Naturally Posed Newborns
Why I Use Natural Posing For Newborns Newborn photography has become one of my favorite types of sessions. I have been photographing newborns now for over 10 years, and I LOVE it. During this time, I took numerous posing workshops, lighting workshops, read about techniques, and practiced… a lot! I am very comfortable with newborns (and even have three children of my own).

Photographs of Older Children
Newborns, Babies, and Toddlers Newborns, babies and toddlers are often the most photographed by photographers. They change so quickly in the first few months and years that it’s important to freeze time and capture those memories to look back on. I certainly agree the newborn and toddler stages are an important time to document, but I also believe our older children deserve to be captured as they hit new milestones. Why Photograph Big Kids?
