There was a point during quarantine when I felt like I would stop photographing families altogether. I don’t know why I felt this way. I have always loved photographing all families, but newborns in particular, hold a special part of my heart. It may have been the stress of everything and just feeling down in general. When June came around, we were given permission to begin working again (with some restrictions) and suddenly, all these people started reaching out. I booked sessions and decided I’d see how it went. The first session back I was totally in love with it and I’m still questioning why I thought I’d give it all up. Newborn sessions like this make my heart happy. This sweet little girl was only 6 days old and big brother is only one. When photographing young kids like this, it’s best to let them take the lead. If they want to stay in their parents’ arms the whole time, that’s totally fine with me. This baby girl is so loved and it was an honor to take her newborn photos. Welcome to the world Josephine!
