time actually felt like. An amazing photo will help you not only remember what something looked like but also it will remind you of what it FELT like! Capture these precious fleeting moments that are so important to remember how they feel that you will treasure always! As a parent myself I understand that the days go by slow and the years go by fast!
