Elize Mare Photography got to meet another little cutie today at only 7 days young!
It such a blessing for me to capture these newborn memories for parents, and I believe it is a great investment in memories!

Thank you Gavin and Anke for trusting me with your little prince... here is a few of my favorites:

Just plain Cute! {Willem}

Newborn photography is such a sweet and special shoot.  Capturing those little tiny features of the newborn... the more sleepy than awake state... I adore these!
Elize Mare Photography was privileged to share in another special shoot with  Yolande and Willem with their newborn Willem jnr.  I'm saying 'another' because earlier this year (in  March) I did their Pregnancy announcement shoot, and from there I visited Yolande every month to capture one image to show the baby bump growth....
For the newborn session, I visited them at home, as it was in the middle of our winter season, and set up in the spare room - with gorgeous natural light coming in through the window.

Here's Willem:

To post your baby's photo...... or not?

Yesterday I was reading an interesting article that caught my eye. It was based on one of the Photography forums that I am part of.  The reason for my interest in this article, was because of the Newborn Photography aspect. We as photographers use our Newborn images to market our services on our websites, blogs and Facebook albums.  

This article shed some new light on the subject, which I didn't think about at first. 

After reading it though, I'll be sure to think twice about what I'll be posting on my blog and website with regards to Baby photography. 

I would like to share this, as it is not only Photographers that need to pay attention... Parents should take note and be careful what they post online!

As Paul Jacobson, Lawyer says:

 "the reason for that is quite simple; it can be abused. What you do innocently, others take and they abuse it."

Little Superhero, Christopher {Liezel & Willie}
