When I walked into the home of this lovely new family of three for my home visit and session planning meeting, it was so relaxed. I love these meetings as it gives me an opportunity to check out the rooms and natural light, but it also gives me a little peek into the family's life. Being a visual person, this allows ideas to start percolating in my mind on how the flow of the session may unfold. I enjoy chatting about wardrobe options and about what their goals are for the session.
My Newborn sessions are a lifestyle approach but this does not mean that I am not going to give some direction and guidance. I'll have my families sit or stand in the beautiful natural light locations within their home and I'll give them some suggestions, but as we work through the session, much of their movements and interactions become quite natural, as they respond to the needs, emotions, and expressions of their new babe. I think of myself as an "in the moment photographer" ... I do not walk into a session with a grand plan. I have a general framework in mind and then we "hang out" :) On this morning, we were not originally including the bedroom in the shoot, but then I thought it would be so nice to do some photos on the master bed, so we grabbed some big pillows from the nursery, used the sheet instead of the comforter for a more neutral look, and I am so glad we decided to capture these :)
I had such a wonderful morning with this family and am so in love with their gorgeous images!
If you have any questions about me Newborn Sessions or any of my other Sessions, I am always open to answering questions and would be happy to connect and chat over a coffee or tea :)
Much love from Welcome Arms,
Mandy
