I love it when I meet new clients and they instantly feel familiar.
This sweet family drove an hour to get their newborn photos done, and as soon as we started talking, I realized they were from my hometown. Even though I had never met them before it felt like I was catching up with old friends. We knew some of the same people, and we even bonded over something that was a big part of their life: hunting.
Hunting for them is more than a hobby, it’s a tradition. They truly enjoy it and it’s something they are excited to share with their son one day. So, when they asked if they could incorporate a set of deer antlers into the newborn photos it was an immediate yes!
I love newborn photography because it captures a time in my client’s life that is incredibly special. Adding those antlers meant something to them because they have spent time together and created memories doing what they love. Including sentimental items to newborn photography creates powerful photos that become heirlooms one day.
My favorite thing about being a newborn photographer is telling your story. Adding small details from your life is one of the best ways to do this. It could be something that has been passed down through generations, a meaningful hobby such as hunting, fishing, or sports. It’s the small things that make a photo go from good to amazing, they become timeless.
I want you to know that if you book with me, I am happy to incorporate something special into your session.
If it means something to you, then it does to me as well.
Adding these items to reflect your family’s story, while keeping everything safe, and styled naturally is important to me. One day you will look back on these photos and remember who you were and the things you loved as a family.
After this newborn session was over, I felt refreshed. It reminded me why I love newborn photography so much. Connecting with this family was special and creating photos that reflected their passions was something I truly enjoyed.
If you’re expecting and looking for a newborn photographer to tell your story, don’t hesitate to reach out. I would love to work with you.
