I know as a new parent the anxiety and healing process from just giving birth can be pretty overwhelming. This little girl’s parents booked her newborn session with me long before she was born. But when things didn’t go as planned with her birth and her Mama was struggling to heal and recuperate, she reached out to me asking if we could push her newborn session back to when she was closer to 3.5 weeks old. While the ideal time to do newborn photos is within the first 14 days after birth, circumstances happen and sometimes they can’t always be done within this time frame. But just because a baby is a little “older” doesn’t mean all is lost, it’s still possible to get cute newborn style photos, it may just take a little longer and a little more patience. My priority is always first and foremost for mother and baby’s health and comfortability, so of course I quickly assured her that it wouldn’t be an issue.

These parents drove 4 HOURS from Calgary, AB just to do a session with me. I was extremely flattered they drove all that way just to be able to have this experience. On the day of the session this beautiful little girl definitely gave me a run for my money, as she decided to stay awake for almost the entire session. But with a little time and patience we definitely got the shots her Mama was wanting.

Her Mom had sent me a number of photos beforehand while we were planning the session. She wanted a number of neutrals with a very girly feel to them. She also had one shot she really wanted of a very floral set up. I was excited for the challenge and definitely feel like we got all of the inspiration spot on!
