Newborn & Sibling Portraits

Newborn & Sibling Portraits. I had an idea for a new blog post, only to realize I covered a similar topic in a post last year. But, it is still worth writing because the focus is slightly different. Working with toddlers is a mixed bag ?, but Newborn & Sibling portraits with older siblings is […]

When should we take newborn photos?

A common question expectant parents ask is, “When should we take newborn photos?” Every newborn session is different. Some babies are awake. Some babies are asleep. It just depends on the baby. I usually try to photograph newborns in the studio within 1-2 weeks after the baby is born. During the first 2 weeks of […]

Have you ever bought an outfit that you loved at one time but then a few years later wouldn’t want to wear it anymore? By choosing neutrals colors, chances are you will look […]

Lifestyle/Posed Images in Studio

It has been quite some time since I’ve written a blog post; at least on my computer. I write them in my head all the time, and sometimes I write them in my blog journal. After a very busy fall season, I am catching up on some session blogging. My favorite part about blog posts […]
