The best part about being a Louisville KY Newborn Photographer is that I’m still close enough for Southern Indiana clients to travel to my studio! And in this particular client’s case, they came to me because of my proficiency level of photographing twins newborn sessions. Twins are certainly double the work, but they are also double the joy for me personally. There is nothing greater than the love between siblings and I get to see the beginnings of a beautiful friendship between these sweet babies from the start. I absolutely LOVE twins and am so happy that I continue to book so many sets; it definitely takes a skilled professional to pull off setups containing two babies. Another bonus of booking a twins session with me is that I charge the same session fee as if it were a single baby. I don’t believe in charging extra for double the baby snuggles!

There were so many favorites that I decided to put them in a short video slideshow for your entertainment. <3

My goal for each session, whether I’ve photographed one set of twins or 100 sets, is to provide a personalized service that is unique to your family. Although I style each session with a similar taste that is true to my brand, I also have creative leeway to tweak the styling to be more rustic / vintage or to be more on the feminine side. The same goes for colors; I style sessions anywhere from soft neutrals to light pastels. The overall product is a gallery full of timeless and classic images that will never go out of style.

If you’d like more information about booking a session, please message me at hello@jlritt.com to set up your free no-obligation consultation at my home studio.

In addition to rolling out the new branding for my Maternity and Newborn photography in Mount Washington KY, I have also included a whole new line of luxury products into my client offerings.  I have searched long and hard to be able to offer the best presentation of your images through the finest products in the industry!  I am truly excited about everything in my product line up, but this post is just about 2 of them that are near and dear to my heart!

The most popular new item is the Photo Prints on Wood.  This product involves a very tedious fabrication process in making each wood block with which your images will be showcased upon.  They are handcrafted one by one in a shop with true woodworking craftsmen, not in a machine driven shop where your product isn’t being worked on by a skilled laborer.  Your photo becomes a living and breathing piece of art from the moment the wood is hand selected to be carved up for your order all the way until the time I deliver to you.

As much of a labor of love as it is for the woodworkers to create such beauftul handcrafted woodwork, it is just as much of a labor of love for me to provide you with these beautiful images to adhere to their products!   Below is one of the options for a jawdropping photo wall that is included in my Collections.  This would wow any guest into your home or baby’s nursery!

“Perfect Mix Photo Wall” is one of the exclusive new photo prints on wood options included in the Collections that I offer.

This product is so versatile!  You can hang on the wall, sit on a pedestal or stand them straight up on your desktop.  They even come predrilled and are ready to hang!

The next product line I’m extremely excited about are my new canvases.  The new canvases that I am carrying are the best quality to be found in the industry.  Each one is made by hand with artisan quality canvas and printed with lifelong UV and Water resistant inks. Each frame is assembled with artist quality kiln-dried fir stretcher bars.  Once the frame is assembled, then it goes to the stretcher machine to tightly wrap your canvases to give the highest quality mounting and tight corners.  True craftsmanship goes into each and every canvas!  These are far above the competition of other lower quality canvas dealers that you may find online shipping products made of foam core or particleboard. These are made to last and will be gorgeous art pieces that will remain timeless on your walls for years to come.

I have so much more to show you with my new line of luxury albums, but they are still in transit to me so they will make it into the next blog post.  My passion for photography and providing the highest level of service and products drives me to continue to bring you the best of the best in the market.  As new products are added over time, I will continue to share them with you in the same format so you can stay informed!

It is highly recommended to book your newborn session while you are still pregnant to ensure your spot on my calendar. If you would like more information about booking a session or seeing my products in person, please email me at Hello@JLRitt.com for a studio tour and consultation.

Being a Newborn Photographer in Mount Washington KY for the past few years has allowed me to meet some amazing clients, and the Way family is nothing short of that.  I chatted with Lily’s mom, Kat, back and forth for several weeks about their session.  Kat envisioned soft neutrals and a touch of richness thrown in with a rustic twist.  I later learned they live in a log cabin and instantly understood where her love for rustic touches stemmed from.

Lily was such an awesome sleeper that her gallery was abnormally large with over 70 images, when a typical gallery is in the 25-40 range .  I fully style all of my newborn sessions with everything you’ll see here. I have a studio chock full of every newborn trinket, blanket or prop  imaginable to create beautiful art for your walls.  However,  I can’t take credit for the little white crocheted outfit with the big pink flower on it!  Kat brought it in for the session; one of her friends made that for Lily and wanted to honor her gift by having it photographed while they were here.

The slideshow below is what Lily’s parents actually saw when they viewed her gallery for the first time in my studio.  Kat and her husband, Kyle, were in awe from the moment I hit the play button!  I think you’ll see why, so go ahead… press play.

Are you expecting or know someone that is? I’m now accepting bookings for 2016 and already have some months almost completely full.  Please don’t delay to get on my schedule! I may not be able to fit you in if you wait until your third trimester to book, or worse yet, after the baby is born.  I encourage all pregnant mommies to book as early as their first trimester to guarantee the best availability around your estimated due date.  Book your session here, I’d love to work with your family next!

    Samantha - Wow, over 25 images in a gallery for each newborn session! I am blown away by how many pictures we will receive and how adorable Lily’s Mount Washington newborn portraits are. From posing her little hands to her button nose, every shot captures her perfectly. Knowing you have a studio filled with props is such a lifesaver for mommies and daddies, because we never know what to bring. Can’t wait to book!ReplyCancel

I’m sure they will cherish these precious early moments for Lily’s whole life!ReplyCancel

I was so excited about Liam’s newborn session that I blogged it as soon as I was done editing it and forgot to blog his Louisville KY Fresh 48 session.  Go figure!  🙂

Since the Fresh Baby sessions take place in the hospital after the baby arrives, it’s very important to keep in constant contact with my clients so I know when they have their baby.  As you know, you’re only in the hospital for a few short days so any mis-steps in relaying that the baby is due could result in missing the window of opportunity to do the session.  I’ve actually known the Lopez family for several years and have become friends over time, so I kept tabs on the baby’s arrival through Facebook.  Technology has come so far in the last decade and I have to say that I try to use it to my full advantage with scheduling sessions around my newborn client’s social media activity!

Here are a few photos to enjoy from the Fresh 48 session of this handsome little guy!

At this time, I am only taking birth requests on a case by case basis.  You can contact me at Hello@JLRitt.com to see if I’d be the right fit to be your Birth Photographer.  I also shoot Fresh 48 sessions, which are short sessions taken while you’re still in the hospital and are lifestyle type of portraits documenting your natural interactions with your new baby.   Studio newborn sessions are where my heart lies and get to show off my talent with fully posed sleeping babies.  I would love the opportunity to be your Newborn Photographer; babies are my passion and I’d love to create some art for you!
