Raleigh Family Newborn Photography – The Ivy

I have a lot of blogging to catch up on starting with this sweet family newborn session at home where big brother totally stole the show. He was so adorable and happy to show me around and show off his baby brother who was just so precious and content the entire session. When I arrived at their home, oh my, the ivy in their backyard was just gorgeous! Loved every image from this session and meeting this sweet family!

According to Mom…

What was the first thing you thought when you saw your baby for the first time? Relieved. He was born by emergency c section and I was just so happy to see him blink and hear him breathe.

What was your favorite part of our session? I love having pictures of the family at home in our normal/comfortable environment. And it’s just so much easier to manage a newborn and toddler at home with their own toys.

How did you prepare the baby for our photoshoot? No prep was required, which is absolutely the very best part. Becky showed up and worked around the mood/vibe/enthusiasm.

How was your experience having your newborn photographed? Were you nervous or worried before? I was nervous before, since you’re making a big investment you want to get a good outcome but Becky was great with our older son and put me at ease by reassuring me that there was no rush and she would work with us. No rush, no pressure, exactly what you want.

What would be your advice to someone getting newborn photographs taken? Try to relax and enjoy the fun. Also, try to think of special items/locations/outfits that you want to have in the pictures.

Did you have a sentimental item at our session? We had a rocking chair in a few pictures that was handmade and has been passed down for 3 generations.

Do you have other children? How did they react to the baby? Our older son has reacted well to the new baby. No cute stories yet, hoping to have many in the future.

How would you describe your perfect Saturday as a family? A hike, a picnic and then a good long nap for everyone.:)

Any advice to other families picking our wardrobe or preparing for family portraits? When our first son was born I was just wearing yoga pants and a t shirt, this time I put a little more thought and just tried to find something comfortable and simple.
