Coming Full Circle
It started as a couple shoot, now we’re here.
I think my photography blog clearly shows that I have enjoyed photographing all sorts of different projects in the last couple of years, and I think I must be one of Cork’s most versatile photographers at this stage! I know a lot of other photographers like to specialize on one specific type of photography, be it wedding photography or sports photography, but I really enjoy photographing (almost) everything.
Which is why I’m so delighted to finally be able to officially announce that I, Jannik, under the Save The Journey Photography name, am now offering newborn baby photography as well!
I have to say a big thanks to Billy and Paloma for giving me the opportunity to photograph little Elijah. I photographed them initially last year, before Elijah was born. I did a pregnancy / couple shoot with them. They used those photos to give them the chance to announce to friends and family across the world that they were expecting little Elijah. (Check out their couple shoot here!) And now he’s here! Healthy and (mostly) happy! Haha!
I really love that I got to go full circle with them in that sense. It really rounds out the whole journey in a lovely way and I can’t wait to continue photographing their family in the future and watching little Elijah grow.
But back to the baby photo shoot! The most important aspect of it all is: timing. This is where the moms are really important to help advise me what time their baby will be the least cranky. Usually this would be post feeding. Although that of course doesn’t mean that the whole shoot will continue without a hiccough!
Just like with other portrait or family shoots, this is why I like to make sure that I have a lot of time to spare, and to use the opportunities that are presented to me. So when Elijah was getting a little cranky, I decided to just let him nap for a little bit and take some close up shots of him then. Or other natural moments are lovely to capture when they appear and would be such a shame to miss out on! Like when dad is laughing at his son, see below. It all belongs as part of the day! I think at least.

But I must say, Elijah was such a good model for the day, and I’m delighted at what lovely and natural family and baby photos we got.
Billy and Paloma just moved into their new home, and are now collecting photos to fill all their empty walls. And I really look forward to helping them do that!
