the baby! \u00a0Yup before you have the baby and you know why?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>When you get home from the hospital the last thing you will\u00a0be thinking about is having your photo taken- you&#8217;re tired, stressed, nervous and let&#8217;s face it not feeling like getting in front of the camera 5 days after giving birth! \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been there and done that and I&#8217;m so glad I put all of those things behind me and had my good friend Nadya come within a week to take photos of our new family of 3 when Logan was born. \u00a0Those first few days may seem like a whirlwind but babies grow so fast and before you know it they are 2 months old and those sleepy newborn days are long gone- insert sad face here! \u00a0You want to make sure you capture those first few days of life for your new baby and family because there is nothing like the emotion you are feeling during that time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>You will\u00a0look back on these images in 10, 20 and 30 years and be so glad you have them to share with your child.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lauren called me just after she had Baby John and luckily I was available the very next day so we got to capture all that newborn sweetness and soak up plenty of cuddle time. \u00a0We had a lovely morning spent in their home so they had every comfort they may need for their baby and daughter. \u00a0It was such a pleasure to capture this time in your lives and I look forward to capturing your sweet as can be\u00a0family over the years!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12847\"
