Just as having my second child recently compelled me to revisit my maternity photos, I wanted to look again at my newborn photography because the babies are one of my favorite subjects to photograph.

When new parents ask me why they need newborn photography, this is what I tell them: how these sleepy days will not stay in your memory, how the curl of a tiny leg that was just recently still inside your body will soon unfold, and how your baby will grow into their features and never look like they do now again.
