San Antonio Baby Photographer | Twins | Chelsea Lietz Photography

Being a San Antonio baby photographer is the best job in the world!  I love working with newborns, especially twins.  I photograph 20-30 sets of twins a year from newborns to one year olds.  When photographing newborn twins in my studio, I always use an assistant for an extra set of hands and for safety.  I have hundreds (maybe thousands!) of props available for twins and higher order multiples.  I love to capture the sweet connection between multiples, but I also photograph each baby separately for individual images.  I have also photographed three sets of triplets and would love to work with quadruplets… so bring me your babies!  😉

If you would like to see more of my twin images, search the blog for multiples or click here!

My favorite fertility clinic in San Antonio is RMA of Texas.  I love working with the San Antonio Mothers of Multiples.

San Antonio Child Photographer | Chelsea Lietz Photography

Last week on my facebook page I asked for nominations for a “deserving” family to receive a complimentary newborn session and the digitals with printing rights.  I explained that “deserving” could mean a wide variety of things and that I just wanted to choose a family currently expecting a baby to bless.  I was raised to give freely and joyfully, and that lesson stuck with me.  I love to give back and I was looking forward to doing this for one family.

And then… something so beautiful happened.

FORTY THREE kind-hearted people went out of their way to nominate someone to me.  They opened their hearts in an effort to tell me why these families that they loved deserved this little treat.  They shared stories of hope, courage, perseverance, admiration, and love.  Always love.  Just the people nominating others touched my heart and moved me to tears.

And then there were the families they told me about!  43 amazing families who have overcome obstacles, fought the hard fight, grieved and hoped again.  These families that stick together, lean on each other and pursue the dream of parenthood.  Through my tears, I read about cancer, miscarriage, lost jobs, stillbirths, fertility treatments, military deployments, hard work, foster families, answered prayers, serving the Lord, adoptions, depression, working two jobs, selfless giving, and LOVE.  Always love.

Instantly I wished that I could photograph every single family and love on every single baby.  But I knew I couldn’t do that and still support my own family.  So I stretched my original promise of one family to two.

I resigned myself to choosing just two families out of the 43.  I underestimated just how hard it would be to decide.  They were ALL “deserving.”  And so many of their stories intersected with mine in some way.  I decided to pray on it over the weekend.

And do you know what happened?

Over the weekend I got a message from the good people at First American Commercial Property Group in San Antonio.  They heard about my project and wanted to sponsor FIVE MORE FAMILIES.  I was so touched and crying yet again.  Love wins.

And I am so very happy to announce that I will have the honor of photographing seven of the families nominated to me.  It was still so very hard to choose, but such a joy to me that I have something worthwhile to give. It isn’t much in the scheme of things, but it is what I have to offer.  The Lord gave me a passion and I get to share it.  It doesn’t get much better than that.

The families I chose were sent an email today, via their nominating friend or family member.

When I meet these families, I will be sharing a bit of their story.  Whatever they are comfortable sharing.  And I will absolutely be sharing the photos of their sweet babies.

Love wins, you guys.  Love wins.

 

 

Edited to Add:

A past client saw this post. She has two beautiful adopted kiddos and says that photos of her children are one of her most prized possessions. So she wants to pay it forward!

She is sponsoring ANOTHER deserving family, bringing our total to 8.  The world is so beautiful.  You guys are so beautiful!  Love wins.

New Braunfels Newborn Photographer | Baby Girl Madeline

Madeline came to my San Antonio area photography studio for her newborn portraits.  She was the sweetest, sleepiest model with a gorgeous head of hair!  I loved posing her on a new blue fabric from The Studio: Fabric Backdrops and More.  I just adore baby girls on/in blue!  But we included plenty of pink props, too.  Madeline’s mama requested some angel wings, floral headbands, and girly touches.  Daddy requested a macro shot of her toes with their wedding rings.  I was happy to oblige.  I think Madeline was happy, too… she flashed me a few smiles throughout the session.

Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl K family!

San Antonio Newborn Photographer | 2014 Baby Photos

Being a San Antonio newborn photographer is my dream job.  I wake every day eager to work with babies and photograph tiny miracles.   I push myself to learn new things and perfect my art. I am proud of what I do.

And in 2014 I had the honor of photographing 132 newborn babies.  (Down from 153 in 2013, but I took 2 months of maternity leave this year)

To some, this doesn’t sound like a lot.  But it is.  Newborn sessions are labors of love, but they are long and a great deal of work.  Not to mention all of the non-newborn sessions I did!  And raising three of my own babies that are 4 and under.

I was busy in 2014. But it was the very best kind of busy.

Thank you, dear clients-turned-friends, for choosing me to capture your priceless memories.  Our children grow far too quickly and I think we can all agree that remembering them when they are small is something to treasure.

I wish you all a healthy and happy 2015.  Celebrate the new year with your loved ones… because I’d love to count your baby in my 2015 total!  wink, wink.  😉

God Bless.
