Capturing the Fleeting Moments: Why Timing is Crucial in Maternity and Newborn Photography by Edwardsville Photographer Conner James Photography

It seems that more and more these days, there isn’t enough time in a day to fit everything in. Twenty-four hours just doesn’t work anymore. When you try to figure an entire day that includes work schedules, school schedules, extracurricular schedules, commute times, meal times, etc. it gets overwhelming. Days and events that mean something special to us may get half of the attention they deserve - because there just isn’t enough time for everything. It’s sad to think that’s the case for many families, especially when those special days, times or events only come around once. Maternity and newborn photography, for example, falls into this category. Mothers are going through a particular pregnancy ONE TIME and their newborns are only true newborns ONE TIME. This is why timing is so critical in capturing the moments that will come and go like a breeze. Glen Carbon, Illinois maternity and newborn photographer Conner James Photography will beautifully snap up these precious times that you’ll have only once.

When you’re pregnant, so many things are running through your mind and maternity photos may not be a priority. Though, it should be. You may not realize it until after the time has passed, but being pregnant - those 40 weeks - pass by so quickly. The importance of capturing the precious love and beauty you will experience is something you don’t want to miss out on. Edwardsville, Illinois newborn photographer Conner James Photography suggests getting on her schedule for your maternity photos around your twelfth week. You can book your session on her website at www.connerjamesphotography.com/booknow . “I’ve seen it all too often,” says owner and photographer Christine Loomas. “So many of my mama’s get that pregnancy brain and they get consumed with this and that. Next thing they know, they’re 36, 37, 38 weeks pregnant and wanting maternity photos that we just can’t make happen.” One of the great things about maternity and newborn photographer Conner James Photography is that Christine works WITH you, not against you. She encourages clients to book their sessions early to ensure they get on her schedule. But if you need to move your date around for any reason, Christine will go  to any length (even change her own schedule) to make sure you get the photos you want and deserve to have.

Once you welcome your newborn, the pregnancy brain is gone and new mama overload has kicked in. But this time now is also one you don’t want to lose. “Most of my mama’s book me for their newborn photos at the same time they schedule their maternity photos,” says Christine. “As a mom myself, I can honestly say you don’t think about scheduling photos when you’re sitting in the hospital with your newborn. It’s best to get everything on the books months ahead of time so you know you’ll get these once-in-a-lifetime moments caught on camera.”

The precious first few days of motherhood will pass you by so quickly. Don’t let them go unnoticed and uncaptured. Let Christine Loomas of Conner James Photography freeze this time for you. With her home-studio centrally located - just a stone's-throw from Maryville, Troy and Collinsville, Illinois - you don’t have to worry about making a drive across the river for beautiful, affordable newborn photos. Make one phone call and two bookings early in your pregnancy so you don’t need to worry about it later. Take the precious moments you have with your baby and enjoy them because when you blink, they’ll be gone.

The Impact of Photos on Child Development and Family by Edwardsville Photographer Conner James Photography

Have you ever been to a household that didn’t have any family photos displayed? It’s certainly a possibility but probably not very likely. A young couple may have their wedding photos hung in a gallery for everyone to see. Some may have photos of themselves and their dogs from a hiking trip. Proud grandparents could have graduation pictures displayed of their 18 grandchildren. The list and the possibilities are endless because photographs always seem to represent love, happiness, success and most of all, family.

If you’re looking for a professional and skilled family photographer, check out Edwardsville, Illinois photographer Conner James Photography. Owner and photographer Christine Loomas understands just how important family photos can be and she demonstrates that knowledge in her photographs. “I’ve had clients come back to me for family photos every year,” says Christine. “Many of them say being together and having their photos taken each year is a fun bonding experience.” It can be fun to go through the process because during the length of the photo session, a lot of things happen - things that make each other laugh, things that spark new genuine smiles, or even blooper moments that create pure one-of-a-kind memories. 

