Hello amazing moms in Jacksonville and surrounding areas! As you're preparing for your newborn photoshoot, you might have come across the common myth that your little one needs to be in a deep slumber for those perfect photos. Well, it's time to bust that myth and discover the truth behind capturing adorable and authentic moments with your newborn.


Myth: Deep Sleep Equals Perfect Photos

Reality: Awake and Alert Moments Are Precious Too!


Contrary to popular belief, newborns don't need to be in a deep sleep to capture those perfect moments. In fact, some of the most heartwarming and authentic photos come from awake and alert moments. Your baby's unique expressions, curious eyes, and tiny yawns can create memorable images that truly reflect their personality.


Capturing Personality: When your newborn is awake, their individual personality shines through. Those curious eyes exploring the world around them, tiny hands reaching out – these moments tell a story that goes beyond the typical sleepy poses.


Natural Connections: Awake moments also provide an opportunity for beautiful connections between you and your baby. Candid shots of smiles, eye contact, and tender moments create images that resonate with the genuine love and bond you share.


In the world of newborn photography, there's no one-size-fits-all approach. Every baby is different, and every moment is worth capturing, whether your little one is in a deep sleep or wide awake. Embrace the authenticity of each moment, and you'll create a collection of photos that truly reflect the beauty of your newborn.
