Happy Mother’s Day {Kalamazoo family photographer}

Happy Mother’s Day to all of my former and future clients, friends and family!!!

Every mother should make it a point to be in the photographs. Whether you hire someone for family photos or hand your camera to your husband, friend, family member, or a stranger, just get your relationship, your moments, your bond captured to be enjoyed for years to come. And don’t forget to pay it forward…when you are out and about at the zoo, in the city, at the lake, etc. and you see a mom taking a photo of her family, ask her if she wants to jump in the photo. (And get those dads with cameras in there too).

I vividly remember the day I was taking some photos of my family on a big rock in Central Park. Two ladies were walking by and offered to take a photo of all four of us. As nervewracking as it was to hand over my camera, I did it and I love having that image of my family. Everytime we went to the park after that (which was many, many times since we were living in Manhattan at the time), I kept my eye open for anyone who needed a kind stranger to help them get into their own family photos. Little did they know that I photograph people as my work and own my own photography business.

To celebrate, I thought I would share a few mom/child images from the past year.

Time is Fleeting {Kalamazoo newborn photographer}

I absolutely LOVE when moms want to capture some images while breastfeeding.  Often it is the second-time moms because they remember how quickly time passed the first time around.  There is a beauty and intimacy to these portraits but even more so, it captures a time in your baby’s life that is fleeting – regardless of whether you breastfeed days, weeks, or years.  It is hard for me to remember the connection, the bond, the peacefulness (once we figured everything out).  Luckily for this mom – she can always glimpse back at these precious moments.

Beautiful Brynn {Kalamazoo newborn photographer}

I had the pleasure of photographing little Miss Brynn right after moving to Kalamazoo.  She was slightly older than most newborns I do but alas, I couldn’t take her photos while I was still in Connecticut.  I am so excited for Annalee, Dan and big brother Miles…Brynn was so sweet and laid back…well, until she had just had enough of me.  Then she was ready to go!

Little Miss Natalie {Kalamazoo newborn photographer}

Miss Natalie was 12 days old when I had a chance to photograph her at her home in Kalamazoo, Michigan.  She is such a beautiful baby with tons of dark hair.  I love her.  She didn’t want to sleep but we worked through it.  She gave me great eye contact – the shot below with her eyes staring right through me might be my new favorite shot of an awake newborn.  I absolutely love how tiny she looks in Dad’s arms.  They do not stay this little forever!!!  I am so happy that I was able to photograph lovely Natalie!
