We Have a Photographer!

I can cross one more item off my list of things to do before the baby comes, securing a photographer for newborn pictures. I'll never forget when Bridget told me she booked her amazing newborn photographer before she was even out of her first trimester. I think she jokingly said she told the photographer before telling friends and family. But when you've got someone good, you don't mess around. As much as I would have loved to use Bridget's photographer, the thought of making the 90 minute plus traffic ride to Long Island with a 10 day old infant just didn't sound appealing so I began the process of searching for someone a bit more local.

I spent a lot of hours on my tablet looking all over at various local photographers. The process was def different from finding a wedding photographer. These days it's not just about finding a "family photographer" it's about the newborn photography with the beautiful props and styling. When I went for a haircut last month, my hairdresser, also named Rachel, who is also pregnant with her first baby due in September told me about a photographer another girl she works with used, and who she's planning to use as well. She showed me a picture and I loved it.

At first I didn't even think about using her as well bc she's still up by our old house but when I looked around more and more this photographer and beautiful pictures, great prices, and would travel to use for only another $50 more. After I spoke with her on the phone I knew she would be perfect to work with. For our package we're getting 4 different sessions, maternity, newborn, 6 months and 12 months with a cake smash, how could I beat that? And for the maternity pictures she suggested we do them outside in the fall, that just really sealed the deal for me, after I told her how we did our engagement pictures, she said we could def do something similar!

I'm so excited to work with Martha Sobanko for our pictures this fall! I know they're going to be beautiful!! Here's a couple of her beautiful pictures!
