Everett here is another of J. Love Photography’s little friends who are in our Baby Love program. We photograph babies through their first year, doing three portrait sessions.  Sessions can be created for maternity, newborn, 6 months, one year… you choose! This was Everett’s 6 month session. I love this portait because I can see joy in both of their eyes. It always makes me smile.

As a member of our Baby Love program, you are entitled to discounts on product and portraits. Included in the program price is a beautiful, fine art collage of your baby’s first year that is printed on an archival, gallery-wrapped canvas. We end the first-year session with a birthday party complete with bubbles, a hat, and birthday cake!

We have fun, little costumes for the babies to wear as well. I’m working on getting more little boys outfits, as it’s always easier to find things for little girls. I’ve just added a little pea pod outfit for 0 to 3 months and a teddy bear outfit for one year-olds and up. Many of you have seen the array of tutus I have for little girls as well.

When my little babies toddle off after the year is over, it’s sad for me. I know I will see them again, but it isn’t the same. To watch a newborn grow into a toddler and celebrate their first birthday is a joy I cannot explain. I feel so blessed to capture these moments for their families and them.

Yes, I get peed on, pooped on, thrown up on, and sometimes a baby will cry and cry. It’s much harder on the parents than me. I’m used to it. I’ve had a few sessions where the parents are sure we weren’t able to capture a thing. But good light and quick reactions in the split seconds they take a breath between crying often gives me a perfect image of a baby that delights us all!

And then I get babies, especially the recent pack of little boys I’ve had, who are all smiling, happy babies who just ham it up for me and love every minute of it! I know that a lifetime from now, these images will be passed down in their families and be treasured keepsakes of moments that will never be forgotten. How can I not love what I do? It’s what makes my heart feel so full.

Here is what a recent mom whose son, Karl, recently completed the Baby Love program had to say:

“I am so happy that we found you just in time to memorialize our son’s first year of life!  The images that you took ages 3 weeks, 6 months and 1 year capture Karl’s essence.  When I look back now at these brief moments in time, I am overcome with gratitude for your artistry.  Thank you also for making the photo sessions a fun experience for Karl – he seemed to really enjoy himself!

I also appreciated how quickly you were able to share the images with me and process the order.”

If you know of someone who is pregnant or has a baby and might be interested in capturing those moments by a professional who cares, please share this blog with them! I’ll leave you with a few more images today of Everett being his sunny, little self. Doesn’t it make you smile?
