EVERY TIME. {UTAH NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER}

Every time I do a newborn session, I learn a little bit more. And then, I wish that I could rewind the clock back to when both my boys were newborns so I could capture their sweetness all over again. I didn't know a THING about photography/portraits (well hardly... and I thought I knew so much! ha!) when my first-born entered this world.

Yet, I didn't want to take him to get his pictures taken because I thought he would just cry the whole time (he was very colicky). So, I took his newborn photos myself... and well, I had no clue what I was doing. Yet, I do have a few shots that I cherish from my "so-called" newborn session with him. It's also fun to look back and see how much my photography has grown and evolved. With my second, I knew a lot more about photography and how to work my MUCH improved camera, but I still didn't know a whole lot on posing babies. So again, I have a few images that I absolutely cherish and wouldn't trade for the world...But really, if I could turn back time even for one day, I would capture their innocence all over again with such a different knowledge on how to do so.

I still have so far to go in my learning process and I am so excited to continue to improve my skills with these sweet little models. They are my HARDEST sessions, and yet, often times my most rewarding. I come home exhausted and yet I will tell my hubby that I loved every minute of it:)

There is something magical about a newborn session.

I just used Random.org to generate the contest winners. I wasn't tech savvy enough to copy the "generator" for each chosen, so I've just posted it the old fashioned way below.

Here's the deal....Instead of giving you a random prize, I decide that (first come first serve), those who have won can email me and let me know which prize you would like to win. If no one else has claimed it first, then it is yours! So winners, get back to me quickly to claim your prize! You have 48 hours to claim your prize or another name will be drawn. Thank you and enjoy your goodies!
