Baby Hayven II Newborn Photographer II Clearwater MN II Michelle Towne Photography

Welcome back to the blog, dear readers!

Today I’m sharing a preview of the newborn session I had with Hayven (doesn't she have a beautiful name?!), who was welcomed into this big world on December 7th to Ashley and Darin. As you can imagine, Mom and Dad are equal parts exhausted and delirious with their sweet baby girl, and I feel so lucky to have been given the chance to be a (small!) part of their parenthood journey.
 

 

Going into the session, Ashley said she felt GREAT!

"Michelle has been doing this for years and is very knowledgeable about photographing newborns and how to handle them and has so much patience!! At the beginning of the session she walked me through what to expect, safety points and transitioning poses, which was super helpful as the mom!". All turned out brilliantly, as you can see from the images I was able to capture that day.
 
Mom's main piece of advice to making sure all goes off without a hitch?
 
“Choose a photographer that you trust. Have patience and be flexible” said Ashley. I totally agree with that advice!
