This is what makes it all worth that shower you forced yourself to take although you were unbelievably tired! Fresh 48 sessions are the way to go if you are not the mom who wants to capture the actual birth and need a day or two to get settled and let it all sink in without missing those hospital memories. Fresh 48 sessions are a must have to look back at your most special day! Capturing you little ones in the first 48 hours of life is absolutely magically even if you don't feel like you look your best! Hey, you just gave birth to a human being and there is nothing more tiring than that but you will regret missing out on these memories. 5 years from now won't even care what your hair looked like that day. I promise!
Parents, I know your tired. You haven't slept in months and nothing has changed now that your little bundle of job has arrived. You want those newborn photos but you barely want to put real clothes on..LOL Thats okay, DONT! Come in your pajamas and don't worry about a single thing. I might still be in my pajamas as well. The beauty of working at home and also being a mother of two young girls. Unless you want to get in on a couple of shots with daddy and the little one and in that case, minimum put on a neutral colored shirt (makeup optional) and just get here. If you've had a C-section, have a someone bring you. Safety is key and the doctors orders about no driving are not just a recommendation. If dad is not available, ask a friend to drive you. Once you arrives, its time to feed. Don't feel rushed at all once you walk in the door. Were going to be here for a while...sometimes a very long while, up to 4 hours. You'll notice its warm when you arrive, but its so those tiny little feet don't get cold during the session. We keep the room at 85 degrees so baby is comfortable and even use a space heater if needed. Once baby is in a milk coma, leave the rest to me. I am a professional baby whisperer so even if baby wakes while posing her or changing scenes, we will get her settled back down in no time. Don't mind the load shushing...It works! If it looks like baby's pose is uncomfortable, rest assure, she is completely comfortable if not more comfortable than before she came through the door. Remember, your baby was all balled up for 9 months and loves to be swaddled and put in positions where she feels secure. Your babies safety is my number one priority. Some babies will sleep through the entire session and some will give us a hard time but don't worry, we will get the shots we need to have your walls and cards looking adorable. No one will ever know your little one put up a fight and pooped on my three times!
Mommy and daughter have a bond that is truly unbreakable. These two captured my heart today and little Giuliana gave me so many beautiful smiles. What a happy little girl! Nicole is one lucky mama.
