Bringing baby home | newborn photographer Oahu

I remember clearly what it’s like to have a rambunctious toddler at home when you bring home a new baby. In a word, exhausting. Nothing else tries your patience more. Plus feeling like a sleep-deprived zombie doesn’t help matters. Despite all this, it’s a wonderfully sweet time. The family must expand and adjust to make room for this new tiny human. Throughout the process, you catch a moment, a look, a simple gesture of pure love and what it means to be a family. Catching that connection on camera is such a treasure. It’s the reason I love newborn sessions.

I first met this family for a maternity session months ago and fell in love with the spirited Elena. She was all dimples and sweetness and energy. It was a very different scene as we skipped along the beach at Bellows, played hide-and-seek, and thought up silly baby names. She was a little unsure of the reality of being a big sister, alternating from reluctant to affectionate and snuggly.

Are you expecting a new baby? Let me capture some of the precious first moments as a family before they pass in a sleep-deprived blur. Newborn sessions take place in the ease and comfort of your home while I photograph life as it unfolds. Find out more about my family photography sessions here.
