ABSOLUTELY. Seriously, this family chose downtown Atlantic Beach, Florida for their newborn photoshoot and I LOVE it. The colors, the vibe, all of it. Wearing matching chuck taylors, walking brick sidewalks in the morning before it's busy. A mural of a chicken, glass garage door, all of it comes together for a beautiful newborn photography session. Though I do love when I get to do Lifestyle Newborn Photography at home for my clients. In their home with all the details of bri

They were your first children, even if they are a fur baby. We LOVE our pets. So, when you welcome a new addition to the family it's natural to want to include them in your newborn photoshoot. As a newborn photographer in Jacksonville and St Augustine Florida, I can you tell my answer when clients ask. YES. YES. YES. I love including pets in newborn photos, AS LONG AS WE CAN DO IT SAFELY. If that means, the dogs sit next to the crib, but not near the baby? Sometimes. But even

When a new baby arrives, life can get a bit crazy. Sometimes the idea of making sure everything is packed up, everyone is ready to drive to a studio for photos seems daunting. Add in toddler siblings and making sure snacks, toys and everything can come along, the idea of it all can sound exhausting. BUT, it doesn't have to be that way.

It's no secret if you have been following my photography blog for awhile, that I LOVE newborn photos. Especially, lifestyle newborn photoshoots in client's home.

When you're due date is close you begin to think about how you are going to take this little life in the car, keep up with feeing them, bathing, cleaning yourself, cleaning the house, sleep.....all of it. It can feel overwhelming, but what if I told you it didn't have to be. Newborn photography at home can alleviate many of those concerns. Ok, yes you have to feed the baby (& yourself), yes you have to bathe because it will make you feel SO much better, but the rest??? The re

So, newborn photography has grown SO much over the years. When it first started, the studio look was all anyone did. Standard poses, and often times elaborate set ups with babies in boxes and such. A few years ago, I realized I preferred the more relaxed, lifestyle newborn photography style and I never looked back. Your newborn photoshoot can be as simple as you want. Which takes away a lot of unnecessary stress after just having a baby. With newborn photos at home, I bring e

Other than being my favorite kind of session ever, a Lifestyle Newborn photography session means I come to you. I bring blankets, wraps, headbands, lights if needed, all of it. You get the benefit of not having to take your newborn baby out of the house. Your favorite snacks are always nearby. Furry babies can be included (I LOVE it). Toddlers and older siblings can play, come and go as they please, watch their favorite show, all in the comfort of their own home. I fell in lo

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.

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.

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,

If you've never heard of Lifestyle Newborn Photography you may not realize, it means I come to you. Packing up to take the baby out into the world days after birth? Nope. Making sure you bring snacks, toys and everything for the toddler or older siblings? Nope. Cleaning the house before your session? Nope. I bring everything to you, schedule it around your schedule (which means older kids don't have to miss school even) and am totally fine with the "fake clean" as we just mov
