Waco Newborn Photographer: A Few of my Favorite Things, Part 3

♪♫♪ Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver-white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things ♫♪♫

I may have secretly wanted to sing, dance and make clothing out of truly horrible curtains, as I re-watched The Sound of Music multiple times in my youth. Unfortunately, my singing is mediocre at best, my dancing horrific, and my sewing ability makes my dancing look good.

While I was no Julie Andrews, the Rodger and Hammerstein's Favorite Things song, will play on repeat in my brain. So, when it came time to tell you about a few favorite products you can choose for your images, it was naturally where my head went. And, kind of like it playing on repeat in my mind, I could go on practically endlessly, since I love every one of the products I carry for you. However, since I've mentioned a way to wear your art, and a way to preserve and display multiple images, I'm wrapping up my series with a wall piece, my Fine Art Torn Edge Framed Prints.

Fine Art Torn Edge Print, Framed 7x7

I love giving you the option of something both unique and more luxurious than a traditional framed print. Printed on Fine Art Watercolor Paper with hand torn edges, it has a rich texture and eye-catching detail, and comes ready to display on your walls.

Arrives ready to display

It can be ordered in 7x7, 10x10 or 10x14 with a selection of frame options to fit your personal style. This double matted, floating-print artwork, looks amazing as a stand alone piece, or as a grouping for your gallery wall.

The texture of the print is something you definitely have to see firsthand to fully appreciate. When you visit the studio for your consultation, you'll be able to get your eyes on this artwork, and peruse the frame styles, to start envisioning it in your own home.

While I covered a few of my favorite things in these last few blog posts, I most definitely haven't covered all of them. Our Albums, Canvases and Wood Block options all fill your home with your family story, perfect conversation starters, and most importantly, something that makes you smile every time it catches your eye.

I can't wait to help you find the perfect solution for you to display your own session images.

If you are considering Leila Photography for your Maternity, Newborn or Childhood session, I'd love for you to follow me on my Instagram Page, where you can see our current work and studio-happenings. (Who doesn't need a few sweet babies showing up in their IG feed?)

Waco Newborn Photographer: Why A Consultation Visit?

I think bumfuzzled might be the word.

It was definitely a conundrum.

The weight of it rested in my gut. Your tiny infant. Entrusted to my hands.  And, unless I did your maternity session, a virtual stranger.

Maybe it was because it took us 5 years to get pregnant, or maybe it's just my personality, but I didn't take the new-mom-gig, lightly.  I read, re-read and then referenced my "What to Expect..." books.  I didn't just have just one, you guys.  I had the series..pregnant, first year, and toddler years...stacked beside my bed, and I wasn't even in my third trimester.

I Googled and contemplated. Every single choice that had to do with the baby I was carrying, was carefully considered.

At that time Newborn Photography wasn't really on my radar as an industry...(it was 14 years ago, y'all).  But, I honestly can't imagine how daunting it would have been to take my brand new infant to a Newborn Photographer, whom I'd only spoken to on the phone for 5 minutes, or through a few lines of e-mail.

While I've frequently been thrilled to be the photographer meeting you and your babe for the first time in-person at a session, it felt like there was a better way.

Opening the studio on Sanger, opened the door for improvement. With the Consultation Visit, we can meet prior to your session. You get to preview the studio, check out the available prop options, handle the products we have available, and have all of your questions answered with less back-and-forth than email. But, most importantly, you get face-to-face time with me. Me, the person who you are entrusting with posing and photographing your little 7-ish lb. dream fulfilled.

If you've already sat in a consultation with me, you know I'll mention that I may not be the right photographer for you.  I think we all know from personal experience that sometimes we just don't "fit" with a service provider, and sometimes they are the Salted Caramel to our Mocha.

There are many amazing photographers in the Greater Waco Area whom I'm happy to recommend, when Leila Photography is not the fit for you. I really don't take it personally, y'all. It's too important that you are confident, happy and reassured by your choice.

If you choose me as your photographer, I am kind-of like a mama hen. I will happily gather you under my wing.  But, if your comfort level or pocketbook dictate a different option, I will encourage you and (with my years of Conscious Discipline in the classroom ;) )..wish you well.

It was a conundrum to me.  It felt off kilter.  But, now it feels just right.  Serving clients through a Consultation Visit is the right fit for Leila Photography, and I think it's the right fit for you.
