With every newborn baby photo session in my Victoria BC studio, I take just a little extra time to change off my portrait lens for my macro lens, (for other photographers, I use the Canon 100mm lens). With this lens I am able to get right in closely to capture all of those itty bitty eyelashes, lips, fingernails & feathery soft hair. 

To me, it’s those gorgeous little details that make each baby so unique and special-the way their sweet little toes curl, the way they favour a hand by their face, the length of their eyelashes, the swirl of their hair. A little upturned nose or rosebud lips. Each baby is so different and these are the teeny soft details that all mamas want to remember. As your baby grows and changes, these tiny details change so quickly and newborn photography is a wonderful way to preserve those memories. 

What were your favourite little details from when your baby was this small?
