Why I Chose to be a Newborn Photographer in Augusta, GA

Hey mamas! I wanted this weeks post to be a bit more personal and give you some background into my story. I want you to know that when you hire me, you’re hiring someone who isn’t just taking photos for money. Unfortunately, photography is often seen as an “easy” field and many get into it for that reason. For me though, newborn photography in Augusta, GA is so much more that!

It was 2014 when I first started my journey into being a professional photographer. Initially, I was actually a wedding photographer! I enjoyed wedding photography as it was filled with so much love and laughter. I was able to capture some incredible moments between brides, grooms, families, and kids! However, weddings as I’m sure you know, can last anywhere from 8-12 hours. They’re all day events between the ceremony and the reception. Whereas that was fine for me when I was first starting out, it quickly became a problem when I had my son Michael in 2017!

Working 12 hour wedding days while trying to raise a newborn was taxing. It took a toll on me both mentally and physically, especially because I was breast feeding at the time. So, I had to be sure he had enough food from me to be gone for 12 hours at a time. It honestly just became too stressful and I decided I needed something that was a little bit more flexible. So, I decided in 2017 to make the switch from a wedding photographer to a newborn photographer!

Making the switch to newborn photography in Augusta, GA

I have always absolutely adored kiddos! Newborns in particular though are very near and dear to my heart. That first year of their life goes by way too quick. They grow and develop so fast that if you’re not there to see it, it’s truly gone in the blink of an eye. This was when I realized how important newborn photography is.

Knowing how delicate and fragile newborn babies are, I decided to invest into newborn mentoring with one of the best newborn photographers in the Washington D.C. area. Your baby’s safety is my number one priority. The 1:1 hands-on mentoring with Stephanie really helped me to safely pose a newborn baby; a skill that should never be attained by watching tutorials online or through a learning by doing mentality. I am grateful to be among the top newborn photographers in the Atlanta and Charleston, SC area.

A contributing factor to my decision to switch to newborn photography was also the simple fact that I never got newborn photos taken of my son when he was born. All of the photos I have of him are on my phone and I would be crushed if they ever got lost. These images on my phone are all I have of him during that age and that’s just not enough sometimes. I want to provide mother’s with beautiful photos of their little one that I then have printed for you in a heirloom album. You also get the digital copy so that you have a backup! These moments deserve to be preserved and I am honored to be able to do so for you!

I also get the opportunity to capture your little one during this fast-moving stage of life. I get to provide you with prints of your sweet baby all curled up on your bed, swaddled in your arms, taking a nap on the couch, and you have those photos forever! Newborn photography acts as a time capsule, providing you with snapshots of a time all moms wish lasted just a little bit longer.

So, enough about me! I want to hear about you and your little one! Please don’t hesitate to reach out to schedule an in-home newborn photography session in Columbia, SC and Augusta, GA!