You may not realize, too, that children love to see photos of themselves as babies. When they look at photographs of themselves right as they entered the world, and photos of them growing up it contributes to their sense of identity. Children learn to recognize that they are “David Thomas” (for example) and they are the little brother of Jessica Thomas. They identify as being an active member of their family that consists of mommy, daddy, Jessica, David, and their dog Cooper. Being aware, recognizing, and knowing that they belong is so important to them. Glen Carbon family photographer Christine of Conner James Photography works magic behind her camera. Whether your family photo session is outside or in her home-studio, she has an incredible knack for capturing the most joyous smiles behind each family member.

One more thought about the importance of family photos: think about family expansion. Maryville, Illinois photographer Christine of Conner James Photography talks about how a repeat client of hers has a gallery wall of family pictures. It starts with engagement and wedding pictures, then runs to maternity and newborn and on to full family photographs. “It’s such a cool idea because it literally shows the evolution of a family,” says Christine. “Children can see their parents when they were young and how it was just the two of them. Then on to their mommy being pregnant with them and eventually having them. And of course, full family pictures from year to year of that family expanding and growing in love together.” 

Family photos are truly beautiful. From showing the very beginning of a family all the way through the ages - they are treasures to be cherished. You don’t need to waste time searching for a professional photographer who can capture the love of your family. Simply contact Conner James Photography in Glen Carbon, Illinois. You’ll fall in love with the magical moments your family shares as she snaps away effortlessly behind her camera lens.

Building a Visual Story: The Journey from Maternity to Newborn by Glen Carbon IL Photographer Conner James Photography

It’s pretty likely that most people would say the process from maternity through having a baby is a “journey.” It makes sense since a journey is generally thought of as traveling or passing from one place to another. Many new mothers and their families have a desire to capture the precious moments that evolve throughout this journey. For them, it’s more than just a journey, it’s a story - more specifically, it’s THEIR story. It’s unique only to them and their baby and they want to be able to tell their story, visually. By visual, I don’t just mean pictures taken with an iPhone. They want topnotch, professional photos that are unrivaled. Photographs that the best of the best are known for. They turn to Edwardsville, Illinois newborn photographer Conner James Photography.

Being pregnant is magical. Every part of the nine month journey is beautiful, yes, even the days of nausea, exhaustion, swollen feet, etc. It’s beautiful because you are creating a life and during that 40 week creation, you can write your story through photographs. Glen Carbon, Illinois newborn photographer Conner James Photography specializes in maternity and newborn photos. Owner and photographer Christine Loomas loves the way her photos create a narrative for the mom-to-be. Looking back over the past decade of her work, Christine has photographed several hundred pregnant women and equally several hundred newborns at her home-studio in Glen Carbon, Illinois. “It’s just really awesome to be able to tell a mother’s story through a series of photos,” says Christine. “I’m not a writer, I’m a photographer - but I get just as much joy story-telling through my photos as I’m sure a writer gets through their written work.” 

Connected events, whether written or spoken, is a story. More and more families these days now see how they can tell the story of their journey to mother and parenthood, simply through some amazing photographs. St. Louis baby photographer Conner James Photography has a portfolio that boasts hundreds upon hundreds of maternity and newborn photos. Owner and photographer Christine says, “I have moms contact me as soon as they get a positive pregnancy test because they WANT to get on my schedule. And if I take their maternity photos, nearly 10 times out of 10, they come back for me to take their newborn photos.” Christine also talks about how her clients reveal they adore and appreciate her talent for capturing the beauty of such important milestones - from pregnancy to baby’s birth. “I’m often told that no other newborn photographer in the area even comes close to matching the kind of photographic storytelling that I can do.” 

The importance of continuity and how a series of photos can tell a complete story should be a priority to every maternity and newborn photographer. For Conner James Photography in Edwardsville, Illinois, it is - and her products reflect that, flawlessly.

Why Every Pregnancy and Newborn Experience Deserves to Be Documented by Glen Carbon IL Maternity Photographer Conner James Photography

For each and every one of us, our lives are special. Our lives are unique. And our lives are precious. We only have one life and none of us know how long or how short it will be. In saying that, many people treat their lives as they would treat a significant celebration. When we celebrate, we all want to take pictures because it’s important to us and our families and our friends that we remember that time. It’s important that we capture those moments. It’s important that we freeze those memories - so they can never be lost and never be forgotten. Wouldn’t you say this is the same for the time(s) a woman is pregnant or once a beautiful newborn comes into the world? Edwardsville, Illinois photographer Christine Loomas of Conner James Photography would agree; and here’s why.

