Baby Linz is here - Cincinnati Birth Photography

There is (almost) nothing more I like to photograph then a homebirth. This was the fourth birth I have captured for this family. It feels like an hour that they are asking me to come back each time. And what a Rock Star is this mom? She makes Labor and Delivery look like a piece of cake. I almost didn’t make it to this birth. I only had minutes to spare!

Homebirth is just something special. The whole process just feels so natural. I love capturing the whole family loving on Baby and Mom after the delivery.

The “first look” pictures of mom & dad looking over their baby always get to me.

Family Pictures at Ault Park - Cincinnati Family Photographer

Last week I photographed the U Family at Ault Park here in Cincinnati. Ault Park is one of my favorite parks to photograph. The flowers, the greenery, the cascade fountain and the pavilion are just gorgeous and make a great background for photos.

The U Family was so relaxed and easy to photograph. I loved the outfit they chose for their daughter. Who knew that brown and rainbows go together but it works!

Charlotte's In Home Studio Session - Cincinnati Photographer

I can't believe I haven't posted Charlotte's in home Newborn session yet. Such a special session as her two big doggie siblings were present for the session. 

So much I love about this session... But Charlotte on the beautiful green couch with her very large doggie brother, her Dad holding her in his favorite chair and of course the details in her amazing nursery, are probably my favorites.

In Home sessions are amazing because they have a very personal touch! Something you can't get in the studio! BUT there are drawbacks to in home sessions as well...

1. I need good natural light! That doesn't mean turning on every lamp in the house. I need lots of windows with good lighting during the session.

2. I can't possibly bring all of my props, blankets, beanbag, lighting kit, backdrop stand etc. So a in home session is usually more natural, non posing pictures

3. I need lot's of room for all of the things that I listed in #2.

If you don't think you have all of these 3 items listed but are really wanting a in home newborn session, contact me and we will talk everything over!

If you are really wanting more posed baby pictures like Emery's studio session (click HERE to see these) than I would highly suggest doing them in my studio.

Charlotte's in home session was perfect! We had perfect lighting and lot's of room plus her parents were really looking for a more natural type of session.

Emery's Fresh 48 Session

Since I posted Emery's Newborn session yesterday, I figured I would post her Fresh 48 session as well. 

I love, love, love Fresh 48 session! 

Fresh 48's are when I come in when baby is still in the hospital, so baby is "brand new". 

Sometimes a family asks me to wait in the waiting room during delivery, so I can walk right in when baby is born, but most parents wait till baby is about 24 hours old and everyone is rested and showered.

Emery's Fresh 48 session was special because her grandparents were present to and we took some pictures of them too.

I would love to photograph your Fresh 48 session! All Fresh 48 sessions purchased with a Newborn session receive a $100 discount!

Emery - Cincinnati Studio Newborn Photographer

I photographed Emery's Fresh 48 session a few weeks ago and I was so excited when her parents booked me for her Newborn session as well.

Studio Newborn sessions are my favorite! I have everything I need, I know the lighting in my studio... my studio has THE best natural light and it makes everything go very smoothly.

Emery did amazing. She was well fed, warm and sleepy! Three key elements for a good Newborn session.

To book your Newborn session, either in your home or in my downtown photography studio, please contact me through my website www.sonjabphotography.com or email me at sonja.mcgill@yahoo.com. I am looking forward hearing from you and customizing your newborn session.
