Having a baby is probably the most memorable thing anyone can go through. It's a perfect little creation that you nourished and cared for from the very moment you learned you were pregnant. Whether you have one or multiple children, you can recall the moment you went into labor and the time your baby was born. . . no matter how long ago it may of been.
Once you discover you're pregnant, you spend months preparing for your little one. We do our best to find the perfect doctor and do extensive research on the best baby brands and the safest car seats available. What's the best stroller? Can you get that exact stroller at Under The Almond Trees downtown? What about books to read to them while their brain is developing in your stomach? Blue Bicycle Books on King Street has an impressive selection! You can't forget about the best clothing for them, too! Kids on King has an amazing selection and everything they carry is so adorable! You can definitely find the perfect "coming home" outfit there! Then you move on to one of the most important parts. . . the crib and other essentials! Baby Bloomers has a variety of selection and is a great shop to stop by and browse for everything you'll need in the nursery! You spend months prepping for such a small human to make the perfect home for them. You want comfort, safety, and familiarity all rolled into one perfect room for the baby. You'll be spending many nights and days in there along with your baby who will spend even more time there than you! You may even get a surprise "Stork Drop" from Ellifox Children's Clothing Store before the baby arrives full of goodies!
Then the baby arrives! You're so full of love and awe for this perfect addition to your family! It's time to capture these priceless and fleeting moments before they pass! As you'll discover in the upcoming years . . . children are always growing. Your baby will not be a baby long. They grow so fast and learn so much in the first year, it's almost hard to believe they were ever small enough to fit in your hands. You remember everything perfectly but at the same time it's hard to grasp your baby is already grown. That's why it's so important to capture those moments before they're gone forever. To capture the baby grinning in their sleep. To capture the small toes and the fingers curled around yours. To capture how tiny they are. How perfect they are. This means getting the perfect photographer.
I do love studio photography. I can create so much beauty in my studio and I can dictate how everything runs. It's familiar to me and I've made it a second home for myself. With that being said, like I stated earlier, the baby also has familiar territory. Remember? You spent months making that perfect room for your baby. A perfect home for your baby. It was the first place your baby has ever been besides the hospital. Your baby has slept there, played there, and eaten there. The smells, sounds, and surrounding is familiar to your baby. It's the safe haven. This is why it's the perfect place for their newborn portraits to be taken. You, mom and dad, are comfortable there. You have all the cute outfits from Lowcountry Baby Boutique organized there. You have the rocking chair to sit down and feed your baby should they get hungry. You have the changing table and diaper pail at home. You just gave birth and you don't want to go onto busy roads and fight the car seat just yet. Plus it can either be blistering hot or freezing cold this time of year! It's a lot to travel, even short distances, with a newborn. I get that and that's why I think it's perfect to travel to YOU. Let me worry about the perfect portrait. You just worry about this new addition. You already created the perfect environment for them. This is just the perfect bow that'll tie it all together.
