The First 24 Hours- A newborn hospital session

I have always loved birth photography but as a full time mom I just don't have the flexibility to be on call for this type of a session so an alternative I am happy to offer clients is a first day hospital shoot. Still capturing that perfect newness of the baby and giving mom a chance freshen up and feel, well,  a little more human the hospital session is a great way to save some money (because of time and flexibility required birth photography can be quite expensive) and document the huge milestone of welcoming a new baby. These sessions are definitely lifestyle sessions, I don't pose babies in the hospital (or the first day at a home birth) and we really try to capture the emotions and wonder of a brand new family on their first day. This type of session is especially fun if a older siblings may be coming to the hospital to meet the newest member of the family. I am so thrilled that my first hospital session was able to be my beautiful friend and favorite lifestyle blogger Lauren of Blissful Happenings. Welcome to the world baby Rocco!

Blissful Happenings Shoot 2 - Photographer's Choice Roundup

Last week I caught up with my favorite fashion blogger for another awesome fashion shoot! I just love these sessions. Creativity, great fashion, great conversation and a treat from Lauren's amazing tea drawer. Now that our third shoot is finished up and ready to be shared on Blissful Happenings, its time for me to share my favorites from our second shoot this past holiday season. Enjoy!
