They say time flies when you're having fun. To that, I say time flies when you're a first time mom! I can't believe my last post here was 4 months ago!! I now have a 3 month old, and he's the best lil bébé in the whole wide world. I'm sleep deprived, but my heart is so so full. <3 I hope you all have a wonderful Mother's Day. ... Here's a few in-home, lifestyle newborn self portraits when lil bean was just a wee 2 weeks old. Enjoy!

I photographed Lauren's maternity photos last month right before the start of my maternity leave and sweet baby Gemma was born two weeks later. This morning I'm so excited to 'sneak out' from my maternity leave to go photograph baby Gemma's newborn photos! <3

The next 8 weeks is going to FLY by with zero days off, editing right after every session in order to keep up with my shooting schedule whilst packing up our current space in between every editing break that I get. We’re moving to our new casita in about 5 weeks! Here’s to hustling and ...growing a healthy baby boy. So very grateful for all my existing & new clients.

Hello everyone, Renee Tay Photography is back in business! During our time together, I’ll be wearing a face mask and will be keeping a distance of six feet from your family. That’s really the only change you can expect, and its implemented to keep my family safe as well as yours. I am so excited to be able to see all of your faces!

3 things you can do to support other photographers right now 1. Write a review. If you’ve ever booked their services, take 10 minutes to email your photographer a 7-10 sentence long review that they can then use for marketing. Bonus points if you post the review to their Facebook business page. 2. Refresh your social media with the photos they took for you. This could be a simple Facebook throwback post. Don’t forget to tag them and write a few sentences on how you felt d...uring the session and why you had the photos done. 3. Instagram story shoutout some of your other favorite photographers around the world. Take it one step further and DM each other to see if you can exchange shoutouts. This is a great way to get accounts circulating. Don’t forget to include where they’re located so followers in their area can book them, and visa versa. #repost via - Jessica Whitaker
