If I'm being completely honest with you, hospital photography sessions are hands down my absolute favorite. How could it not be? Just hours before, mom and dad were experiencing a moment so near to heaven that gratitude, humility, and joy are so present it is palpable. And now laying before me a glowing mother, an angelic new life, and (since we're being honest here) a nervous, yet proud father ready to protect these two with his life. It is a unique experience that I treasure. Welcome little sunshine.
mama and her girls | newborn family photography stow
This is my favorite kind of photography. I love a newborn session with a setting in 'real life' and not strictly a studio set-up. It allows for truly authentic and priceless moments that the whole family can cherish forever. This beautiful mama started a tradition of reading a favorite book with her oldest daughter and wanted to continue the tradition with the family's newest addition. I had never read "I Love You More" before, and I'd be lying if I said it didn't jerk a tear. Such sweet and tender moments.
