Okay, so this blog is WAY over due, but it's up here now! lol Baby "P" was born on Saint Patirck's Day. How awesome is that? I'm Irish, my mom's b-day is the 17th of March, I love clovers, and this family is Irish! How perfect is this?!
This awesome family weren't my clients in the beginning. You see, when you're a part of a fantastic community of photographers, we help each other out. My friend had a "Fresh 48" scheduled with them. Well, so happens there was a hiccup and baby came early and my friend was still outta town. SHARI TO THE RESCUE! No, I mean, it wasn't that dramatic. But I did leap at the opportunity to do my version, FIRST 48 with them! And so glad my friend called me. This family was awesome.
In many ways, they reminded me of my second child and how brother (even though much older than theirs) reacted to baby brother. How mom and dad handled a little meltdown. How big brother was more interested in gadgets around the hospital room. I mean. It was perfect.
Big brother also got a fantastic present after meeting his little brother... a Transformer!!! He was super excited to play with it ... I mean, baby brother is fun and all, but all he does is sleep. ;)
First 48's are super awesome and are treated sorta like military homecomings because they're unpredictable. I mean, this session was a perfect example for that. An early date and another photographer's clients became mine! LOL
When I saw the clover outfit ... I KNEW we had to get that precious little bundle of joy in that outfit! I mean come on! How cute is he?!?!
I do birth photography and First 48 sessions. It's all up to you.
Birth Photography - Starts at $525- Includes me being on call for the birth up to 2 weeks before due date and 2 weeks after, coverage of the entire birthing process, a slide show put to music, and 20 - 30 edited portraits on a CD/thumbdrive and an online gallery for viewing/ordering for 14 days. If outside the Fayetteville/Fort Bragg area a travel fee will be added to the session fee. Albums and other products can be added to package.- The First 48 - This session can be added to your birth package ($85 extra) or can be bought alone ($155). This includes me coming to the hospital or your home to capture the first moments of baby's life. It can be of you guys in the hospital meeting family, learning to nurse, cuddling with baby, meeting family; it can be taking baby home, meeting the pets, showing off the nursery, special moments between siblings; or it can be a relaxed family shoot in your home as you all adjust to the first 48 hours of baby's life. Includes up to an hour in front of camera, 20 - 30 edited portraits for online viewing/ordering for 14 days. If outside the Fayetteville/Fort Bragg area a travel fee will be added to the session fee. These pictures can be added to album and other products that are bought with birth session.
If your interested in booking any of these sessions, please call or email and let's set up a time to meet and chat! Birth photography is such a personal session that we need to make sure we are a good match and that we are comfortable with each other. Same for First 48 sessions. Even though this session was spur of the moment, I would like to get to know you prior to walking in at the hospital or your home. I want to know if the nursery is made up yet. I want to know names if you've picked them. If you're adding your pets, I want to meet them! You know, I wanna treat you to your favorite drink at a coffee shop and sit and gossip like two old friends! True Southern Style!
