Baby Jase was such a tiny one for being 14 days old.  He was so sleepy and cute too!  I had met his Mommy a few times before, so I was excited to see her and catch up with her!  I’m excited for her on this journey into motherhood.  Tiring, but so rewarding!  And for Jase’s newborn session, she requested red, which isn’t a color I use very often, so it was fun to switch things up.  And I really loved the red!  I think it’s just so stunning.

I wanted to also mention that I’ve started offering a newborn “mini” session.  I get asked SO often by parents to just take a few photos, but my full newborn sessions are usually 3 hours of shooting, plus lots of setups and props and variety.  So I figured I’d give a try to something just a little shorter and it’s working really well so far.  The mini sessions are one hour long, and I can usually fit in one prop setup (in a bucket, basket, etc.), along with a few poses on a blanket.  And then there are lots of different angles, lots of different hats switched out, wraps switched out, etc. so we can still get some variety.  And these sessions result in about 15 photos (or more).  For now I’m trying it out as an all-inclusive session – where you pay a certain price and it includes a download of all of the digital files.  So if this is something you think might work for you, don’t hesitate to ask me more questions!  (melissadevoephotography@gmail.com)
