Days old. Parents, do you remember days old?

A month later, we are still very much in the newborn phase of life, but parents have got a bit more figured out. There are systems for feeding, changing and sleeping. The strange nap-time grunts and zoo like symphonics that were once alarming are now endearing. And even though everyone is sleeping a lot less, the newborn smell still lingers. 4 weeks is a bit of a sweet spot I'd say :).

To be in their space, learn a bit about their lives, witness the emotions that come with the first weeks of parenthood - what a priviledge for a photographer.

When is the best time to photograph a newborn? This little lady was nearing the 2 month mark when we met. She was awake, made lots of eye contact, smiled sometimes, and slept sometimes too. You're not always feeling up to a photo shoot in the couple weeks after the baby is born. It's ok to wait :).
Newborn sessions - all outside - ish | brooklyn newborn photographer
Can it be done? Indeed! Sometimes a session indoors at home doesn't work, it doesn't have enough light, or you're in the middle of major renovations, or you're just not loving your place. We can still capture the early newborn days! This session started with some backyard and front stoop photos and continued with a walk around the neighborhood. It was a bit chilly so we cheated a bit and stopped indoors at a local restaurant that was beaming with natural light. Here's to more time outside with the wee one!
