Hey there, welcome to Finch & Mae Studio’s blog. Finch & Mae specializes in maternity and newborn photography. We chat about everything here at the blog from maternity and newborn sessions to when you should book which sessions. How do you dress? We cover that too.

Alyssa had reached out have her maternity and newborn portraits done. We clicked right away and we discussed everything that her and her husband Rusty were wanting out of the session. We chatted over the pregnancy, their adorable little pup and really got to know each other.

Once Alyssa booked, we went over wardrobe and location choices. You guys, they drove over an hour to see me for both of their sessions, talk about a compliment.

Their maternity session took place in DeForest, WI at the beautiful golden hour that we are so blessed to have. The session flew by and was filled with so much laughter, outfit changes and chatting over their babe that was soon going to be entering the world and their hopes for having their dog in some of the family portraits.

The newborn session arrived and their sweet babe was completely fine with anything that he had done fo table and prop poses. Alyssa and Rusty enjoyed some quality time together as I went through the typical process that I have in the studio.

I had a certain idea of what I had wanted to do for their newborn son and their dog for the best portrait possible. I envisioned it as a massive print hanging on their wall for years to come. When I tell you that it turned out better than I could have imagined- I am not kidding. It is by far one of my most favorite portraits.

To be honest, nothing is more exciting for me than to see families during their pregnancy and again when their sweet baby has entered this world. It is just an incredible thing to see families grow, become parents and share their stories of the first few days, how labor went. When families come into the studio, I love getting to hear about labor and deliver, we chat about how baby is fed, how are they sleeping, who has met the baby? Getting to know families on such a personal and intimate level is one of my top goals. It helps form such a great bond with families that I tend to see a lot over the next few years.
