There’s something so sacred about a newborn session—those tiny fingers, the softest wisps of hair, the way a baby curls up so perfectly, still remembering the warmth of the womb. Little Langelihle’s session was one of those moments where time seemed to stand still.
His name, Langelihle, means beautiful day, and that’s exactly what his session felt like—a quiet, beautiful moment in time, filled with peace and tenderness. As he slept soundly, wrapped in soft fabrics, I couldn’t help but think of the incredible journey ahead of him. One day, he will outgrow his tiny fingers and toes, but these images will always hold the memory of how small, how loved, and how perfect he was in his very first days.
Choosing the Right Newborn Photographer
Newborn photography is more than just taking pictures—it’s about preserving a fleeting moment, creating images that will be cherished for a lifetime. Here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing a newborn photographer:
1. Safety First
Your baby’s comfort and safety should always be the top priority. A professional newborn photographer should know how to handle and pose newborns safely while ensuring a relaxed and gentle experience.
2. Experience & Style
Every photographer has a unique style—some prefer soft, natural light and dreamy pastels, while others lean toward bold and artistic setups. Take a look at their portfolio to see if their style resonates with you.
3. Patience & Flexibility
Newborn sessions can be unpredictable! Babies may need extra time to settle, feed, or simply be comforted. Choosing a photographer who is patient and understands the delicate rhythm of newborns makes all the difference.
4. A Meaningful Experience
These first days go by so quickly, and your newborn session should be a beautiful experience, not just a task to check off. Find someone who creates a calm, loving space—one where you can pause, breathe, and soak in the magic of your baby’s early days.
As baby Langelihle’s session came to an end, I felt so grateful to be able to capture these moments for his family. One day, these photographs will serve as a time capsule, bringing his loved ones back to these tender first days of his life. They will remember how tiny he was, how peacefully he slept, and how his presence made every day feel more beautiful.
If you’re expecting a little one or looking for the perfect gift for an expecting family, a newborn session is one of the most meaningful investments you can make.
