This is the very first time I believe that I had a vision for the session, and all the extra work I put into it showed in my edit results.

I planned each image, lighting and posing with my stand in baby. I even edited one of my test shots with my stand in baby.

I wrote down reminders on a sticky note attached to my cart of close by posing essentials.

This session showed me how far I have come, and that my education on posing and working with newborns is paying off!
It also was the reminder I needed to slow down in my planning. less can be more.
