Stuck at Home/Asheville Newborn Baby Photographer

Being stuck at home is making me so anxious to use my camera again.  I’ve been taking lots of on-line photography classes and am so grateful for the photographers who are offering free classes right now!  I’m feeling super inspired and can’t wait to see my clients again!  In the meantime, I have started leaving my camera out on the kitchen counter, which I never do.  I actually never use my camera with my own kids.  It’s always my phone.  So I decided that I needed to start using a real camera to capture this time in our lives.  It’s a time that is affecting us, even more than I realized it would.  My girls are struggling immensely in new ways that I’ve never seen.  It’s so bad that we are finding therapists and talking to doctors.  It’s rough, you guys.  I know you are feeling it too.  We will get through this!!

Baby Lucas/Asheville Newborn Baby Photographer

I loved this family!  They were so in love with their baby boy and made such a great team!  I love working with families but I really love working with first time parents.  There is just something different about how they handle their baby and just gush over every sound and move.  I love it!!  This little guy was so adorable with all that hair but loved hanging out with his eyes wide open.  It was a little bit of work to get through this session but we did it!  😉  Welcome to the world baby Lucas!!

One Year Old/Asheville Baby Photographer

I don’t do older baby sessions anymore but I sure do love them!  This baby girl’s aunt booked this session last December.  A lot of people ask why I don’t do older baby sessions anymore.  I really do love them and love how the pictures turn out but it requires packing up a lot of things in my car, driving to a location, scouting out some good spots, hoping for good weather and good light and then hoping that the baby isn’t cranky since the best time to do a session is just before sunset, the time when most babies are ready for bed.  It’s so much easier to only do newborns in my studio where I know the light and the best time of day.  I don’t have to go anywhere and I can get things set up exactly how I need for them to be.  And I love it so very much!  But this session did make me second guess my decision to specialize only in newborns because this girl was SO cute and so cuddly with her momma and grandmother!  Who knows, maybe one day I’ll go back to doing everything but for now, it’s just newborns.
