First Milestone: Birth
Thank you for visiting!
Are you expecting your first child? If yes, are you prepared for the most wonderful experience of your life? Holding your child for the first time, even if it is your second or third, is just so breathtaking and should be documented with photographs.
Even though my twins are almost 20 and my youngest 16, I still remember how tiny and perfect they were the day they entered the world. I have a small collection of images that I took of my babies when they were tiny and helpless. Over the years I now have an abundant collection of photographs from all stages. The ones that mean the most to me are from those “key” milestone ages.
The “key” milestone images are so important throughout a child’s life. The milestone this article will cover is the newborn stage.
Newborn: Babies sleep so much in this stage and they need the security of mom or dad to hold them close. Their sense of smell is so keen at this age. They recognize mom and dad right away. This is a great time to focus on relational images. Photographing the tiny treasures; toes, ears, hands, profile. Just as important are mom and baby skin on skin, and dad holding the tiny package with just his hands. Timeless……..
Images from a newborn session make great collections and can be used for baby announcements.
