I’m back on the blog! It has been a wild year to say the least! I started blogging again back in February and then … bam … Corona Virus hit in March and put a complete halt to everything! The new norm ~ lifestyle photography with older newborn babies is a thing!
All non-essential businesses were on lock down here in South Florida for a solid two months (between March & May) and sometime in between, I got really sick ~ Covid-19 maybe?! I still don’t know what I had but thankfully I am better than ever :-) I started back up with my photography at the end of May and have had a nice steady flow of newborn, family & maternity sessions ever since!
One of the things that somewhat changed through the photography process was photographing newborn sessions at a much later date! In the past, I typically photographed babies between 1-3 weeks; however, after Covid and because of precautions, some families were opting to wait until 2-3 months of age. I actually don’t mind waiting this long and discovered that the “older newborns” are much more fun to photograph!
*Here’s why?
-They are much more alert & awake and have wide open eyes that seem to stare right into the lens
-They have put on a few pounds so they have those adorable rosy & chunky cheeks :-)
-They are more interactive and react to Mama & Dada’s voice
-They are just starting to smile
Here is my most recent “older newborn” session. Handsome little guy, Nash, is two months old here. He was super alert, looked into the camera a ton with those beautiful pensive eyes & he just loved interacting with his parents. We met at a local park and enjoyed a little sunshine and lots of humidity before the rain came right after our photo shoot! It was great getting to meet and capture this adorable family for the first time <3
