Why is newborn photography important?

Why is having your newborn photographed important?

Preserves the memory

Wether you have a fresh 48 birth space newborn session, or a newborn session at your home, photographing your newborn in their first few weeks of life preserves the memory of their little new self. You may believe that you could never forget how they looked or felt during those first few weeks, but I can confirm that time goes much faster than you think, and our memory isn’t quite as great as we’d like, particularly when we’re sleep deprived. By capturing photos of you with your newborn during those first few sleep deprived weeks you are preserving the memory of not only what it looked like, but what it felt to hold your newborn baby.

A way to share with friends and family

If you do not live close to your friends and family, having a newborn photography session is an amazing way to share the newborn time with those loved ones. By looking at your newborn photo gallery, they will feel like they were there, sharing in the joy and awe of the newborn time period

The Beginning of Their Story

One could argue that the beginning of ones story can best be documented with photos of them when they were still in the womb with their mohter’s maternity photos…but the true beginning of your child’s story starts with those newborn moments. By hiring a professional photographer to document your newborn’s first weeks, you are starting to tell the story of their life with beautiful high quality photographs, to be treasured for years to come.

Beautiful Art To Decorate Your Home and Nursery

By working with a professional photographer you will also have beautiful heirloom quality artwork to display in your home and in the baby’s nursery to enjoy for years to come. Also, by displaying newborn photos, you are showing your child where they came from, and how they’ve grown, increasing their sense of self over time.
