Snap Tip: Show and Tell

I love to photograph newborns. Capturing the serene moments of a baby at rest - snuggled close with soft wispy breaths. Those are the memories most often shared with family and friends. But infants aren't always at rest. As a mother, I can empathize with new parents as they beam with pride and joy as their eyes glaze with exhaustion. As a photographer, I try to capture all of the honest moments which tell the real story for years to come.

SNAP TIP: Don't be afraid to photograph and share the unexpected. Everyone expects to see the photograph of a newborn sleeping so sweetly or a toddler smiling brightly. Strive to snap pictures that will show and tell the entire story and offer a true look at life of your child. It doesn't always have to be glamorous to be album-worthy.
