Newborn Portraits | Charlotte NC Baby Photographer

Newborn portraits can easily be done at home.  Photographers who are experienced in this type of on-location photography will bring all the needed equipment to you.  That’s right!  You can stay home and keep all the baby’s stuff (sidenote: how can something so small require so much stuff?) at arm’s length.  That’s exactly what we did for this precious baby boy and his loving, welcoming family.  I feel like a part of it already . . . though they may only claim me as a very distant cousin.  He was welcomed into the world by his parents, grandparents and siblings, and then just a few days later, they all welcomed me too 🙂

Grandpa assisted with set up, grandma laid out clothing options and the siblings gave me their best posing ideas.  We had so much fun … all while Baby Bradley slept and let us capture these precious newborn moments.  I am so thankful for clients who recommend and refer me.  They allow me to meet amazing families like this one.  Baby Bradley is a lucky boy.  Here are his newborn portraits and some behind the scenes shots from grandpa.  It’s never too early to start planning your newborn session.

Grandpa took the action shots below with his iPhone.  LOVE him!  I didn’t even know he was snapping so these were such a great surprise.  I never get to see the sessions from this perspective. Thank you Mr. W!

Welcome to my blog! I’m a child and family photographer based in Charlotte NC.

 

Parents always ask, “what if my kid doesn’t listen?” My answer: that’s actually perfect. Don’t tell your children I said so, but personalities shine when listening ears fail. I welcome the silly. I want the giggles. I watch for honest smiles, real connections and stolen family moments.

 

This applies to your big kids and high school seniors too. Wink, Wink.
