What is a baby lead session?
At Erica Charlene Photography, all newborn sessions are baby lead. This means that poses are always natural and posing is done on the baby's schedule. Sessions are scheduled for the time of day when baby will be nice and sleepy. For newborns this is the morning, most babies are up all night, and extra sleepy in the morning because they are still adjusting to life outside of the womb, and often have their mornings and nights confused. This is perfect for your newborn session! With baby lead sessions we wait for the baby to be nice and sleep before attempting any posing to ensure baby safety.

Why do I specialize in maternity, newborn, & family photography?
I have always been driven to photography, and I feel it came naturally for me to pair my love of photography with my love of family. Maternity images represent the beautiful journey of a woman’s body into motherhood. One of my biggest regrets in my journey to motherhood was not properly capturing these moments of my pregnancy. I can never go back in time and recreate that, but I hope I can help others feel beautiful in their pregnancy and love their images. With that belief I have taken my love of photography and used it capture what I deeply believe is most important to preserve in time beautiful images of those we love the most. My studio is optimized to create beautiful art for your home so you can view your images every day and enjoy images you love.
