Family Photography

Sebastian - 5 days old

Looking at photos from my childhood always springs great memories. I try to preserve moments for my boys as well, which is hard when they move so fast! Since I am no professional, I made sure to ask one to do so.  Since Mason was 11 days old, we have been getting photos done every 3 months. From regular studio shoots to on location, each proposes their fair share of issues. We found a great photographer who we trust, and the boys like. That is always a key factor. Joel of Joel Smith Photography has the patience to wait for the moments that count. He has done all of our photos since our wedding. Check  him out!

Mason - 3 months old

When Mason was young, it was simple. He didn’t crawl until 10 months, making some of these shots possible.

Sebastian crawled at 5 months and walked at 10…so his photos are much more candid, just to show we did it.

I felt it was and is very important to continue these packages once Sebastian was born.  As the second born myself, there are tons more photos of my older sister. And I get it. There is more time. Each of her firsts was a first for my parents too. Once I came around, it was old hat. Our photos were more like this.

It’s a good idea to look up photo ideas before you get some done. This goes for any kind of shoot, but I did this before Mason’s newborn photos since I had no idea what to expect. Babycenter has a great list of  50 amazing newborn photos you should take a peek!

I know I said earlier to put down the devices and engage…but make sure they can relive those moments with you through photos or videos.
