Baby H--17 hours old...a different kind of newborn session!

I'm not sure if it was due to pregnancy hormones or because this mommy is so special to me, but when I walked into the hospital room, I lost it.  Like, real tears and shakey-voice emotional at the sight of my dear friend and her brand new baby boy.  After I regained control of my emotions, I spent about an hour photographing perfect Baby H (just 17 hours after his birth) and gushing about how completely perfect he is. 

I've always wanted to try birth photography...and perhaps someday I will.  But at this point in my own family's life the logistics of being "on call" to photograph a birth isn't quite realistic.  But there's something so magical and beautiful about the details in the very first hours of a new baby's life, don't you think?  Let me introduce a different kind of newborn session.  I'm going to call it a "First 48" session, with the intent that it would occur with in the first 48 hours of a new baby's entrance into the world.  Capturing all of Baby's newborn goodness, but in more of a documentary style and less posed than one of my traditional newborn sessions.  Might include a baby's first bath or the first time siblings meet the new baby.  If you (or someone you know) are expecting a baby in the next few months, I'd love to chat more about whether or not a First 48 session is right for you.  In the meantime...enjoy the magic of sweet Baby H's first photo shoot!
