Top things to do as a family in St Augustine, Florida

Between packing and unpacking, decorating the home and all of the other tasks that come in between, there is very little time for fun.

I know it can be a challenge, but these years are so important to capture. I put together a blog post to detail all the reasons why you should consider scheduling a teen photo session for your child.
What is The Perfect Age for a Newborn session?
When is the best age for newborn photos? How long after birth should I schedule my newborn photography session?
There are many answers out there on this topic and many strong opinions. I’m going to answer this question based on my approach and style for newborn photography. For those of you who don’t know, I am a lifestyle newborn photographer, which means my photo sessions are centered on capturing natural interaction with the baby. I do not capture super posed, propped studio photos. This gives me much more flexibility with the time frame during which you can schedule your baby’s first photos. This is because I am not capturing those posed and propped photos of the baby. Those types of sessions require your little one to be sleepy and the best time to schedule those is within 7 days of birth. This does not apply to my style of photography, so here is some info about when to schedule your session with me.
