Discover the artistry and significance behind newborn photography with Megan Grove, a specialist serving Northern Colorado from her purpose-built studio in Windsor. Having refined her craft since 2009, Megan reveals why she abandoned wedding and senior photography to focus exclusively on capturing those fleeting first weeks of a baby's life.
"These photos are not just pictures. They are heirlooms," Megan emphasizes, sharing her personal regret of not having professional photos of her firstborn during that brief, irreplaceable window. Her story serves as a powerful reminder of the lasting value these images hold for families - unlike material possessions that depreciate with time, these photographs become more precious as years pass.
Throughout our conversation, Megan dispels common misconceptions about newborn photography, particularly the notion that it's simple enough for anyone with a camera to master. She explains the years of experience needed to safely pose newborns, the specialized environment she creates with careful temperature control and white noise, and why the first three weeks of life represent the optimal time for these sessions. As she puts it, "You simply cannot go back" once this window closes.
Whether you're expecting a baby, know someone who is, or simply appreciate the art of preserving life's most precious moments, this episode offers valuable insights into a specialized craft dedicated to creating family treasures.
