Meet Blake Olivia and her happy family. She was just a week old here and her big brother turns two this week. Like most of my Charleston newborn sessions, this one was shot inside their home. Check out Blake’s nursery decor! That color and the alphabet wall hanging…love it! Blake’s mom crafted those herself. We had the nursery nice and warm with plenty of natural window light, so baby girl slept like a… well, like a baby. We shot a few family photos on the front porch, too. While I come to a newborn session with the perfect sleepy baby poses at the top of my to-do list, the candids and family moments are the real treasures. I recommend newborn sessions to be shot within the first week while they are sleepyheads and quite easy to pose. The time invested in a session like this is well worth it for the memories captured. Speaking personally, they grow up way too fast. Hug them, kiss them, tell them you love them, and take lots of pictures!...

Working with Liam made me yearn for another baby to hold and snuggle, so it’s good that I can photograph them to get my fix. Annie, whose maternity session was featured a short while back, told me that her brand new baby loved to sleep the mornings away. He was just 11 days old when we met up, but I think he must have liked me. He wouldn’t shut his eyes for anything. We came back and tried it again the following morning with more success. You’ll see Annie’s super duper trick for keeping a newborn warm and happy on a frigid winter morning. I am definitely stealing this idea for future use on cold days! Big brother might have been a little excited, too….he jumped in front of the camera between snacks and playing behind the camera with me. Annie is demonstrating her amazing skills...
