NEWBORNS Life Style

Time with your children may seem to pass slowly, but in fact it goes quickly, especially in the first months of life. Your baby is growing and changing every instant. I would like to slow those precious moments down for you and for your children and their children. Every child should know the story of their life, and what is a story without a beginning?

why at home?


The first two weeks after birth (and this is the best time to photograph a newborn) are usually the most difficult: mothers establish a routine, breastfeeding, learn to live with a new family, adapt their routine, require rest and self-care in order to restore their body.


Since I gave birth to my first child, I began to photograph newborns ONLY with home visits. With maximum care for the health and comfort of the mother, I ensure the complete sterility of my work and safety for the newborn, I bring absolutely all the necessary equipment and take care of our results myself. I combine staged photography with documentary photography, and this mix is ​​the best possible combo in this genre. You get all in one ☝️


In the carousel I have collected a brief overview of what I shoot. I focus on the family, not just the child. I create a whole story, which we then print in photo albums, and you tell your kids about your first meeting and the importance of their appearance in your family.


Now you don’t need to sacrifice your comfort and safety for the sake of unique photos🙌


❤️ You just need my package of services, with a guarantee of results and 16 years of experience photographing newborns.

Dazed and tired? That's OK


You probably feel dazed and exhausted right now, not to mention stoned with love for the new little creature in your arms. I've been there! That's why we'll keep your newborn session low-key and
intimate. I’ll come to your house, we’ll hang out and capture some relaxed photos of you soaking up your child’s magical first days on the planet, and chat about all the crazy stuff that comes with having a
newborn.
My "Maternity+Baby" package includes the miraculous blooming of your body during pregnancy (at 50% off) as well as the home newborn session.


How long is Dad needed for the pictures?


Here's the minimum set of frames for father and newborn:
1. Close-ups
2. Dad and baby together
3. Father-child portrait
4. Family together
This usually takes 30 minutes, after which Dad can go back to his business.

...when I was pregnant with my first child, I didn't even consider having a birth photographer...


I had a deep conviction: "What's there to photograph? Blood? Screams? No way." During that birth, I almost lost my baby.

...when I was giving birth to my second child, I already knew for sure that I wanted photos of this event. It finally dawned on me with my second child just how important this event is in life—both in my life and my child's life. But this time, things also went wrong.

I decided that anyone could be the photographer and invited a wonderful family photographer and close friend. She had no experience in birth photography and wasn't a specialist in this area. The result reflected that... my fears and beliefs that a familiar person at the birth would be better than an unfamiliar professional played a cruel joke on me. I kept only two photos from that shoot.


...now that I’m no longer expecting children, I understand:


  1. It's the most powerful experience in every woman's life and definitely the most important event in a child's life. I would certainly want amazing photos from that day. But I don't have them.
  2. During childbirth, the process and emotions are so overwhelming that you don't care if the person photographing you is familiar or not (especially if the photographer is tactful and doesn't interfere or comment on anything). There's no point in clinging to the belief that a familiar person is more comfortable. It doesn't matter. Even though I now meet with the expectant mother and the entire team before a birth shoot... this is more for coordinating actions and styling the shoot.
  3. It's crucial on such days to have the best obstetrician, the best anesthesiologist, and the best photographer with you. The guarantee of excellent results on all fronts is as important as air. At least for me. It took me two failed attempts to finally understand this.
  4. A professional photographer doesn't interfere, knows the team, chooses absolutely stunning angles, and understands how to work with ANY lighting and events. Seriously! NO dad can do that, no doctor can! And I truly believe that a man's place in those moments is beside the woman or the baby, not working as a paparazzi in the delivery room...
