Welcome, world, to Evelyn, a precious little one from Grove City, Ohio! This blog post is dedicated to capturing the magic of newborn photography, even when those little bundles of joy arrive a touch later than expected. As a Grove City newborn photographer, I specialize in creating beautiful memories for families during this fleeting window of time.
Newborn portraits typically take place when babies are between 5-14 days old. While this timeframe allows for capturing those sleepy poses and curled-up perfection, sometimes life throws a curveball. That’s exactly what happened with Evelyn!
Evelyn’s grandpa, a resident of Grove City, contacted me with a heartwarming offer – a newborn photography session as a gift for his daughter. Knowing the family through my own daughter’s cheerleading connection (Evelyn’s sister, Bella, cheers with my daughter, Olivia!), I simply couldn’t say no. Even though Evelyn was already 39 days old, we decided to move forward, understanding that the typical newborn poses might be a challenge.
During the session, we focused on capturing Evelyn’s beauty in cozy props and swaddles. While there were some initial fussy moments (perfectly normal for a curious baby!), patience and a gentle touch allowed us to capture some truly stunning photographs.
Evelyn’s big sister, Bella, deserves her own shoutout! This smart and sweet girl was a photographer’s dream. Her inquisitive nature and cooperative spirit shone through, and her gorgeous hair with soft curls added another layer of charm to our session.
Evelyn’s session was a beautiful reminder of the power of family and the beauty of unexpected moments. The viewing appointment, filled with excited family members, solidified this sentiment. Knowing they cherished every image brought immense joy to my heart.
Evelyn’s story is a testament to the flexibility of newborn photography. Even if your little one arrives a bit later than expected, there’s still an opportunity to capture their precious newborn moments. As a Grove City newborn photographer, I’m here to create timeless memories for your family, regardless of age.
While I can adapt to slightly older newborns, the ideal window for those classic curled-up poses is still 5-14 days. Contact me today to discuss your newborn photography session and let’s capture the wonder of your Grove City’s newest arrival!
