( yes… even your phone!) I look forward to photographing your family soon! GET READY! SAFETY FIRST! Always have another adult present to be close to baby while talking photos with siblings or pets! If they loose patience, try again at another time and be patient. You never know how siblings or pets can react, even if it is just to play Never leave a newborn or baby unattended or never use a prop that could be potentially dangerous like a glass bowl or a basket with sharp twigs. Please do not attempt any poses that you see newborn photographers do. Professional newborn photographers have been trained for posing safely. It is best to capture baby in a gentle and natural pose. When using a camera, please use camera strap at all times! Listen to baby’s cues. Your little one may try to tell you they have had enough. Pace yourself, you just had a baby and will need rest! You can break it up over a few days, and that’s OK! Your photos are not going to look the same as professional photos and that is ok! …

Attitude of gratitude newborn photographer Kauai Hawaii

Hello everyone! I wanted to address the situation we are facing now with the corona virus. As a newborn photographer I have always taken cleanliness very seriously, when photographing newborns in my studio, safety and a clean germ free environment are my number one priority. Newborn studio sessions are my absolute favorites, but I have decided to cancel all studio sessions until the end of March for the safety of my clients as we all work to slow the spread of the virus together. In the meantime I will be continuing to do maternity sessions outdoors in the fresh air and will take this time to post some of my favorite newborn photos from sessions past. In addition I will be working on some “behind the scenes” projects. I appreciate your support and look forward to all your comments on my upcoming posts. I look forward to being back in the studio soon!

Perry | Baby session Newborn Photography Beaufort SC Savannah GA

Baby session with this gorgeous 9 week old, I got some darling expressions of his beautiful face and blue eyes before he fell asleep. I love a day spent in my beautiful studio getting my props ready and spending some time with a baby, having 4 daughters myself, I miss those days and it brings me so much joy to spend time photographing these precious babies. I love photographing babies around 2 month of age in a baby session with just white baby props for a simple and organic feel. The focus is on the baby’s face, his features and little pieces such as hands, feet, mouth.

Danielle | Beaufort SC sunrise maternity beach session Hilton Head SC

What a beautiful morning for this maternity session at the beach! Beautiful expecting mom at the beach on a very warm morning at sunrise, we got lucky again with beautiful clouds which is my favorite and those peach colors in the sky which was so beautiful with her blue dress! Danielle was at a great stage of pregnancy at about 30 weeks, my favorite stage is around that mark when mom is still comfortable and it is a very photogenic time for mom’s bump:) What a beauty and I love that her long curly hair was left natural! This couple was so sweet and their love was apparent.
