Update: I have to give it up to Jacqueline. I finally scheduled my newborn photo session for an hour and I am in complete awe how she handled my newborn - with patience, gentleness and calmness. My daughter cried a few times and she was able to quickly soothe her and even soothed us. Haha
I can see how a photo session with your baby can be stressful for all parties but Jacqueline makes it look so easy. She even got many poses that I wanted within the hour! If the photos come out anything like my maternity photos, I'm sure they will be stunning!
Original: Jacqueline has been my Yelp friend for awhile now and I would see her beautiful pictures on my activity feed. When I found out I was pregnant, I knew I wanted to take maternity and newborn photos, but I didn't want to spend an arm and a leg to capture beautiful artistic pictures especially since my husband and I had recently married and our wedding photos cost a pretty penny.
One day, I am scanning my activity feed and bam! Jacqueline posts a beautiful picture of a newborn! I contacted her and got a quote, which was pretty reasonable. She was responsive and we booked a photo session on my 32nd week at the Desert Botanical Garden. Jacqueline was easy to work with and the session went pretty seamlessly.
After about a week or so, we were sent our proofs, had to pick a few so we can download which took another week. We are pretty happy with the way they turned out even without major editing! She is a really a talented artist and am looking forward to when our baby is here so we can take newborn photos!
