Newborn Photography Charleston SC | Baby Jane

Newborn Photography Charleston SC

I am so excited to share this gorgeous newborn photography session in Charleston SC. Even in small spaces you can still capture gorgeous portraits and I’m so happy that Kayla chose me to capture her growing family. It is truly worth it when hiring a professional newborn photographer, especially someone who's familiar with working in low light and small spaces. I always love a challenge and truly believe this session is one of my favorites that I have captured. Here are just some of my favorites.

After viewing sweet baby Janes portraits Kayla and her husband chose to invest in a heirloom album and print folio box. This is one of my popular packages that clients love. We live in a digital age and many people want access to the digital files for archives and personal reprinting, but I also want to provide my clients with beautiful heirloom pieces that they can share and look at for years to come. My own son loves flipping through his baby album and looking back on how tiny he was, how young mom and dad looked and how much he’s grown over the years. I know sweet baby Jane will appreciate this later on when she’s all grown up and it will also be something she will share with her own kids.

I provide luxury timeless products for my clients. These products have been curated and chosen by me to provide my clients the highest quality of products for them to enjoy for many many years to come. Today these memories are wasted on cell phones and computer hard drives. Instead, choosing to invest in products allows you to enjoy these images every day on your walls. These memories are priceless and I highly encourage you if you’re looking for a Northern Virginia Newborn Photographer to also make sure they offer timeless pieces because babies grow so fast, you don't want to regret not being able to cherish these memories in a tangible way.

Why baby led newborn sessions are so important

AS8A0537-Edit.jpg

Are you looking for an experienced and safe newborn photographer in Northern Virginia? You came to the right place! I’m so glad you’re here! So let’s talk about baby led newborn sessions. What does that mean? Baby-led photography simply means I follow the cues and prompts from you and your baby to ensure we’re meeting all your little ones needs during your newborn session. Rather than follow a rigid schedule of shots, I work WITH your baby’s natural cues to achieve natural and beautiful images of your family. Over the years, my experiences have shown that the more attentive I can be to you and your baby's needs, the more beautiful your photographs turn out.

With that in mind, I listen to the baby’s cues and by doing that, will determine what poses and rooms we start in. If baby is awake and calm when I first arrive, I tackle the sibling shot right off the bat. When I walk into a home with an awake and fussy baby, we start with parents holding baby. Sometimes your newborn might want to eat right away. That’s when I capture feeding photographs or work on capturing details of the nursery. Baby led means there is no right or wrong order for an in-home newborn session.

I always tell my mom’s that each baby is different, and have different needs. Some babies sleep through the whole session, some babies are gassy and are awake the whole time. Listening to their cues will determine which poses and shots I will capture. That’s why I always say each session is SO unique. Not one session has been the same as the other, and because of that, it makes for a more memorable experience.
