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.
