Yesterday I had my first newborn session. Though I have shot many babies and newborns too, they were always more as a family session. Or most were second children where I shot both siblings. Yesterday was my first newborn session that strictly focused on just baby. And I must say that was hard! Lots and lots of patience go into these newborn shoots. You should of seen us. Dad was set director ready with props, holding up blankets. Mom was ready at hand with burp cloth, bottle, or binky. I patiently waiting for the "shot". If she got fussy Dad would gently whisper in her ear and she would fall asleep. Then we all would look at each other and hold our breath as he pulled out the binks!
A few months ago I was able to do a bridal shoot with some other local photographers and met a woman named Jolie. She specializes in newborns and is AH-MAZING! And now after my shoot I think she is even more Dabomb.com! How she gets those poses! I tried and did okay but am eager to get them down now! If you are a photographer and want some cute props for newborns she also knits and sells the cutest pods, cocoons, earflap hats, etc in her etsy shop. I wish I could have got some but was contacted late by my client and I didn't want the baby to get any older. But they are sooooo cute! You must check them out! Even though I got pooped and peed on yesterday, it just fueled my passion more for different types of photography. My friend sent me this and I think I should go! So my hat is off to Jolie and all newborn photographers! Sneak Peaks of my session will be up soon!
