Reason #977 why I love offering Dothan newborn pictures. I mean come on look how cute this sweet baby boy is!!! He came to my studio last week at 1 month old for lots of snuggles.

Although this little chunk was older than the 7-10 days old I normally photograph, I did not mind all the extra snuggles he needed.

Dothan newborn pictures

I’m a mother of four, so my heart always melts when I get to photograph a brand-new baby. I remember sitting in my rocking chair, too sore to move an inch from my c-section. But I could not have been any happier.  I would sit there for hours and trace every square inch of my babies. The curve of their ears. The peach fuzz on their shoulders. Trying my best to record every tiny detail for my exhausted brain to remember. If you had asked me then, I would have told you I could never forget a single moment of this precious time. But the sad truth is, I remember very little.

My oldest daughter is now 18 years old, and without her newborn photos to remind me, all I can remember is that she had super-white hair. I had forgotten that her left ear was squished from being in my belly. I forgot that she had zero eyebrows and eyelashes. Every baby photograph evokes a memory that is long hidden in my brain. And let’s be real honest, I remember even less of my second, third, and fourth child.

I love Dothan newborn photography. But more importantly, I am a mom who understands how precious this time is in your life. And how much you will cherish every photograph as the years go on.
