Finn's newborn session was unique for several reasons. I photographed his birth two weeks before his newborn session. That in and of itself was incredible. He'd already grown and changed so much. Finn is also the 4th little guy in his family, his family is the first for whom I've done four newborn sessions). I loved both of those continuity pieces, of capturing the moments he arrived alongside his "newborn-y" newborn photos as well as having seen four brand new babies expand the love a family has to share. Additionally, Finn was the very first newborn I photographed in my brand new Bishop Arts studio space. This space will primarily be used for photographing newborns and babies, as it has great natural light (so expectant mamas, get in touch!!). I will continue to offer lifestyle, in-home newborn sessions, but this option is great for families who'd like an alternative location.
Finn snoozed and cuddled and curled and barely cried as we did his session. His mama, an old friend, and I managed to catch up on life as we did the photos. Speaking of his mama, isn't she beautiful? She has such grace and poise. We didn't do a full family session for Finn's newborn photos, but I love the photos of mother and son together. I hope you enjoy viewing these photographs of Finn as much as I enjoyed taking them. He is a love, and the world is better for having him in it.
I will also use the space for some family and Honey and Salt projects as well, however, this is a blog about Finn, so we'll save that info for a future post. In the meantime, Finn...
