First Look: Charleston Newborn Session

He was pretty good to me this morning

There were alley cats, chickens (aka dogs) and horses galore during this session tonight.

There is something so special about having a newborn at home. There were several moments while I was shooting that mom or dad would stop and sigh -- partly from being tired, but mostly from the sheer joy of finally having their little girl home. 

The floral "E" hung above the crib. These flowers were used during their wedding and now find a home in their daughter's nursery. How sweet is that?

A little snooze during our studio mini session this morning. When the fingers went in his mouth, I melted.

Mom was worried we weren't going to get any pictures of her baby since she was already two weeks old. 14 days is usually where newborn photographers start to squirm since babies tend to be more alert and  particular about their hands, arms, feet, etc.  While this little miss did not want to miss anything at first, she finally tuckered out. I don't know about you, but I think we got mom some adorable images!

I am so excited to announce that I'll now offer newborn MINI sessions! Woo hoo! These sessions are perfect for parents who only want a few images of their newborn. Of course it will depend on how sleepy your little one is, but we were able to get a beautiful gallery of images in just one hour of this sleeping beauty.

Don't let their spring outfits fool you. This was a year-end mini session that we did back in November. This is why I love the South, especially the Lowcountry so much. White Point Gardens downtown by the Battery served as the perfect backdrop for this sweet family. After stopping to watch a wedding (the girls wanted to watch the bride and groom kiss), we popped over to Church Street to wrap up their session.
