New Born Ervin

 

New born life style shoots have turned into one of my favorite things! The moments that mom + dad can just stare at the human they just created! Doing a lifestyle shoot at home is best in my option, they have the comfort for not leaving their house and the space is theirs to feel most comfortable! This lady right above was my nanny for two summers growing up! I think it is so great to see her become a mom again + capture those first few days. Though I am NO expert on new born photography, I know the first 10 days are important for shooting, that way they sleep A LOT and are easy to place :) 

While shooting newborns, its also best to keep a color scheme as well! It helps with making the photos bright + airy which is the type of photography I am striving to work my best at! Another trick is to be in the room with the best natural lighting! Usually it would be a bedroom or the living room. That extra light is SO helping when capturing the photos. 

This blog I want to be an outlet of suggestions + tips that I have learned and that have helped me be successful! I am very proud of myself for how far I have come and can not wait to see where this journey takes me.

Summer Family Shoot

               

I have had the privilege of knowing this family for 3 years now! It has been such a joy seeing the kids grow + become my friends too! This family is so beautiful and I admire the love they have for one another. We took the photos at a beautiful state park! The not so funny part about this is we didn't know we needed to walk a mile each way to get there!! Defiantly a memory my feet wont forget as I wore the wrong shoes!! I guess you can say I learn a lesson with each shoot I do!! The railroad tracks were perfect + we had a great night for light! The sisters are true best friends, though 2 years apart I believe they could pull off the whole twin look for sure! 

As we are wrapping up the summer months, which makes me so sad, I can't but be excited about all the shoots I have left to do! I am so eager to shoot and get to know my camera more and more! My hope is that I can take all their senior photos in the years to come :)

XOXO
