Newborn photography usually brings the words fragile, family memories, and innocence to mind. Since newborns do not move much in their first few months, we must consider a these 3 things:
1. Pose Them!
Newborns do not pose, they somewhat just sleep most of the time. So you need to do most of the posing for them. You can tell the difference between the image above and this next image. Notice how they are both bird’s eye view portraits, however, the poses do make a difference in the feel of the images.
2. Keep on shooting!
This works best if time is an issue and if parents do not mind that you continue shooting. Newborns tend to have their own timetable and needs. During this photo shoot, the newborn wanted to feed and in this case I threw a black sheet over mom and baby and with the help of a pillow and mom’s sister we managed to snap a few pics of mom and baby peeking out of the blanket. I am sure this worked out mainly because I am a mom myself, but if the parents and baby need their time – GIVE IT TO THEM!
3. Be creative!
We need to be creative and plan ahead in case nature calls! Have fun props that we can use to hide diapers. Also try getting back-up disposable changing pads ready for the newborns in case certain fluids come out while they are being changed from one prop to another.

A wedding is a special time in every woman’s life. She dreams about her big wedding day ever since she was a little girl. When you were little, you remember on a bright spring day you would see a beautiful butterfly flying around and you would sit and day dream about your future and what it will bring. There is simply something magical about seeing a beautiful butterfly fluttering before you. We choose to believe that a butterfly signifies good luck. So if you are sentimental and perhaps a tad superstitious (and goodness knows most brides are) we recommend incorporating the butterfly into your wedding theme. And whether or not a butterfly can bring you good luck and marital bliss is still up in the air, but it certainly can’t hurt! When you think of butterflies, most people automatically think of warm weather and fragrant flowers. What better way to celebrate a spring or summer affair than with beautiful butterfly invitations, wedding favors, bridal bouquets, table settings, cake servers, wedding invitations, wedding cake or even have a live butterfly release when you are named ‘man and wife’. Butterflies symbolize the beginning of new life, and you can carry that theme through your event. Create that special day that you will treasure for a lifetime.

Painting and decorating her bedroom or nursery walls made simple ……. So you want to paint your little girls bedroom something cute and in her favorite colors? A simple and easy way to do this, is have her pick her 2 favorite colors that compliment nicely together. Or you can also pick colors from her bedding. For example choose pink and purple paint as every girl loves those colors. To paint her walls in a creative and original way, paint the top 3/4 of the wall one color (for example purple), then paint the lower 1/4 of the wall the other color (for example pink). Then to divide her newly two-tone painted walls, simply get some white (or any other contrasting color) acrylic craft paint and get a round stencil brush and dry paint (pound the brush to the wall, not brush stroke painting) a strip between the two colors. To add sparkle to the room, simply add some glitter spray (or glitter paint) to the walls on the white strip that divides her two wall colors.
Then decorate her room, add some butterflies or dragonflies to her walls or ceiling. Make a magical garden themed bedroom or a fairy princess resort by adding a few fluttering butterflies that easily attach to the ceiling or walls. with the included fishing line and hoop. You can finish offer her room also by using some daisy flowers that coordinate with her room colors and also sprinkle some mini bees or ladybugs on the walls , lampshades, canopies, bed posts, curtains, desk, or wall mirrors for a little delicate touch of whimsy.
