I used IC You photography for a Daddy and Me mini session about 2 years ago and I was thrilled with the results! Through out my pregnancy, I kept seeing Isabella post the most adorable shots from her newborn sessions and knew I just had to work with her again when Baby H arrived.
Isabella encouraged me to come up with ideas/vision of what I wanted and send her pictures. Since we did know the sex of Baby H, it was hard to narrow down my ideas. I thought she was starting to regret telling me this after a week or so of my constant “Oh my gosh! How cute is this?” emails, but she wasn’t! She was just excited as I was, shooting ideas back to me as well.
When H was born rounding our little family out with 3 boys, I knew there was only one way to capture his newborn stage. Big Brothers W and S can name every construction vehicle, emergency vehicle, car and truck on the road (and now so can I), so I thought using one of their oversized trucks would be perfect!
We had to reschedule a few times due to a few bumps in the road in the beginning with Baby H and Isabella was more than accommodating. We arrived the day of our session and Isabella was so excited! She has tons of props and outfits to use if you want. She warmed up the room so H was comfy and sleepy. (Well, we tried to make him sleepy)
The day of the session H was far from compliant. He was cranky, over tired and didn’t want cooperate. My older boys were still adjusting to the new baby so they were acting out for extra attention. Isabella quickly got pictures of the brothers all together and sent the big boys home with Dad. H an I continued the shoot for another hour or so.
I was nervous with how the kids were behaving if she was even able to capture anything worth framing. She kept reassuring me that she had great shots, and even sent me a few sneak peeks. H being my last (yes, yes I mean it this time!) baby, I was obsessed with making sure to get good newborn and family pictures. So before I even received the images, I booked a fall mini-session to try again!
… I should’ve trusted Isabella! Not only are the pictures from the newborn session AMAZING, so are the pictures from the mini-session!
Isabella is a skilled artist and knows what she is doing. Of course, things don’t always go according to plan; kids don’t behave, the weather wasn’t perfect, whatever it is but please, trust the process.
Trust your photographer, she is looking through the lens and sees things differently. She doesn’t see you kid being crazy (well maybe a little) but she also sees that one smile and can capture it, that one perfect snuggle between baby and big brother.
