Before and After: Maternity and newborn photography

One of the more interesting things that I do in this field is maternity/newborn photography. Many times, I am called to shoot an event with which I am VERY familiar with and that's the case with this kind of photography. I have come to really enjoy working with mothers and then their newborns.

But that wasn't always the case! I was never sure how to pose kids and/or mothers to get the best shot.  However slowly but surely I developed my own style and what became very true was that it was more important to show how happy the parents were in that moment. As a father, I look back at the months leading up to and just after my daughter's birth and if not for pictures, things would be a BLUR! I keep that in mind when shooting these paired shoots. so much happens so quickly that it's important to have pictures that tell the story of the exact emotions of that period. I hope I captured that.

I would like to share a couple of my favorite "Before and After" shoots. Enjoy!

Until the next frame...staying in focus!
