I have to admit, I used to just delete the outtakes from all of my newborn baby sessions. Curating a gallery to only keep the moments I deemed technically ‘correct’, smiling faces or perfectly posed. However as time has gone on, I realise that the funny faces, the silly looks, the yawns, the frowns, & the scrunchy faces are some of the most memorable!! They are also the most real and truly capture the many looks that little ones show us! I love how babies can fall into the different stages of sleep, each bringing new looks. Sometimes we are lucky enough to get bright eyes at the end and it always is surprising how they seemingly look right at me. Heart melt!

So, how many of you love the outtakes?? Would you prefer a perfectly “curated” gallery of images that are all ‘just so’, or would you rather the whole array of sweet smiles, beautiful poses and all of those gorgeous in between moments?! 

As a baby photographer here in Victoria, BC I am so fortunate to capture all of these sweet moments.
