Moments of Joy Babies and Bellys, Family Portrait Photographer, Newborns, Pregnant, Babies: May 2012

Here is the Little Lovely London!!!

About 12 years ago when I set out on this photography business road...one of my first goals was to SOMEHOW be in the packets that the moms get in the hospital when they bring their babies home. I had no idea how to do that...asked a few nurses a few times, kinda just decided it wasn't going to happen. Other "big" chain photographer's already were there with the newborn pics and had advertisements for future sessions and seem to have contracts in place to protect anyone else from coming in.

Last year a marketing firm found my website and asked if I wanted to be a part of a new program in 2 area hospitals. They asked me to come up with a special for new moms that would reach EVERY mom having a baby in those hospitals...I was so excited I HAD REACHED MY GOAL!!!

And THEY found/chose me!!! (this year 3 area hospitals will be a part of this program).

So...back to Little Lovely London!!!

I honestly have been looking at a LOT of online photography...as any good photographer knows you need to SEE what others are doing.

This shoot...I decided to STAY true to my style and we were going to try a few "poses" if that's what you call them. I think they are just very natural ways of cuddling and loving on a baby... so with very little direction...no photo shopping newborns heads upright and in place in unnatural newborn poses...AND in LESS then an hour (I heard from a client who did a "special" with someone else, got ONE really beautiful picture, but after 2 days and SEVEN hours!!! SERIOUSLY?!?)

Here is the outcome of little 5 week old London's photo shoot with her mom and dad!

This was the very first picture taken...I think it is my favorite of the day!
