A Beautiful Birth | Baby Photographer, Salem Oregon

Robin — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 02:12:32 +0000

I had the wonderful honor of photographing a beautiful birth of a gorgeous little girl, Eliza June, on July 18, 2010. Annie Manning of Paint the Moon Photography, asked me to be there for the birth of her and Scott’s 2nd baby girl. I was thrilled to oblige! What an experience for me! This was my first birth session and I can’t tell you how exciting it is to witness a miracle. Watching the love and connection Annie & Scott have for their little baby girl, and darling 4 yr old Addie, is incredible.

The moments I’ll remember…..

Addie was present during the birth and was right there holding her mommy’s hand the entire time.

Daddy was waiting eagerly ready to catch baby Eliza as she made her entrance in this big, beautiful world….

…and the moment when Daddy put on baby Eliza’s first nappy!

The sweet little hand of Addie’s that held her baby sister’s foot for the first time….

…and the look on Mommy’s face when Eliza was placed on her chest.

I can’t thank you both enough for allowing me to be there during this special moment in your lives. Thank you guys!!! xoxoxo

When I say “itty bitty”….I mean ITTY BITTY!! Landon came into the studio @ 11 days old and only 5lbs! He slept and was such a good baby the entire time! I’d have to say he gets his beauty from his mommy..isn’t she beautiful?

Landon loved this position…can you tell by the BIG SMILE on his face? ….hahaha…

Schedule Early! | Newborn Baby Photographer, Salem Oregon

Robin — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 20:27:25 +0000

When deciding to have your baby’s newborn portraits taken by a Professional Baby Photographer, schedule early! In fact, when you are pregnant is the BEST time to call and schedule. This will ensure that you can get your baby in to the studio when he/she is around 5-8 days old. This is the time I love to capture newborns….when they still love to sleep long and don’t mind being moved around….the time to capture those squishy, curly poses. Don’t wait until after your baby arrives! If you do, there is a good chance you won’t be able to get in until they are past this timeframe. Dates fill up quickly, so don’t wait, schedule your newborn session as soon as possible.

Check out this wonderful family! Aren’t they so cute! The Rabe Family came to the studio for a Newborn session of their darling new baby girl, Chelsea. Chelsea was 7 days old and such a little gem. She slept the entire time and was quite the little wiggly worm. I was amazed at all her hair! Big Brother Vincent, and Big Sisters Aubrie and Ashley were so helpful and loving to their new little baby sister.

I had a great time with you all! You have a beautiful family….enjoy your sneak peek!

Why should you hire a Professional Baby Photographer? | Baby Photographer, Salem, Oregon

Robin — Fri, 28 May 2010 03:52:10 +0000

With the digital world these days, it’s so easy for anyone to pick up a digital camera and snap a few photos of their cute kids. Custom Photography is a luxury…but so is an HDTV…or an iphone, or a cruise. Hiring a professional photographer to capture the moments in your baby’s life will be something you will treasure a lifetime. In five years that new TV will need to be replaced. It will fall apart. They’re not meant to last a lifetime. Professional Portraits are. I have heirloom portraits of my great grandparents. Portraits are something you will pass on through generations.

Baby photographers are very experienced in what they do. That’s why we specialize in this area. We know how to comfort and soothe your baby. How to get them in those curly, squishy little poses that you all love so much!

I can’t tell you how many times I have clients come to me when their babies are 2 and 3 months old saying “I wish I had known there was an option for me to have a professional baby photographer capture my baby when they were still a newborn!” I sympathize with these moms, because sometimes they are just heartbroken. Not everyone knows this is available to them. Custom photography is something you should plan for, invest in, and start early while you are still pregnant. Just like you plan for a vacation…plan your baby’s first year photography sessions.

I offer theBABY LIFE PLAN to all my clients. That first year is a special time and you don’t want to miss all those first moments that will soon be gone. At 3 months when they begin holding their head up….6 months when they have learned to sit on their own…and finally at that one year stage when they can stand alone. In that first year alone they have grown and changed so much from a tiny little newborn you held in your arms. Believe me, you’re going to want to remember those, and an heirloom wall portrait or a special album will keep those times close to your heart.

Cherish the Moments…..

Adorable little baby Madelynn decided she wanted to come into the world a week early! Such a tiny little thing, only 7 days old, and she slept almost the entire session. Boy does she like to poo and pee too, let me tell ya! I think she got all the blankets except one! haha…oh but you just gotta love the little thing. She is so sweet and oh how I loved holding her. Her big brother Riley just adores her! Thanks Jenni & Randy for allowing me to be a part of these special moments with you.

Darling little Rylan came in to the studio at 5 days old. I think she is the only baby I have ever known that was born on her EXACT due date! I think mommy sure was happy!

Rylan brought along her mommy, 2 Grandmas and 1 Great Grandma with her! Boy did they all have so much fun watching Rylan be the star of her photo session. She was so great…slept practically the entire time!
