When parents bring their little ones in for a newborn session, there’s one part I always get excited about—capturing all the tiny details. Those delicate eyelashes, wrinkly fingers, button noses, and teeny toes… they’re the things that change so quickly, yet hold so much meaning. Using a macro lens lets me zoom in and freeze these fleeting moments in time, and honestly, it’s one of my favourite parts of every session.
These close-up shots aren’t just pretty pictures. They’re memory-keepers. Years down the road, when your baby is walking, talking, and growing into their own little person, you’ll be able to look back and remember just how small and perfect they were in those first few days. I know a lot of parents saying that they can use their phone to capture those details. Yes? but you will need a really good lense to get super close to your baby and photography those tiny details.
Macro photography allows us to get incredibly close, capturing every little feature with crystal-clear detail—from the soft fuzz on their ears to the folds in their tiny hands. These images often become the most emotionally powerful part of a gallery because they speak directly to the heart. They remind you of the stillness, the quiet, and the love that surrounded those early days of parenthood.
If you’re thinking about newborn photos, and you want to remember not just what your baby looked like, but how it felt to hold them in those first few days, I’d love to help you capture it all.
