Introducing Jackson, such a sweet little guy. He came in for his newborn session right at two weeks old. Many people are confused or don’t understand why we recommend the first two-three weeks of life for baby pictures. There are a few reasons. The first being that we want to capture them fresh. We love to see the wrinkles, the hairy shoulders, the flaky skin. We love the soft fingernails, tiny lashes. Each unique little feature of your newborn baby changes quickly. Soon they won’t fit so tiny in your arms. The little peach fuzz on their shoulders, back and cheeks will soon be gone. They won’t be as curly, as sleepy. Their features will change, and they won’t quite look like a newborn anymore.

They are only this fresh, this tiny for such a short time. It is a fleeting moment that we love capturing for parents and families. In this stage they sleep deeply, they love to have their legs curled in to their bodies, just like they had them in the womb. The baby acne hasn’t developed yet. These are the moments that all too often are forgotten. Sleep deprivation takes its toll.

We love creating lasting, treasured memories for families and parents of their baby’s first days of life. Moments and memories that can never be recreated. Let us capture your baby for you. You’ll never regret having gorgeous images of your new little one. We can’t wait to work with you!
