Newborn Photos Rhode Island | Baby Nora

Oh newborn photos.  How much I absolutely love love love doing them.  Without doubt, it’s my favorite type of session out of all that I offer.  There is just something special about the sessions.  It’s a brand new time in a family’s life that goes so quickly.

Mom contacted me after seeing one of my fusion videos that I make for my storyteller session clients.  She said she absolutely needed to have that.  They were welcoming their fourth child – and their first girl.  Three adorable, loving big brothers, so excited to meet her 🙂

We started the session in the master bedroom where I really love to do my images.  It’s comfortable and cozy and allows everyone to relax.  What’s more it’s almost always easy to throw a blanket over everything and pile on!  We did images of everyone together, as well as each sibling individually.  It’s so important to me to provide that one on one time with new siblings during newborn photos.  There is something really special about that new bond.  Usually they don’t get alone time with the new baby so I love what I can capture there.  I often even (if they’re old enough) kick mom and dad out while I work with them so the images are a complete surprise!

Later we headed outside as the weather was gorgeous that day.  I always take the chance to do images outside if I can!!  After that, we came back in and it was time for baby Nora to star in the show.  We chose a gorgeous pink blanket and wraps that complimented her coloring in order to do beautiful simple baby images.

Photography in the time of Quarantine

Yup.  Although nothing similar to that story, that title sure feels like where we are right now.  A crazy worldwide pandemic that has basically stopped the world in its tracks.  Everyone staying home and staying safe to help contain the spread of anything further than it has already gone.  One thing that can’t stop, though?  Babies being born and children growing up.  But what CAN’T and ISN’T happening right now for the foreseeable future are the photography sessions capturing those moments.  In a series of posts here on the blog, I am going to share with you some tips and tricks to help you photograph your own babies during this time.  This post talks a bit about how to Photograph your own newborn sessions!  You can see the posts on Fresh 48 Hospital sessions HERE and the post on Baby’s First Year Milestone Sessions HERE

Please realize as with learning anything else, your photos will not look like mine in the end.  I have been doing this for 13 years and have different equipment, knowledge, editing programs, etc.  HOWEVER, no one is able to get professional photos done at this point so ANY are better than none!!  I talk in my class that I teach how important it is to not miss the moments no matter your skill or knowledge level.  And these moments?  They’re definitely big ones.

Newborn Session

Oh newborns.  The sweet tiny babies that we have brought home from the hospital.  They change so very much in those first few weeks and I don’t want you to miss a thing about them while we are all stuck at home.  You’ll find if you read my Fresh 48 post that a lot of this is similar.  The newborn session is a bit more involved but some of the basic tenets are the same.

How to photograph your Fresh 48 Session
the very beginning

Fresh 48 Session

Fresh 48 Sessions are those sessions done right after having the baby in the hospital.  Named Fresh 48 because normally they occur in the first 48 hours after birth.  These days I know some hospitals are trying to release patients earlier than that to get them home BUT these are photos that shouldn’t be skipped if you can help it / feel up to it.  There are so many tiny details in those first few hours that will never ever be the same.  Don’t miss out on them!  Below are my suggestions for how to photograph your Fresh 48 session.

Logan’s Fresh 48 Session | Massachusetts Newborn Photography

Those first few hours and days after your baby is born go by in a blur – I should know because I’ve done it three times.  My memories from that period of time with each of my children are a bit fuzzy but I do remember being just absolutely overwhelmed with feelings of happiness and love (and yes, a bit of sleeplessness as well).  The baby there in the bassinet, the burrito swaddle magic that the L&D nurses could do in their sleep, that sweet newborn smell as I kissed their heads, seeing my husband hold our children…  I remember all of that.  I also remember how very quickly each baby changed.  Even in those first few days, they were so different – they seemed to change by the hours.  Fresh 48 sessions offer a way to document all of those moments for families – those very fresh new baby memories – after your labor and birth, but before a traditional newborn session.  While they are typically done within the first 24-48 hours, sometimes there are extenuating circumstances that push it to third or fourth day.  Either way, it’s absolutely a beautiful way to document everything from those precious beginning days.

Thank you to Courtney and Josh for inviting me into their first few days with Logan…
