Here are 10 things your doctor probably didn't tell you about giving birth that will help you feel more prepared and in control. (And hey, if these pique your interest, bring these up to your doctor at the next appointment!) 

Choosing a Houston, Texas newborn photographer can be completely overwhelming but not to worry! I’ve put together a few questions for you to ask potential newborn photographers so you can make an informed decision based on your family’s needs.

Nude or implied nude maternity photographs are some of my most requested poses from my clients during maternity photoshoots. The curves of a baby bump, the glowing skin of an expectant mom…what could be more empowering or beautiful than capturing these moments? For those that are bold and brave enough to embrace their changing bodies and to showcase their new curves the outcomes are artistic and create works of art for their homes and personal keepsakes.

Are you expecting and looking for a maternity photoshoot in Kingwood, Texas that truly captures the essence of this beautiful journey? Look no further than Tiffany Daniel Photography, where we specialize in creating modern, editorial, and glamorous maternity portraits that are sure to leave you in awe.

As a maternity/baby’s first photographer, I have the incredible privilege of witnessing and capturing some of life's most precious moments—the milestones of a baby's first year. It's a journey filled with wonder, growth, and countless memories waiting to be cherished. I want to highlight the importance of documenting these milestones through professional photography and why it's a decision you won't regret.

I hope you’ve had an opportunity to read my blog post on what to wear for your in home newborn session but now you may be wondering are there any “no-no’s” that you should know about. Following my blog post will guide you in the right direction but here are some things to look out for!

Family portraits with newborns are somewhat of a new trend. When I began photographing newborns almost 15 years ago, moms were not as interested in being photographed after giving birth. Photographers have found ways of photographing postpartum moms in a very flattering, soft way that allows moms to feel beautiful and empowered during this time. Angles and wardrobe are everything in these portraits so when choosing a newborn photographer, find one that you love how the moms are posed for their family shots. Here are my top tips on how to prepare yourself for a newborn session:

One of my favorite things to see at a newborn session is two, brand-new grandmas with their new titles, doting on their first grandbaby! Watching moms witness their own babies become parents is something magical. They are supportive, yet give space, offer advice when prompted, and step aside when not needed. It’s a beautiful dance of everyone metamorphosing into new roles! So, naturally, I had the grandmas jump in for pictures with their babies holding their new baby! Imagine, one of the first portraits of your new baby and their grandma is professional and frame-worthy! Three-generation photos are some of my favorite images to capture!
