Your time is so precious as a new mom. I want you to spend that time with your sweet baby. There’s a time and place for DIY, but a milestone session isn’t one of them. You can find lots of articles and YouTube videos on how to create a space in your home, but that will take you hours to teach yourself and prep. I’d hate for you to take all that time and not be happy with the results. This is the perfect opportunity to trust a professional to capture this important milestone. I’d love to share six reasons why you shouldn’t DIY your baby’s six-month session.

Long before I pick up my camera, you and I dream about your future portraits and how we’ll lovingly display them in your home. My booking process is about building the foundation for a long-lasting partnership. I’d love to share Reflection’s 4-Part Booking Process with you. This way, you’ll know exactly what to expect after you hit “send”!

Your toddler is not only welcome to your newborn photoshoot, but they make the day really special. They bring big, loving energy and joy to the session. Plus, your toddler is now a big brother, so we want him to be part of this celebratory moment for your family.

Not being photogenic is actually a good thing. Have you ever looked at someone else’s beautiful maternity photos and thought, “Wow, well, she’s very photogenic, and I’m just not.” The truth is that she probably felt the exact same way before her photo session. I hear from mamas (and their partners) all the time that they would love to have professional maternity portraits taken but worry that they’re not photogenic enough.

Does your husband dread family photos? He’s far from alone. I believe your husband can truly enjoy the portrait process and actually have fun during it. I believe it because I’ve seen it happen over and over again during my portrait sessions. Here’s how we make sure your husband enjoys the full-service portrait process from start to finish.

If your baby is approaching one, you may be thinking about their first-year portrait session. Should you do a cake smash? What should you wear? What do you need to do? I’d love to answer all of these questions and more while we admire the beautiful birthday girl Navy and her mom.
