Columbia SC Newborn Photography | Love is in the Details!

December 8, 2010

Do you know what my favorite part of a newborn photography session is? You might be surprised. It’s not when I get the baby to sleep so soundly that they barely stir when I position them….although believe me, that is a great moment. It’s not when I capture a smile crossing their lips as they slumber…..although that is a pretty sweet gift that I totally appreciate. And it’s not when I get to hold them and smell their sweet smell and feel a sense of gratitude pass over me for the time I get to spend in their angelic presence.

It’s the in-between moments. It’s the details of life….and love. It’s watching a mother look at her child in a way that portrays such deep affection, when the camera ISN”T pointed her way. It’s watching a big strong man turn to a big ball of mush that nuzzles his babe every moment he gets. And it is capturing the tiny little details that will be gone or changed before you know it……the changes you tell yourself are coming but when they do, you can’t believe they came so quickly. The tiny fingers and toes, the sweet lips and precious curls.

And I want to say thank you to all the families who allowed me to be present and be witness and capture this magnificent time in your lives.

This little princess came into the world a little earlier than we expected her to. And the first time I visited her, she was so tiny that we decided to postpone the session a few weeks. I’m so glad we did. Look how beautiful she is!!! And so loved. And mommy and daddy were so relaxed and natural. I asked them to repeat the things that came naturally for them so that I could capture the beauty of those moments. Here are some of the posed and some of the natural moments from our day together:)

Mom and Dad, tell your friends and family members to check out the images and leave a little love on your blog post. If you get 35 comments from unique visitors (with their email address), you can choose your favorite image for a 5×7 print on me! If you get 50 comments, it’s an 8×10!! Enjoy:)

What a gorgeous looking baby, every single shot is a winner, lovely session. So much to say about this session – I love the multicolour banket and that last shot with that gorgeous colour background, you know just the right colours to pick. The shot with Dad holding her and you can see her precious newborn wrinkles on her bottom is precious. Honestly, I could say something gorgeous about every single shot!! My absolute favourite though would have to be the one with the parents on the bed kissing, it’s totaly adorable that she is pouting her little lips just like Mum and Dad, absolutely priceless!!

prior to becoming a parent, I wondered what my children would look like. After seeing my oldest for the first time, “Beautiful” was the only comment I could utter.
Feel free to borrow it, you two. These photos are breathtaking. She is truly a gift from the Creator.
Peace unto you all.
