What is Lifestyle Newborn Photography to me?  It falls somewhere between soft, artistic photojournalism and harsh, realistic documentation—- parallel almost to an old grainy Polaroid.  It’s the type of photo that has life to it and captures a monumental moment.  Lifestyle is raw and real and possibly my favorite portrait style to shoot.

As more years of my adulthood pass, more and more of my friends are having babies.  I love to visit in the hospital and bring hot meals (courtesy of Wegmans) and see my friends become parents.  It’s really quite amazing!  For the last 3 years Kate and Dan have been amazing parent’s to their son Henry, and when they announced in early winter that they were expecting again, I’m pretty sure I was most excited for Henry.  Having a sibling is pretty awesome.  Gosh, there is nothing sweeter than seeing Henry’s practically baby toes as he cuddles his baby brother.

A lot has changed in 3 years since I did Henry’s newborn session (for starters, I no longer do posed newborn), but I’m so glad I have been able to photograph each Stedjan Baby Boy so far (there’s a soccer team coming, right?).
