CAN you do newborn photos including your toddler too? This is kind of a dumb question right? Because the answer is YES!!! You love all of your children and even if the newborn photography session is more about welcoming your newest little love, it's also about all the love that surrounds your newborn. Which includes their siblings. So, the real question is how do you get good newborn photos with a toddler? I have done MANY sessions over the years with toddler siblings around

Yesterday, I shared a few favorite Maternity Photos from this past year, and so today are my favorites. Newborn Photos. I LOVE being a Newborn Photographer in Jacksonville and St Augustine, Florida. Whether I was welcomed into a client's home to capture all the love, or met them at sunrise on the beach I loved each and every newborn photoshoot this year. In fact, I was able to do 33 Newborn photography sessions this year so it was hard to pick my top newborn photos of 2022. M

Years ago, when I first started doing photography, I thought I had to only do posed newborn sessions. Studio like setting, plain backdrop, as many poses of the baby as possible (even if I couldn't do them well). All the things. Then, one day I had a newborn session an hour away. I couldn't bring the studio, so I had them use the master bedroom bed. And, that's when I realized, I preferred that kind of newborn photos. So, "Can you do newborn photos at home?" Absolutely. The ki

"When should I book newborn photos?" This is a common question I am asked as a newborn photographer. I absolutely LOVE newborn sessions, whether Fresh 48 session in the hospital, outdoor newborn session or the classic lifestyle newborn session I do most often, I love them all. So, what's the answer? Well, sometime in your second trimester. That way you don't forget, but also have a little better idea of your due date. Plus, it helps ensure your chosen newborn photographer is

Doing you newborn photos at home has become a new trend for newborn photography and I am definitely HERE FOR IT. Just a few years ago, all newborn portraits were done in studio and perfectly posed. Now, families can relax at home and be surrounded by all the snacks, toys, breaks, furry siblings they want. Being able to include the fur babies in a newborn photoshoot is definitely one of the perks of lifestyle newborn photography, and especially for this couple as they had phot

It's no secret as a newborn photographer my heart belongs to when I do newborn photos at home for my clients. The super posed, studio setting newborn sessions are beautiful, but they are not my jam. I learned years ago what I loved and I worked to grow in that area. Why do I love Lifestyle Newborn Photography in St Johns Florida? 1) You get to stay at home. That's right.

Newborn photography has had my heart for many years. I've been blessed to capture so many new little lives and all the love that surrounds them. Whether using multiple rooms in a home or just one spectacular nursery, you don't have to have a lot of space to have a gallery of beautiful newborn photos. This special family was referred to me by dad's sister and I can't deny as a photographer who prefers natural light, as soon as I saw the nursery I was in LOVE. We were able to d

Lifestyle Newborn Photography has my heart. There is absolutely no doubt about that. I LOVE being a Newborn Photographer in Jacksonville and St Augustine, Florida and I am so honored each time a family welcomes me into their home. This sweet family actually booked me with their first sweet boy, but that was 2020 and well.......the newborn session didn't happen. We did have many wonderful sessions together, but we missed that first one and I just love newborn photos and meetin

I did a post last week about "WHY" for outdoor newborn photography. As a newborn photographer I know that I love Lifestyle Newborn...

We all know 2020 was a year. Many would say a dumpster fire year. BUT, one thing that came from 2020 for me as a newborn photographer, that was good, was outdoor newborn photoshoots. I started it as a safer way to capture such a special time, BUT I have more reasons why I love them now (& kept them around). So, here are my TOP THREE REASONS to do an Outdoor Newborn Photo session. 1) Fresh Air Beautiful Locations (without having to clean) Some people dislike Lifestyle Newborn

Newborn Photos at home have gotten more and more popular with each passing year. As a newborn photographer in Jacksonville and St Augustine, Florida I can say I absolutely love it! Newborn Photography, and especially lifestyle newborn photography just has a special place in my heart. Each newborn photoshoot I fall in love with and of course, snuggling a newborn babe is never bad. So, make your day better with a few favorites from this Newborn Portrait session in St Augustine,

Newborn photos DO NOT have to be indoors in a studio or at home. They also DO NOT have to be within the first 14 days of life. You can capture beautiful newborn images outside with 4-5 week old babies (truly even up to 3 months) and still get all that sweetness. Bonus, older babies give more eye contact and sometimes smile more which makes for beautiful photos. Make your Friday better with some newborn sweetness from this recent outdoor Twin Outdoor Newborn Photography sessio

Newborn Photography at home fills my soul. I'm not even kidding. Being able to do in home newborn photos or Outdoor Newborn Photography for families all around Jacksonville and St Augustine Florida is an amazing gift.

How is it almost 2022? I feel like I am still processing 2020, much less 2021 and here I am planning 2022. Even though there were ups and downs, I had to say 2021 gave my some AMAZING clients and beautiful sessions so choosing my top newborn photography images was hard. So much so it was SO hard to narrow it down to only 10 favorite images from each category. So, know if I could list all of my favorites this blog post would be SOOOOOOO much longer. (granted, some honorable me

Newborn Photography is pretty much pure, sweet awesomeness. I don't see, how being a Newborn Photographer isn't the best job in the world. Capturing all the love around a newborn baby. Older siblings, furry siblings, all of it. When families ask me back to capture their 2nd baby I am always super honored. Unfortunately, we weren't able to do a Fresh 48 session like we did with big sister, we were able to do a lifestyle newborn photography session and capture all the love. So,

I have been SO blessed with so many amazing newborn photography clients so far this year. Each and every time I am allowed to capture such special moments, such a momentous thing as welcoming a new baby to their first home, I am deeply humbled. As a in home newborn photographer, capturing the details and through into the nurseries you design, the love and silliness of a new big brother, or the gentleness of the furry siblings, I love it all. So, take a moment and check out a

Newborn Photography done at home is definitely one of my favorite kinds of sessions. I LOVE that the older siblings can relax at home, that furry siblings can easily be included, that rooms and areas of the home that are special to the family can be incorporated. All of these things.

It is no secret I absolutely LOVE being a lifestyle newborn photographer in Jacksonville and St Augustine Florida. I LOVE capturing these little lives in their homes, their nursery or even some of the beautiful locations around town. I miss being a Fresh 48 Photographer and cannot wait until I can do that again. This newborn photography session was supposed to be a Fresh 48 session. But sadly, I couldn't be in the hospital so we switch to a Classic Newborn session and it stil
