The Artful Baby Pregnancy Photography Janette feels it is truly an honor to be able to preserve memories for you at this exceptional moment. This is the time a woman is at her most beautiful. Her body in a sense becomes more hers and less hers. As pregnancy/maternity photographers we see the pregnant body as a.
Newborns are precious miracles. They change our world in a way we never expect. It is a treasure to capture this newborn moment because it is so short lived. Before you know it, two months have passed your little wonder has already changed. It is also probably the most difficult age to capture successfully by a novice.
Janette prefers to wait till a baby is sitting up for this photo session which can be anywhere from 5 months to 12 months. While it is possible to take baby photos before. After a newborn photography session the next session for your child is a baby photography session.
While it is possible to take baby photos before this stage, and certainly the minute your baby is genuinely smiling and laughing is a photo you should take however Janette recognizes that hiring a baby photographer is an investment and feel the best time for this investment is at birth and then at 5-12 months.When a baby is sitting up a much larger variety of baby photographs can be accomplished.

If I could give 10 stars I would ! Janette was fabulous when shooting my 10 day old twins. She is gentle, kind, caring and very clean ! I was nervous having someone around my babies so young but 10 minutes after we met my worries disappeared. My pictures came out beautiful and we couldn't be happier. I would highly recommend Janette and her services!

Having Janette take my photos during my pregnancy was one of the best things I did. The session at her beautiful studio was fun. I had been having a uncomfortable pregnancy and wasn't looking forward to a session that day. However, to my surprise I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Janette and even momentarily forgot that I was not enjoying my bump that day. Janette is a super nice, super sweet and very patient person. I'll be back for sure for my newborn shots.
