What happens if my newborn doesn't sleep? {Southern Pines NC newborn and baby photographer}

Being a newborn baby is a lot of work! All of that eating and sleeping and crying can be exhausting! Just like adults, newborns can have an "off day." One of the questions I get the most about newborn photography is what happens if my baby doesn't sleep? It's pretty simple, we will just try again another day. This was the case for this sweet family and our second session was smooth sailing! Here are a few of my favorites that mom choose, if you would like to see what an entire gallery looks like please contact me!

Mommy and Me Studio Sessions {Pinehurst NC newborn and baby photographer}

I know as a mother I'm not in photos with my sweet babies nearly enough! I am always the one behind the camera. I have THOUSANDS of photos just on phone of my kiddos. Guess how many I am in with them? Maybe a handful! Motherhood is a beautiful and exhausting at times journey so I really wanted to create the perfect setup for moms to feel beautiful and capture the love they have for thier babies. These sessions have been a huge hit with all of my clients in the Fayetteville, Fort Bragg and Southern Pines, NC area. I can't wait to meet so many new faces next week and snuggle your babies!

Creating Unique Images for Your Newborn Photography Session {Southern Pines NC newborn and baby photographer}

One of my biggest goals when photographing your new baby is to make sure that you get a gallery filled with beautiful images. My clients get a proof gallery and actually choose the images they want to me included in thier collection. That way they are getting thier favorite images and not just mine! Part of my brand is to create unique images for each family that visits my studio. Here are a few of my favorites that mom choose from this newborn photography session.

Moran Maternity and Newborn Session {Fayetteville NC Maternity and Newborn Photographer}

When I found out that dad was going to miss the birth of thier sweet baby girl, I wanted to make sure that both sessions were perfection. Military life is hard and I know that when a spouse has to miss out on such monumental life events it's challenging. We met in early December for a maternity session and while the sunlight was GORGEOUS it was chilly out! I am so glad mom was so brave to go out in the cold because the images speak for themselves. After baby was born they came in for a newborn session and I was so excited grandma agreed to let me include her. I know that for most of my miiltary families grandparents don't get to visit often so I always try to enourage them to participate. These are just a few of my favorites from both sessions. Thank you so much for letting me capture these irreplacable moments for your family! Make sure to follow me on Facebook to stay up to date with my latest work: www.facebook.com/j.marie.photography.1

When your client is another local photographer.... {Southern Pines, NC newborn and baby photographer}

It's always a little nerve racking when another local photographer asks you to photograph thier family! For me personally though it's the BIGGEST compliment! If you find yourself in this position, please remember community over competition. Over the last several years I have been blessed to photography many local photographer's newborn in the Southern Pines and Fort Bragg areas. When they came to the studio mom was so nervous that baby wasn't going to sleep but everything couldn't have went more perfect! Here are just a few of my favorites that mom choose of her sweet family. If you are expecting a new baby, I would love to chat about what you are looking for!
