Then comes marriage, then comes … babies! Lots and lots and lots of babies! Let me tell you, my wedding clients are getting really good in the baby making department these days. It seems every few weeks, I get an e-mail or a phone call from another bride with the exciting news. I love watching their families grow. And grow, and grow. Here are a few that are new parents or going to be welcoming their first little bundle this summer or fall, and I couldn’t be more excited for them.
So this brings me to the point of this post. Will I shoot their newborns? Noooo way. Even if they beg? Nope. Even if chocolate is offered as a bribe? Ok, maybe. I’m joking about that last one. The reality is I am not a newborn photographer. I do shoot kids portraiture, which I do love and makes my heart happy. And I also shoot maternity for my existing clients. But I shot a handful of newborns when I first started shooting and I was not very good at it. Seriously, guys. There are photographers out there who are amazing at it. And I because I always make sure that my clients are well cared for, I have a few that I absolutely love and am quick to recommend when I get the exciting news.
There are so many wonderful newborn photographers out there. These are two who I adore. I love their work, and I can’t say enough good things about them as friends and fellow artists. They have very different styles, which is great depending on what you’re looking for. First up, Erin. I mentored Erin last year and we worked closely on a few shoots as well. She shoots some of the most beautiful lifestyle newborn right in her client’s homes and she just had a newborn of her own a few weeks ago! Here’s a little more about her & her work:
E Schmidt Photography features Newborn Lifestyle Photography! What is Lifestyle photography? It’s you, your family, and your newest addition just as you are; joyful, gorgeous and beaming with love. It is a more relaxed session that features your family in your home in a natural way; just the way you’ll remember it. The moments after bringing home a new baby are such a special time and I love documenting the beautiful bond a new little life has with their family. These are your moments and memories; captured.

And then there’s Lorree. Lorree has shot some of my former clients and also some of my very best friend’s newborns. She works out of a beautiful studio in the Downriver area and she is incredible to work with. A hard working mom herself, Lorree has such a great eye and a creative side when it comes to props & setups. Here’s a peek at her work:
