When Rebecca booked her baby’s first newborn photoshoot, she was ecstatic, just like every mom expecting their newborn’s arrival! We had her phone and clothing consultation; we spoke, we laughed, and we planned it all out. It was going to be everything she envisioned for her soon-to-be-born child.

Then baby came, and with that came some sleepless nights and every mother’s nightmare: 2 days before the scheduled shoot, baby started to develop acne. Just what we all dread, baby acne right before a photoshoot! Couldn’t it have waited until after the shoot?!

Rebecca called me frantically wanting to reschedule. I calmed her down and explained that many babies get it, and no matter how bad it gets, I can assure her the pictures will be perfect. Relieved but still slightly skeptical, she said she would trust me on this one.

Well, this picture speaks for itself. There was no need to delay the photoshoot; the images are picture perfect, and no one would ever have guessed that this baby had a bad case of baby acne.
