Newborn photos....All you need to know. {Brevard County Newborn Photographer}

 

So I wanted to talk about newborn photos for a couple of reasons. Today is April 2020 and we are in the middle of a "Stay at home" Order due to a pandemic from the Corona Virus. (just incase you are reading this at a much later time). The order is to basically only leave your house for essentials and that any non essential job must close down. Guess what is not an essential...photos. Do I agree? Not exactly but I will comply.


So the concern for a lot of moms is what about my newborn photos. Of course this is all out of my hands so I want to give you some hope. You see in the ideal world we like to do newborns around the two week mark. Every photographer is different and some say 7 days others 12 days some say not past 21 etc.but we all agree that two weeks is pretty ideal. This allows us to get the BEST results with almost every pose we know how to do. Your baby is still very womb like and sleeps a lot. I find around two weeks moms are finally out of the cloud from delivery and babies start to get feedings more routine. (not always the case but typically)

But what if the world is not ideal...then what? Well even when it is ideal, some babies have been photographed outside this ideal window for other reasons....early birth (preemies) complications after birth (NICU Stay) Adoptions, various health issues for mom and baby etc. So even when the world is normal we always make exceptions because the health of both mom and baby are most important. If your baby is safe to come home, they are safe to photograph but some babies have extended stays.

So my point is that babies can be photographed long after the two week mark. In fact I have done babies up to 8 weeks old and accomplished beautiful photos for moms to love and cherish. Yes some poses are not possible. Yes they may be more alert. Yes they may be a little bigger. The point is to give you hope that when this passes we can still capture your baby and create memories for you to hold on to.

Here are some babies we have captured past the two week mark who are just as adorable as ever. <3

If these Walls Could talk..... (Brevard County Photographer)

As you sit in your home during this time and look around what do you see? Do you see your walls? What fills your walls? Do you know your walls hold so much character about you and your family. About the life that you live and the activities that take place. The words that are spoken and so much more....

What if our walls could talk?? Would they tell about the love we have for our family? Would the tell us about the people that mean the most? Would the bring us joy to hear their stories?

Well your walls do talk kind of sorta. In fact you can help make them talk by the way you decorate your walls. Sadly we have lost the art of actually decorating walls. Hear me out. I know we have all watch HGTV and have fallen in love with our dear farm house girl...Joanna Gaines. BUT what I am about to say might hurt a little. You see when she decorates a home she makes it look beautiful in many ways. The colors match perfectly, the decor looks like it belongs in a magazine and everything is perfect....right? The reality of it though is there are no pictures on the walls. The people who make the house a home or not displayed and the memories to go along with the years of love and laughter sign is missing. We write "Family" in words and display it with a cute quote but what about our actual family members? Where are they? hidden on our phones and computer screens.

I know growing up my mom and grandma displayed EVERY photos. Rightfully so. They had to PRINT every photo in order to see it. So my generation has become a little overwhelmed by that process and we went the complete and opposite direction to no photos anywhere.

This breaks my heart, yet also fuels me for providing this lost service to my clients. This is why I want you to display your photos and purchase prints from me. The ones who matter should be displayed in your home and on your real walls...not just your FB wall.

So since I have had a little free time, I wanted to share some tasteful ways you too can dispaly these images...and YES...I CAN HELP! And YES past sessions can still order images to display. Need extra help, just reach out to me. I would love to help bring your walls to life with the ones you love most.....

 Your baby's nursery is a great place to hang photos. You will spend  a lot of time in here the first year of life. Rocking and feeding your little one. While they may not appreciate or truly see the splendor of it all, you will look at these walls and enjoy the display of art work of your precious little one.

 The Master bedroom is the most popular place I find parents hang their images from a newborn session. A baby is such an intimate display of love for many. So they want their most treasured possessions where they can see them. Plus as your little one grows it's a great place to keep their newborn photos up for years to come.

 The entry way to your home is the first place that so many of us see. When we walk in or invite others into our homes. This is where you should definitely display updated family photos. The first thing you should see when you walk in should bring you joy. So why not use the ones you love for this??

 So many of us spend lots of time in our living space. In fact new homes now only have one space compared to the old houses that had two separate areas (formal and non formal) So take the time to make this spot feel like home. Showcase the ones in your family for all to see. Plus studies show that when you display your children on the walls of your home, you boost their confidence.


Are you displaying the photos you love of the ones you love most in your home? Stop putting signs up that say "family" or "Live, Laugh, Love" instead show us who your family is and show us what makes you laugh. If you need help I am here to help design and create the perfect wall space.

Newborn Promo Video

As this little business has grown, I still get lots of people who don't always understand the art of newborn photographer or the investment associated with it. Especially, if  you are brand new to the parenting world this may be completely foreign to you...and that is ok. I have been wanting to do a promo video for quite some time now. I wanted to highlight our work behind the scenes, showcase our passion and our end goal of preserving this moment and all the details.

I had the pleasure of hiring Spark 11 Productions here in Melbourne and they helped bring this vision to life and to say I am excited is an understatement. They captured the very essence of what I wanted to convey and more. Our sweet model for the day was perfect too.

Originally, I planned to stay off camera for speaking and anything not related to behind the scenes. But their expert advice was to be the face on the camera since I am the face behind the business. So I ran next door to the hair salon and she squeezed me in between clients to get my hair camera ready. Boy was I thankful for that.

After a few bloopers and lots of guidance we have a beautiful finished product. Thank you to everyone who made this happen and to everyone who continues to allow me the honor and privilege to capture, create and preserve these special moments.