When it comes to pregnancy and newborns, every experience is one-of-a-kind that deserves to be captured and remembered. At any given moment, these times may seem to go on and on and on until you blink - and they’re gone. Well, they’re gone physically, but they can live on in your heart with the help of professional newborn photographer Conner James Photography in Glen Carbon, Illinois. Christine possesses a natural talent for “seeing” and “grabbing” the moments mothers and new parents alike want to hang onto. There’s truly nothing more beautiful than a new life. And whether photos are taken during maternity or once a newborn has made its grand entrance into the world, the journey up to that point is sacred to that family. 

A great example of this is the story of John and Jane Doe. They tried to conceive for 10 years before seeking help from fertility specialists. Though difficult, John and Jane worked with a photographer who agreed to go on every single step of their journey toward parenthood. This journey lasted three years and consisted of endless doctor appointments, blood work, fertility shots, injections, egg retrievals, embryo transfers, negative pregnancy tests and lots of tears. You might be wondering, “Who in the world would want to have photos of all this? It’s sad and painful and above all, depressing.” In a word, yes, it is all of those things. But to John and Jane it was an altering life experience that they KNEW would eventually have a happy ending. And the journey toward achieving that happiness, no matter how long or how sad or how painful - was absolutely worth capturing for them. Because when the day came that they finally received good news, that the pregnancy test was positive, that they were going to be parents - their photographer was there to capture it. All of their raw emotions - the happy screams, the tears, the laughter, the hugs, kisses and absolute joy - was documented. So one day when they are telling their child about their journey, they have every single piece of it captured in hundreds of photographs. It’s their story and their experience. And it was unique and worth capturing through photos.

So, if your pregnancy and/or newborn experience is one you don’t ever want to lose, times you never want to forget, moments you know you’ll want to reflect on and cherish as you grow old - contact Edwardsville, Illinois newborn photographer Conner James Photography. Your life will be filled with moments that will flee, but photographer Christine will make sure the moments you want to stay, always remain.

The Role of Photography in Celebrating New Beginnings by Edwardsville IL Photographer Conner James Photography

If you think back to when the very first camera was invented, in the 1800s, it was a pretty simple device - something that could capture and reproduce an image. That was really all anyone at that time needed. In fact, that was all anyone needed for over one hundred years. The sole point and purpose of a camera was simple: to capture or freeze a moment in time; a moment that could be reproduced, if needed.

As with anything, over the course of time things change. From polaroids to iPhones, I’m sure no one ever thought we’d be able to take and manipulate photos with our cell phones - not to mention the incredible developmental journey of professional photographers. And in present day, one of the most sought after pros specializes in maternity and newborn photos. If you’re searching for the best of the best, search no further than St. Louis newborn photographer, Conner James Photography.

Edwardsville IL Newborn Photographer Conner James Photography

Maternity and newborn photos don’t just celebrate your baby’s new life, they symbolize the start of a whole new chapter for your family. Christine Loomas of Conner James Photography in Edwardsville, Illinois believes photos can tell stories that words cannot. When Christine is taking maternity photos of a mother-to-be, she aims to capture a moment or an expression that tells a story. Carrying a baby is such a precious and magical time for a woman. There is a beauty and love within her that words just can’t explain. But through the right photo, one taken by a seasoned maternity and newborn professional,   

One really great thing about photography is that it has the same significance from culture to culture. When a family has maternity and/or newborn photos taken, they will forever have one moment (or a few if they’re lucky) captured in time. A moment they can preserve, cherish and treasure for years to come. Glen Carbon, Illinois newborn photographer Conner James Photography prides itself on giving families wonderful memories they can relive over and over again and again. They will be able to reminisce on those special times whenever they want, day or night. Christine has said that her clients come from all walks of life. And while everyone is so incredibly different, they all have one exact thing in common - their want and desire for beautiful maternity and newborn photos.

