Very rarely do emails get lost anymore. Most often, on my end, the issue is either my email server decides something is “spam” and the email goes straight to my junk folder, or somehow the email gets deleted. The former happens every once in a while, the latter happens almost never. We still don’t know what happened to the first email Stephanie sent me regarding being their maternity and newborn photographer, but I’m so so glad she reached out to me a second time, after not hearing back from her first attempt!

If this momma and daddy and little fairy baby look familiar, it’s because they’ve already been on the blog several times! Emily and I go way back so it felt so so right to be photographing her precious baby girl before she was even earth side! You can view Emily & Shaun’s maternity session here, Baby Ari’s fresh baby session here, and Baby Ari’s newborn session here.

I met Lauren when she still worked for Hidden Furniture. I talked with her for like 15 minutes about… furniture, and then we became Facebook friends. Fast forward to her pregnancy announcement on Facebook and me causally commenting about working with her for maternity and newborn portraits. Fast forward again and I was arriving at her house to meet face to face with her for only the second time in 12 months and hugging her neck because that’s how awesome Facebook can be. Bringing people together since 2004!

Do I like lifestyle newborn sessions more than posed? Any newborn photographer will tell you that posed newborn portrait sessions are THE BEST if a baby is completely limp noodle zonked out for at least 30 minutes. That’s all it takes really. But when they’re not, which seems to be more common – when they’d rather be held or maybe they’re just not sleepy, lifestyle sessions flow better.

Happy Monday! You first met Baby Mia last week when her Fresh Baby session was on the blog. Then she was super awake and alert and taking in all the sites and sounds of her new world. During her newborn session only a few days later, however, she was one of the sleepiest babies I’ve ever photographed. Both of which are completely normal and exactly how I like ’em!

God bless this precious family! I’ve had the honor of following along Erica & Brandon’s journey from almost the beginning! I met Erica four years ago while photographing her cousin Sunni’s wedding. Since then I’ve photographed Erica’s family and had my hair done by her for over a year. She is a talented hairstylist and the sweetest human! As our friendship grew, I learned that she and her husband Brandon were struggling with infertility. Graeme was already with us so I was able to share our journey with her, from the other side.
