Why are Newborn Sessions So Important? | Chesapeake, Virginia | Jess Nicole Photography

Hey mama, I know that lots of things are changing for you and I'm almost sorry to say, it's never going to stop. Lots of things are going on in your life and your body- and it will never quite be the same. 
But that's okay. This is a good thing...a bittersweet thing. This little baby you're growing inside of you is just going to grow and grow and grow. The days will seem so long, but the years will seem so short. 
Don't blink. 
​Just hold on a little longer. 

I'm here to help you hold on to these days. 
I know that these upcoming days will seem to drag on and that is only augmented by the fact that you're not sleeping much. You'll be fueled by a bit of caffeine, endorphins, and love. 
You'll eventually look back on them with a romantic sort of haze. It's only natural. Biologically, our brains only want to remember a few things here and there because it is such a difficult process. 
​But I'm here to help. 

I'm here so that I can come to you. I'm here so that I can make a beautiful record of your time spent with your newborn babe. I'm coming to your home so that you don't have to do anything. All I need is you and your little family. I'll take care of the rest. 
Feed your baby. Cuddle your baby. Kiss your baby. Lay in bed with your baby. Rock your baby. Give baby a bath. Be skin to skin with baby. Wrap baby up in their swaddle. 
Whatever it is you do, that's what I will photograph. 
That way, you can look back at your photos and see how it really was. 

Newborn photos are important because you'll be able to remember clearly through the haze.
They are important because every single day, they change. And trust me when I say, the changes will happen so fast it will take your breath away.
Newborn photos are important because it celebrates a new life brought into this world. 
Newborn photography is important because you are so busy caring for your baby (and doing such a wonderful job), that photos may get put on the backburner. And if you're the one taking the photos...who's taking photos of you? How will you see yourself in this most important role?
Newborn photos are so important because one day, this little one may grow up to be a parent too. And one day, they may want to look back and see how much they were loved and what good hands they were in- possibly giving them the comfort and the courage to be the best parent they can be too.
