Baby and Childrens Photos
They are only young once!Babies grow up quickly; it's important to capture the happiness and beauty of your child as he or she grows from day to day. If you just had a newborn you know how surreal that moment was. It was no longer just "the two of you". And let's face it, you are probably a little tired. With all the new jobs you have taken on, photography sometimes takes a back seat to more important jobs like feeding and changing diapers. Yet, these pictures are what most mom's and dad's have been imagining since they found out they were pregnant.
By bringing professional studio lighting and backdrops into the comfort or your home, Jamie makes capturing this amazing time in your baby’s life easy and fun. The relaxed sessions usually last about 90-120 minutes. During the photo shoot, the parents primary “job” is simple...love your baby and leave the rest to Jamie! Newborn sessions are best photographed within the first 14 days when they are still so tiny.But your baby may be photographed up to the first month and still be able to capture that special new look.
Tips for getting great pictures
Be aware of your baby's mood - Try not to plan a photo session when you know your baby is usually cranky or crying.
When does your baby feed - Plan your photo session right after you are done feeding. Babies are usually in a good mood then.
Get rid of any distractions - TV, people, moving objects can all distract your baby.
Nap time - Plan around nap time.
Props - Bring some of your favorite little toys or objects out to add to the photo shoot. Even mom & dad make good props in pictures!
Tips for getting great Family Pictures
Get a good nights sleep the day before you take the pictures to look your best.
Eat a light meal a couple hours before your photo shoot to avoid getting hungry or fatigued.
Coordinate clothing. You don't have to be "matchy, matchy", but complimentary colors do look good together.
Be yourself. Dress how you normally would in a casually nice outfit.
Wear comfortable clothing that you can stand, sit, and lay on the ground in.
Dress in solid colors, preferably earth tones (e.g. greens, browns, blues)
Black or dark clothes will make you appear "thinner", while white or light colored clothing will not.
Don't wear lots of shiny makeup as it will make you appear shiny.
Try to avoid wearing glasses if you can. It can be challenging trying to eliminate glare at times. If you like your glasses remove the lenses.
Location, location, location! It is up to you where you want your family pictures taken at. When considering where to take them think aboutwhat will compliment your family
