newborn sessions

One of the toughest things about this space and time right now is the realization that we are being hyper cautious when it comes to exposure compared to our friends and family. And that a huge part of this (other than our paranoia) is due to my business.

Luckily, I have a family that supports my ventures whole-heartedly, and they have no trouble being extremely cautious to ensure the safety of my clients.

As a few examples, we still order most of our groceries online except for a twice monthly trip to Trader Joe’s, we avoid going inside any and all businesses, we’re not eating on patios and we are seeing only a handful of friends socially distanced and outside, and Ezra hasn’t played on any playgrounds. What do I miss? Holy shit I cannot wait to leisurely browse at Target again. I miss wine in a cafe with my friends and I really, really miss travel. But I digress.

We are hyper cautious in this time period because the last thing I want to do is spread this horrible disease to a family with a baby. Because of this, I also wear a mask at all shoots (inside or outside) and I shoot with zoom lenses, trying to keep as far away as I can (space permitting). I guess the reason I’m laying all of this out there is so that those of you who might have babies on the way and are nervous about a newborn session will understand the precautions I’m taking, and know that I want nothing more than to keep your families safe.

This has all come as a huge learning curve (particularly with the family films!), but my top priority is for my clients to feel safe when I’m in their home. I don’t want anyone worrying about what I’m bringing to them, and I want everyone relaxed and happy.

Man, these times are challenging.
