Choosing to look forward… Huntsville Newborn Photographer

April 23, 2020

Hey- yeah, so a lot has been going on since I last posted. I don’t feel like I need to tell you what has been going on (COVID-19), but I want to tell you that I’m choosing to look forward from this moment on. I’ve found myself wondering what the future is going to look like, both personally and with my business, like everyone else. I am choosing to hope for a future where I can leave my house and photograph your family in the very near future.

For those of you who have missed your maternity, fresh 48 and newborn sessions because of this, I’m so sorry. I want to tell you not to worry, or be sad or feel that you’ve missed your window. You haven’t! Yes, well, we can’t go back and do a fresh 48 in the hospital, but we can do a newborn session in your home! Your baby is still a baby. While we FEEL like we’ve been in quarantine for years, it’s only been a month (or so). Your baby is still new. They are still adorable and deserve to be photographed!

I’m now accepting bookings from mid-May forward. I feel as though it’s time to look forward and hope for the future. I feel with other states lifting their stay-at-home orders, we will be soon to follow. Now is the time to book!

A question I bet you are asking is how the sessions will be different post COVID-19. Great question. The health and the safety of your babies is always important to me, which is why at every session I:

Wash my hands (a LOT) during our session.
I don’t shoot when I am sick – ever

What I am doing for extra precautions moving forward:

Extra hand sanitizing (and equipment sanitizing, if possible)
Mask worn during our session
Immediate/Cohabitating family members only

An added bonus for your safety is to know that my and I have been in total isolation for 5 solid weeks. As in, we haven’t left the house to go to the store (bless you grocery delivery), we have not once gotten take out or curbside pick up from anyone (I am utterly sick of cooking, yes.). I have not been within 6 feet of anyone but the people living in my house (they’re stage 5 clingers at this point, help). So I may be a little over excited to be at your house when this is all over, you will understand why. I literally haven’t left my house for 5 weeks. At all. I have done this so once this is over, I can rest assured that I am totally safe to be around your family and your newborn.

I am so looking forward to photographing your family! I can’t wait to see you all in the very near (hopefully) future!

Welcome Home, Kellan! | Huntsville Newborn Photographer

March 27, 2020

It has been a very rainy year in Alabama. It was raining on the day I went to Kellan’s house for his newborn photography session. This was one of those rare times where I was happy it was raining! It provided the most interesting and moody, but amazing light! I typically like bright and airy in my photography, but I absolutely loved the way this session turned out. I just followed the light, embraced the shadows, and fell in love with the result.

I was thrilled to see Kellan and his parents again. I had shot their Fresh 48 Hospital session just a few weeks before. They had gotten home and said that they were getting a little bit of sleep, actually! Lucky them! I think they were adjusting well to being new parents. Their house was so pretty and I really loved the modern yet cozy vibe of the nursery as well! Such a beautiful room!

Welcome home, Kellan!

Twin Maternity Photographer | Huntsville, Alabama

March 10, 2020

One of the fun parts of being a photographer is that you get to meet new people and by the end of the session, you feel like friends. This is particularly important when you are hired to photograph a couples’ journey to parenthood. In this case, I am hired to photograph their maternity, fresh 48 and lifestyle newborn. So I meet them three separate times over the course of the 9 months. Each of those sessions, I am allowed to photograph them at a very intimate and vulnerable time of their life. It is important for my clients to be comfortable around me. I tend to walk away from the session feeling like we are friends. I absolutely felt this way with Matt and Aileen. I came home from this session and my husband asked, “how was your session?” I said, “It was great! We are totally friends.”

I am honored to be able to photograph Matt & Aileen’s journey to becoming the parents of twins. Stay tuned for their fresh 48!

Welcome, Kellan! | Huntsville Fresh 48 Newborn Photographer

March 9, 2020

I have said before that Fresh 48 sessions are my favorite sessions. I am saying it again. They’re my favorite!

Fresh 48 sessions are taken at the hospital within the first 48 hours after the baby arrives. They are so amazing! That first 48 hours is such a precious time. You are getting to know that little person that you have waited so long to meet. All the newness of being a parent is contained in that room for a little over 48 hours. From the call buttons, to the ID bracelets to the standard stripes on the newborn blankets- you will want to remember those details. The awe of the nurses ability to swaddle or that moment when you realize that yes, the baby is going to be up all night long. It’s the safe spot just before you go home.

If you’re considering it, do it. You’ll cherish the images one day, I promise.

Baby Daly & Family | Huntsville Maternity Photographer

March 3, 2020

I am thrilled to show you all this maternity session with the Daly family! They are about to welcome their fourth child. Cori had never had maternity portraits with any of her older children. I think it’s a beautiful memory to look back on one day. I think we were both a little concerned about having a session in the mountains in the winter months, but it worked out! We had the most beautiful day! I had the best time with this amazing family and I can’t wait to photograph the new baby during her Fresh 48 session!