To many, photos are more memorable than words. If you ask professional photographers who are truly dedicated to their craft, they are likely to say that photos display unspoken words, unwritten details, and the inner expressions of their subjects. The beauty of a photograph is that it allows us to review and interpret what we see without anyone else interfering and telling us what we are “supposed” to see or how we “should” feel. Edwardsville photographer Christine of Conner James Photography devotes herself to capturing new beginnings her clients wish to celebrate. They can also rest assured that Christine’s work will capture the unique love a mother and a family hope to commit to memory for a lifetime

Ideas for Displaying Your Maternity and Newborn Photos by Edwardsville IL Newborn Photographer Conner James Photography

You’ve recently just had your newborn photos taken by a newborn photographer in Edwardsville, Illinois. When you finally get your proofs from Glen Carbon photographer and owner of Conner James Photography (Christine Loomas), you ooooh and aaaah at the beautiful pieces of photographic art before you. As you’re browsing, you begin to think about how and where you want your precious new photos displayed. So many new and cool ideas are trending right now; where should you even begin? Read on for some really amazing ideas for showcasing your photos.

The Kitchen. This isn’t your normal “go-to” location for photos. It’s the kitchen. We cook there and we eat there. That’s it. Right? Not so much anymore. The kitchen has become one of, if not THE MAIN focal point in every home. For more and more families the kitchen is just as much a family gathering/hangout space as is the family room or TV room. Regardless of how large or small your kitchen is, you can buy or even make magnetic photo frames for your refrigerator. Place photos in window sills or even hang a few floating shelves for added display space. Have a baker’s rack in your kitchen? Stagger some different sized photos in the bare spots for some extra flair. Edwardsville, Illinois newborn photographer Christine of Conner James Photography loves this idea and makes sure to always give this display tip to her clients. 

Coat Hooks. This one may sound strange, but really, it’s a genius idea. We’ve seen many families abandon the old school coat closet and switch to a more modern way of hanging coats, bags, purses, keys, etc. Hence, the coat hook. But wait, there’s more creativity in the mix. Let’s say you have four coat hooks by your front door. You can print and hang a framed photo of your newborn along the top of each hook for a super precious and really sweet way to show off your baby’s pictures. You could do a 4x6 over one hook, a 5x7 over another, vertical, horizontal, and so on. You get to adore your sweet baby’s face every time you grab your keys to run out the door and every time you hang your coat when you come back in. Now that sounds like a win-win to me! And if you ask Glen Carbon, Illinois newborn photographer Christine of Conner James Photography, she gives this idea two very well-deserved thumbs up!

Staircase Display. Oftentimes I feel like staircases are dark, narrow, uninviting parts of a house. There’s really nothing to them; they just lead you up and back down again. A means to an end, so to speak. So let’s change that. Print a couple different sizes of your newborn photos and create a warm, welcoming staircase display that is simply darling. You can have one really large photo printed as the focal point and then another half dozen of all sizes surrounding it. Go vertical and horizontal. Be a little different and use square or oval frames. Add even more variety by mixing up the frames. Don’t just use a natural wood frame for every photo; try some gold or white even use mattes. By doing this, you’ve completely transformed the staircase space. Adding a photo display along the staircase just makes a house feel more like a home. St. Louis baby photographer Christine of Conner James Photography is a big fan of staircase displays and recommends it as an ideal way to brighten up what would normally be a pretty boring space.

Include Personal Decor. If you’ve decided to make a wall gallery with your photos, adding some personal decor is a must! Imagine that you have a number of photos, all different sizes and in differing frame types and shapes. Go a bit wild and add something fun that isn’t related to photography at all. How about a rustic clock? Or a wooden sign with a meaningful word or quote? Maybe even a longitude/latitude piece to memorialize a significant location? You can choose things that match your family's style and/or room theme. The more you personalize your wall gallery, the more meaningful it will be; hence creating a one-of-a-kind space for your most unique and precious photographs. Glen Carbon photographer Christine of Conner James Photography sees this idea trending with more and more families. It’s simple, it’s unique, and no one will be able to duplicate your personal creativity!

It’s not that cell phone photos or friends taking pictures with their Nikon aren’t great photos. They may very well be excellent photos, BUT, they aren’t professional.
