Sarah Jane L.

Sarah Jane L. is the sixth entry in the Newborn Photography Contest. Sarah Jane’s sweet daughter will be introduced to the world in May, 2012.

She says newborn portraits are important to her because:

“In today's digital age, more time is spent posting status updates, retweeting, or pinning the latest and greatest. The constant desire for instant gratification and up to the second news has driven society into a culture of zombies. New mothers can't wait for their children to reach the next milestone so they can tweet a picture or video of it, or put it on their facebook so all of their friends can "like" it. Although the convenience of this type of interaction is ideal for young families and friends in this generation we live in, it is anything but timeless and personal. Friend requests and "likes" come and go. Young families grow old. What was once convenient and fun turns into childish and impersonal. No matter how technology evolves, one constant exists throughout generations; the photograph. A physical photograph can immortalize a moment in time that is otherwise forgotten in this on the go generation. A photograph is a timeless momento that can be passed d own and enjoyed forever. A photograph can brighten the eyes of family and friends and can be shared with loved ones old and young. The importance of properly documenting the awe inspiring first few days of life is truly priceless. In a time so demanding and emotionally draining for parents, some of the most peaceful moments in a newborn's life are forgotten as quick as the size one diapers grow into size two, three and four. The importance of newborn photos is paramount for a young family as it grows. One day, when life slows down, time will be taken to enjoy the finer things. It is only then, when the priceless momentos of youth, so perfectly documented by photograph, can be reflected upon and enjoyed fully. As a young expecting mother, the pinnacle of this special time in my family's life would be experiencing newborn photographs to forever cherish the most precious time in my new daughter's life.”
