Perfect Newborn Photos - Hancock Newborn Sneak Peek
A lot of people ask me if I get baby fever after shooting a newborn session. I always say no and I am sure many do not believe me. I love kids and especially babies! I am the one at a party with adults and sitting on the floor playing with the kids that are present. I have always had a heart for kids. It started very young in me. I remember seeing the Kosair for children jar at the register as a young child and constantly thinking I wish I could help them. One time I put a dollar bill in that jar instead of buying something for me. My mom shocked asked me what I was doing. I said I really want to help the kids. As my kids get older I cherish the newborn sessions even more. I realize how precious this time is for the mom. I try to give advice to the new mom about how I am soothing their baby that might cry a lot or just how to try and remember this time in your life. This is your baby so of course momma knows best but during that sleep depriving time you may not think about simple things. I know there are things I look back on and think I kinda wish someone told me that!!
You will receive a lot of advice and some you may not wanted to hear. One thing I want you to hear is you may not get that perfect newborn photo in a session. I feel very confident that you will be more than happy with your newborn session with me but I also want you to know that sometimes that simple picture of you baby wrapped up and asleep in the blanket you thought you have been the worse to photograph will turn into the perfect photo later. You will look back on the "not pinterest" worthy photo. Take this time to capture as much as you can. They change so much and grow so fast. You will want to remember that baby acne that covered their face, or other blemish and marks from birth. Your baby is perfect exactly the way they are. Grabbed your older child and hand them your phone and say take a picture of me holding the baby. Doesn't matter if your child is 2 or older. Trust me they can all use a cell phone camera! Pretty soon you will think to yourself, I do not remember them that small. It's not that you completely forget. Time just moves so fast.
This sweet girl helped me to remember that time is precious and our kids are miracles. All the complications or things that could go wrong and mine came into this world with no issues. I am very blessed. Learning through my photo sessions to take more time to watch my kids. Watch them brush their teeth or that smile when they look at you. Simple things we pass by every day and could be paying attention to. Next year will be here too soon, don't forget to step back and soak it all in!
