Sorry I missed a couple Thursdays… clients do have to come first and I have been busy with sessions and editing!!! Just wanted to share a shot of me taken at the very end of a session by my client (thank you Missy!). I wanted to show you how I look at the end of a session. Comfort is a big thing for me when photographing newborns- for me and for them. I dress like I am going to a yoga class…. a HOT yoga class actually! I feel the more comfortable I am, the better my energy, the better the baby will react with/for me. It may sound all hippy-ish, but I believe newborns pick up our energy. If you are uncomfortable, nervous, rushed, scared- they feel that and your I believe the resulting work will suffer. If you are confident, relaxed, comfortable- they will feel that too and it will help things go smoother! Once I stopped trying to be all cute for my newborn sessions, something changed/clicked/worked. I wear minimal makeup (I will sweat it off anyways since I like it to be around 80 degrees) and literally wear yoga clothes. Now 80 degrees is not comfortable for me- but the newbies like it since they are in their birthday suites the majority of the session.
So here I am- post session. Shiny and sweaty with flokati fuzz on my pants and a little baby poo on my shirt. Typical and I love every second of it 🙂
