Meet Baby Alina{Brevard County Newborn Photographer}

It seems like forever since I actually blogged a session. Thankfully it is because I have been super busy and not just forgetting to do them. So thanks for always referring me to friends and family to capture their memories. I still love blogging about each session, so even though we are about 6 months behind on this, I love letting you see more images from the actual session. I feel it gives you a full overview of the session and I get to tell everyone's story.

Sweet Alina was so tiny and sweet. Her mama won one of our giveaways and decided to use it for a newborn session...smart choice if you ask me. I loved the simple soft colors she choose during her session. Mom decided to just focus on baby during this session and kept it simple and sweet. Alina was a joy to work with. <3

After her session, mom choose a beautiful custom made album to cherish her images forever. She received a 20 page spread containing 30 images and 10 digital files. I love being able to help clients receive tangible products of their images to cherish for years to come.

Meet Baby Reese {Brevard County Newborn Photographer}

I first interacted with Angie the early part of the year. Angie's husband had just taken a new job at Northrup Grumman and they were getting ready to move here from Texas. She had joined one of the local groups on Facebook and asked about OBGYNs since she was also expecting. I reached out to her to welcome her to the area. Having lived here my whole life, I always try to help others when moving here. Brevard County especially is a special area. Just like any where there are really nice areas and not so nice areas. There are congested areas and not so congested areas. So I think it is nice to know a local when you are looking for answers.

I once knew someone that saw an ad online about Palm Bay. They moved here without ever visiting just because the ad was convincing enough. Much to their surprise, it was not like they envisioned at all. They lived on a street with tons of pot holes and far from everything, including the bodies of water their ad talked about for fishing and family fun. So I think it always helps to get a locals opinion.

So I answered her questions about OBGYNs and places to live relative to where her husband was working. And of course I mentioned I was a photographer and would love to snuggle her new baby. Well, she kept my info handy and closer to her due date she reached out to me. I always love when interactions turn out great for all parties involved.

They have settled into the area, just moved into their new home and welcomed sweet Reese into the world. To say they have a lot going on is an understatement. Then let's add hurricane Irma. Usually during a session we talk all about babies, motherhood, and get to know one another more. This time we talked about that stuff but we really talked about hurricanes. I can't even imagine just moving into your home and bringing home a baby to have to deal with a hurricane. Fortunately they had hurricane shutters and found a generator.

Having lived here my whole life, I never evacuated for a storm until Irma. But due to the uncertain-ness of the storm, the size and not working for corporate America, Justin and I decided I should take Calvin and go spend time with my sister in Tennessee. So I did. After much talk, Angie and her family decided to do the same. Ironically enough we were both in the Knoxville area. We both fared the storm well and made it safely back and forth.

Reese was a trooper through it all. She will have quite a story to tell later in life about her first hurricane at only a few weeks old.

Angie was so kind and patient as she allowed me to focus on the safety of my family, versus editing her images. Of course they traveled with me to remain safe. As did all of my images from every session. Sweet Reese had a great session and we captured some amazing shots of her with her family who adores her and some by herself. She had some great eye contact too during her session. So glad all the hurricane stress is (hopefully) all behind us and we can all go back to enjoying these great moments! Congrats to this sweet family!

Meet Baby Liam {Brevard County Newborn Photographer}

When having your first child there are so many things to learn and know. From feeding, to changing diapers, to sleep schedules to crying cues. It can be  a lot. I remember thinking that 9 months was a long time to prepare only to realize when I was expecting my first, 9 months flew by. Everything I tried to read and learn became information overload once the sleep deprived mommy hood began. Eventually we all bounce back and wonder how we even managed to survive..right?

Well for Melissa, she's been adjusting quite well. Liam came quick from the time she went into labor until he made his appearance. They told her to expect a good8-10 hours but Liam had other plans, he was here less than 5 hours! Some things go by the book and other things don't. We just have to learn to be flexible and ready! Good thing they were ready for him.

Scheduling newborn sessions is a lot like timing the birth, we just kind of guess until is happens. When you schedule a newborn session with me, it is best to schedule in advance to ensure I leave space on my calendar for you. We pencil your due date as the session date and then once baby arrives, we hard schedule the session. We had up to 14 days to schedule a newborn session to ensure a womb like state for posing. No worries, if something happens, we can go past this date.

Melissa will admit she had no clue about scheduling a newborn session, rightfully so since she never had a baby. So when Liam arrived and was looking for a newborn photographer, she noticed a lot were already booking later into the year. She reached out to me, and I had some free space on my calendar. (here's a secret, I love babies and 99% of the time I can squeeze you in). So we quickly worked out the details and got them scheduled. She shared with me that daddy was a firefighter and wanted to use his gear. I was so excited. Months ago I purchased an old fire hose begging to be a prop for pictures. I was finally getting to use it.

Liam was very alert during his session. This used to scare me, but I've learned some babies (mine included) are just alert and nosy and that's ok. We got some great shots of him and with his family. We also captured shots of him with his great grandparents who were kind enough to let us use their home for the session.

Enjoy looking at these sweet images. I love his facial expressions, I feel in true male fashion, he is giving me the "I don't want my picture taken look" a few times. :)
