A few months back, I was wondering how I could show newborn parents what a session was like, and introduce them to me and my studio before ever stepping foot into my studio. I always post the portraits after the session is over to share sneak peeks with the families – but that didn’t feel like enough. There needed to be something more, I have my “about me” section and a gallery on the website, still I needed more. Then it hit me. I needed a video! A film of who I am, in real time and what the session looks like while you sit in the front room (out of the heat) relaxing with some treats, coffee and wi-fi.

I reached out to my friends in Facebook land for a videographer and was quickly reminded I had an amazing friend who does video work! I sent him my ideas and what we came up with is this amazing video below. A huge thank you to Jon Lewis for filming the video and writing my very own Kelly Elizabeth Studio acoustic song. Also a big, big, big thank you to the family for allowing us to film their precious baby boy.

Here are a few cell phone snaps from behind the scenes while we recorded both parts of the video.

Here I am with Jake, he is flashing some little smiles as I soothe him and get him ready to start! 

Next, we are photographing baby in the “froggy” pose. My assistant is helping me so that baby is always supported – safety first, last and always!

What I look like when I’m not photographing newborns in 80 degree heat! 😉 

Take a look at the video, I’m speechless over it. It is exactly what I wanted to show and more.
