Why do an Outdoor Newborn photoshoot?
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

Outdoor Newborn Photography
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

Top Newborn Photography Images of 2021
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

In home Newborn Photographer
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

Lifestyle Newborn Photography
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. This was my 2nd newborn photoshoot at home for this family and with big brother rocking all of it, you can't help but assume it was perfection. Scroll to check out a few of my favorites from this

Lifestyle Newborn Photographer
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

Lifestyle Newborn Photographer
Newborn Photography has been a love of my mine for years. Being a Lifestyle Newborn Photographer quickly became my favorite form of capturing these sweet, new little lives. Being able to capture the nursery, the family at home, allow toddlers breaks to play where they are comfortable. It's all perfection. A few years ago, I photographed this wonderful family's first daughter. One of the pins from that session on Pintrest has been viewed by over 18k people. Which is INSANE. B

Newborn Photography at home
Newborn Photography has had a special place in my heart for years. Maybe it's because I don't have real newborn photos of my girls. I mean, I have photos. And I did my best "Pinterest fail" with my oldest on our pool table with a pink blanket underneath her, but I was definitely not a pro at the time and not even using a good camera. But I do have those photos and that's what matters. Do I wish Lifestyle Newborn photography was a thing back then? 100% yes. Or that I had alrea

Newborn Photography in the comfort of home
What? Back to back Newborn Photography blog posts? Well, the quarantine indeed brought a baby boom and I couldn't be more excited. This was the second sweet baby girl I have photographed for this sweet family and she was just as precious as their first. Did you know I offer Petite Newborn sessions? Shorter sessions and they don't include a video slideshow, but they can still capture the details of your little one in a short one hour session. To see more of my lifestyle Newbor

Taking Newborn Photos Outdoors
2020 was......well it was. BUT I think a lot of us can say we learned a few things. One thing I learned, you can still capture beautiful images of a family at an outdoor newborn session. Before that as a Jacksonville and St Augustine newborn photographer, I thought you had to do either posed in the studio newborn sessions or Lifestyle Newborn Photography (my jam). Then, everything changed. Many parents had these precious gifts of little lives arrive, but didn't feel comfortab

Lifestyle Newborn Photography
It's no secret if you have followed my blog, that I LOVE Lifestyle Newborn Photoshoots. Like, I love newborn photos, but I realized a few years ago that a relaxed, lifestyle session with baby led posing was truly how I wanted my business to be. I even refer people who want a more posed type session to other photographers, because that's not my love. And that's OK. This was my third newborn session with this wonderful family and the amount of adorable siblings captures I got i

Fresh 48 Photography for Beautiful Newborn Photos done in the hospital
Oh Fresh 48 Photography!!!! I do so love it. Even though there is still learning and growing I need to do. Being able to capture those first hours with a sweet little life is amazing. This sweet baby girl arrived just before the New Year. So I got to spend New Year's Eve day with her and her wonderful parents. Our second session for their Watch Me Grow plan I get so excited to be able to do this. I love being a Newborn Photographer. I love everything about it. That newbor

Fresh 48 Newborn photos done in hospital
It's not secret Fresh 48 Portraits have become one of my favorite types of photography. Capturing those special moments of Newborn Photography in a new way. These, newborn photos done in hospital capture those details of the first 24 to 48 hours after birth. Details that quickly fade from our memories. So, what better way to improve a Monday then for some sweet newborn photos at St Vincent's Riverside as I share a few of my favorites from this beautiful Fresh 48 Photography

In Hospital Fresh 48 Newborn Photos to capture all those details
Fresh 48 Sessions are slowly becoming more popular and I can't even complain about it. These sessions fill my soul and I seem to more and more LOVE how they turn out. In hospital Fresh 48 newborn photos allow us to freeze all those first details of welcoming a new little life. This sweet baby girl made her arrival early, and with a crazy schedule, I ended up having to bring my almost 12 yo daughter with me. Who turned out to be helpful with the adorable 2 year old big siste
