It’s no secret that I am completely head-over-heels in love with photographing newborns. The feeling I get with each and every newborn session is indescribable. For a long time, I would photograph these precious little creatures, edit their images and then send their galleries off to their parents without being able to experience their reactions to seeing the photos of their little ones. One day, while I was editing a gallery, I realized how much this saddened me. I wanted to be a part of this process! So I decided to scrap the online gallery and start presenting these photos to my clients in person. My clients have LOVED it and the response to this has been amazing. I begin each in-person viewing appointment with a slideshow of all of the edited images from their gallery. These slideshows are personalized and include details of their new little one. With so much emphasis on digital these days, what could be better than a digital birth announcement showcasing all of the images from your baby’s session along with their birth stats? Here is a shortened and modified example of what my clients will see when they view their photos for the first time. I call it, the Newborn Experience. Enjoy!
