Yey! You’re expecting! It’s time to start looking for a photographer! It’s best to schedule a lifestyle newborn session for within 1 week of your little one’s birth. Finding a photographer that you trust could take some time. So start now because finding the perfect photographer to capture beautiful memories for you and your family is so very important!

Today I had the honor of photographing the handsome Jayce Carmelo in his home for a Lifestyle Newborn Session. A Lifestyle Newborn Session is where you and baby are in the comfort of your own home, in your own environment and I come to create beautiful images for you.

A lifestyle newborn session is where I photograph them during their first week of life at home. This is a big adjustment period for all of you. You may not think about documenting these moments, however it is such a gift to have them years later to look back on. I may ask that you place them on the bed and then in their crib. You will be photographed holding your child and even changing their diaper.

Feeding your baby is so special.

It is one of those memories that we often overlook. Whether your baby is being breastfed or bottle fed, it’s a bonding moment. These moments are special and we shouldn’t just pass them by. The details are also an important part of these sessions. The way their crib looks and the ultra sound images that you have around the nursery won’t stay that way forever.

Having a professional come into your home and document these things for you with a fresh eye will help you start your little one’s legacy! As a result, you will be saving these moments for your children and what a lovely gift it is. It is definitely something they will be forever thankful for, year after year.

If you would like to schedule your Lifestyle Newborn Session, please send me an email before your baby is born, and we can figure out a plan for your session!

If you would like to have your baby’s birth photographed or a Fresh 48, we are available for hospital visits as well! Hospitals that we visit are below:
Atlantic Care, Mainland Campus in Pomona, NJ
Shore Memorial Hospital in Somers Point, NJ
*We are unable to photograph C-sections at this time, but are able to photograph natural delivery.

I got to do something extremely special today. I got to shoot my very first newborn in the hospital. His name is Brandon Christopher, Jr… and he is my new baby nephew! I can’t tell you how amazing of an experience this was, having two children of my own I remember being in that hospital bed, and feeling so warn out. As a photographer, I couldn’t take a lot of pictures, I just wanted to sleep and hold my baby. I didn’t think about documenting this moment. Now, I do have a lot of iPhone pictures that to this day I love, because it’s the memory that was captured, and really that is what is important. Now, being on the other side, I feel like I am able to get an outside look for the new mommy and capture this experence how it was, and preserve these memories for her, the daddy and the little baby. I wish I had a photographer come visit me, and give me images like this. I really hope she loves them, and kisses that little baby face each and every single day! (who am I kidding, I know she will! (And I’m pretty sure everyone else will too). So, I know you’re excited to meet him! I am proud to introduce to the world, the new Brandon Christopher, Jr.

Welcome to the world sweet baby boy 😉
