Mom & Baby’s First Newborn Portraits

Houston newborn portrait photographers, Belly to Baby Studios, recently captured this tender moment between a Mom and her newborn son: Mom & Baby’s first newborn portraits. He was only 12 days old at the time this portrait was taken. We just completed Thomas’ newborn session and I asked his Mom if she would like to take a few photos with her son; just the two of them. She agreed and as I was talking with her during the session, this moment happened. I always encourage Moms to just take a few photos with their baby while they are so little. Of course, most of the time, all Moms tell me how tired they are, and how they don’t feel like getting in front of a camera especially after just delivering a baby. I get it, I was at that stage also and also felt the same way…tired, exhausted and hormones going crazy. But as time goes on we all are busy and we will never get this time back, nor will our babies be this small and tiny in our arms. Time goes fast and our memories of moments and details will fade. The best way to preserve those memories is through a photograph.

Houston Newborn and Family Photographer

Houston newborn and family photographer, Lisa Carr with Belly to Baby Studios, recently photographed this new family of three here in our studio. This portrait was their first family photo session together as a new family. I always tell my newborn parents that you will not have this moment back, when your baby is this small and fits so well in your arms. Enjoy the long cuddles and when your baby falls asleep on your chest. This phase of your newborn’s life will go by so quickly.

I remember the first 8 weeks after our daughter was born. I was a walking zombie and so tired. I could not even think or even imagine having portraits taken of me at all. I was exhausted and just trying to get use to a new routine and getting up every few hours to feed our daughter! Let’s just say that yoga pants, t-shirts and baseball hats were my friend during this time. Oh, and Starbucks too. Looking back, I wish I would have stopped and just taken a family portrait at this stage of our lives together. Yes, I have amazing newborn portraits of our daughter, but not one professional portrait of me with her, or our new family of three.

When my new parents come back into the studio for their newborn and family portrait order appointment, I always hear them say they are so glad they have this family portrait. They tell me how tired they were, but they look better than they thought they would. Most of all, they treasure and appreciate this documented moment in time. They have printed and framed portraits in the home, on their walls, in an album, so they can look at the images and share them with their family for years to come.
