When is the right time to schedule baby pictures? | Murray, KY baby photography

I was in Germany when this precious babe was born so we didn't get to do a newborn session right away. Holidays, out-of-town visitors, stress of being new parents, and the semester starting put our session on a slight delay but we finally scheduled this right around the 4 month mark. Baby M definitely wasn't sleepy like a newborn but I actually kind of enjoy that he's so active and aware in these pictures. I can definitely see advantages of both ages for different baby photography sessions. In fact, I've been talking about this with my friend Allison who just had the most adorable baby on Monday.

In case you're deciding on when you might want to schedule baby pictures, here's a pros and cons list:

Gritty and pretty | Murray, KY downtown family session

The struggle was so real in trying to narrow down the photos from this session. Since there were so many cute ones, I decided to separate it out into two blogs. I'm sure you guys don't mind, right?

I love love the setting for these pictures. I think they just feel fun, fresh, and cool. Heidi said "no fields" and my heart burst.

Hazel and Grandma

This one is very near and dear to my heart. My mom is an incredibly special person in our lives and I feel so lucky to have her and my dad so closeby. Many of our friends with kids don't have family who live near Murray - it definitely makes our lives much easier to know that any time we need them, they will show up in less than an hour. My mom is also a superfan of my photography which I'm grateful for. It's really nice to have so many people cheering me on and her approval means a lot to me. (I wish my teenage self could read this blog post because I don't think she would have ever thought she would write those words.) I was really happy when my mom said she wanted me to take pictures of her and Hazel. I did refuse to take her money - happy birthday, mom!
