If you have been to Sturdy Memorial Hospital to have a baby, chances are that you have seen my photos. I have a lovely display of images all over the walls of the labor and delivery floor. It is one of my favorite things that I have done in all of my years of being a newborn photographer in Rhode Island and Massachusetts!! When dad, who worked at Sturdy, saw my images, he knew they wanted me to come for photos in their home after the baby was born since visitors were not yet allowed in the hospitals. It wasn’t quite a newborn session, but it wasn’t quite a Fresh 48 either. It was a gorgeous mix of the two.
Sweet Naya was just a few days old when I met her at their house. We did all of the images right there in their nursery. It was essentially recreating the hospital room in a FAR more comfortable environment. If I could, I would do so many of these sessions and call them “welcome home” sessions. I could get all of the small brand new details – fingers, toes, wrinkles. All of my favorite parts of the Fresh 48, but with the touches of the traditional newborn. It really was the best of both worlds.
Don’t let this amazing time in your life go by without documenting it. Contact me today to book your Fresh 48 and newborn photos.
Ahh maternity sessions. I love love love maternity sessions, especially if I know I will also be photographing the newborn session. Don’t get me wrong – of course I love all my mamas. However, it’s even cooler to know that I will be there for the “after” too.
When mom contacted me to book a maternity and newborn session I was already excited. But then when I got to their house and they mentioned heading over to “the little island” on their boat I was IN. I am not a boat person. Never have been. Where we are in Cumberland it’s about an hour to the water. While it may be true that we are the “ocean state” it’s only ocean on the border. So the opportunity to get on boats doesn’t really happen. In any event they said boat and I said “yessss!”
We crossed the water to this beautiful little empty private island and thankfully I did not die climbing out of the boat. After that we were able to meander around and take advantage of the different sides of the island and all of the beautiful sun. Each side provided a very different look to the images. With this in mind we got both backlit soft and hazy, and direct rich golden images.
Once I had gotten enough images to make us happy, we took back off in the boat and they took me on a tour of Wickford harbor! We sailed (motored?) up and down and eventually set to drift for a bit so I could get some images on the boat itself. After that we headed back to the house where mom changed into a different outfit to end with some stunning sunset sky photos on their backyard dock. It was a gorgeous fun time, to be repeated when I went back in a few weeks for their newborn session. But more on that later 😉
