KC Baby Photos | Newborn Photos are Worth it

KC Baby Photos | Newborn Photos Are Worth It

You have had little kids for four years. Once they head off to kindergarten you enter a different season of life. When your baby is born that clock starts ticking. And believe me, it goes so fast. I have four kids, two sets of twins. That window was fleeting and maybe even moved a little faster for me.

And do you know what I didn’t do? I didn’t hire a professional newborn photographer to take my babies’ photos. And I regret it. Thanks for the coupon code and an 8×10, Picture People photo studio. You’re the actual worst. I should have known by the beanie hat with a propeller my photographer was wearing.

Learn from my mistakes AND hire a professional newborn photographer to capture their first photos. Yeah, I’m a professional newborn photographer now, so do I benefit from that? Yep. I do. 100%. But, also, I’m not wrong. Do you know who benefits when you hire your friend who “has a camera” or if you buy a camera to “do it yourself”? No one. No one benefits.

Because she can’t do it. And you can’t do it. It’s hard. Like, really really hard. Even if you can do other things well, like you are super amazing at doing other things…you can’t do this.

And if you think I’m wrong, be prepared to be humbled, because Pinterest isn’t going to cover it. I’m your older wiser sister here, invest in your memories. Hire a professional. Like, one who really really knows what she is doing.

If she is wearing a tiny cartoon-style hat, you have chosen poorly.

Listen, you don’t need a new purse this month. Or new shoes. You for sure don’t need Starbucks. You don’t need it!

In 18 years you won’t have those shoes or that purse. You aren’t even going to remember that purse.

You sold it on Marketplace eight months after you bought it for a fraction of the cost and they paid you in cash and you blew it all on Starbucks in three weeks.

I’m. Not. Wrong.

But do you know what you will have? These pictures of your babies. And do you know how long you will have them?

Girl. Listen. You will have them for a lifetime.
