The day has finally arrived. You’ve waited nine long months (maybe even longer) to meet this tiny person that you and your loved one have created. From admiring those tiny fingers and toes to the precious wrinkles on your newborn's forehead - you’ve been waiting for this. And now you can’t wait to capture this oh-so-beautiful time, these anticipated moments, this newfound love that will last a lifetime. So naturally, you want your photos to last that long too, but how? Keep reading to find out.

Some people think professional photos aren’t worth the investment. Some will even go as far as saying it’s a waste of money. Let’s be honest; really good, professional photography can be pricey. Especially when we’re talking about maternity and newborn photos, baby milestones or family photos. When you want to celebrate life's unique, irreplaceable moments it’s best to invest in a true professional, really it is. They have a gift and a vision other photographers simply don’t. They possess the artistic talent that truly transforms a photo and turns it into something magical. 

Through the beauty and art of photographs, we can truly hold on to memories. It’s easy to say, “Oh, I’ll remember this.” Or, “How could I possibly forget that?” etc. But at some point in time, we will likely forget something special, a day, a time, or a person that changed us - it’s just human nature. However, we do possess the power to freeze those treasured moments in time. It’s simple - hire a professional photographer like Glen Carbon, Illinois newborn photographer, Conner James Photography. This short story will solidify our case.

A gal (let’s call her Miranda) was planning her wedding about 20 years ago. She booked the best florist and caterer money could buy. But when it came to a photographer, she asked a friend of hers (let’s call him Robert) if he would do the honors. He was a good photographer, never claimed to be a professional, but he would often tout his ability using a camera. At gatherings and events, he was always behind the camera - snapping up the memories no one wanted to forget. On the day of Miranda’s wedding, Robert was there, clicking the day away and capturing this bride’s magical day. When Robert got home that evening, he was sick to discover he never put a memory card in his camera. Miranda’s wedding day was gone, just like that. It came and went, and the only photos she had were the ones taken from a few cheap disposable cameras. You’ve surely heard the cliche “You get what you pay for.” Case in point.

With Conner James Photography, you never have to worry about the level of expertise, the quality, beauty or if you’ll actually end up with photos. You will be working with a true pro who was mentored by one of the best newborn photographers in the world - Ana Brandt. Great photos are about more than just a camera. A professional won’t leave you with just photos, they’ll also leave you with the experience - the memories - of the shoot. If you’re still thinking about making that investment, go for it! Chances are you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the value you really get for your money.
