A newborn session is unique to each individual family. The session is safe, calm, happy and memorable. We go with the pace of your baby and allow for plenty of feedings, changing, soothing and lovin’.
I prefer to photograph siblings and family combinations first so baby gets used to the sounds and smells of the studio and gets sleepier as the session progresses but is flexible on family schedules. If siblings and Dad want to pop out while I capture Mom and individual newborn photos, there is a candy , donut and ice cream shop a block away from my studio!
If doing a Lifestyle In-Home session, kids can play freely as I capture their life as is (please remember although pups may be gentle, sometimes they may not like a stranger with a camera).
Newborn sessions can range to meet any of the following grouping:
- Baby only
- Mom + Baby
- Mom + Dad+ Baby
- Mom + Dad+ Baby + Siblings
- Baby + Siblings
Don’t feel defeated if Dad has a business call or has to take a half day of work and leave mid session. We can adjust to his schedule.
It’s tough to decide in your home or at your studio? Both are great options. In your home allows you to freeze not only your special moment with your newborn, but captures those times at home. The studio has perfect natural lighting in a safe clean environment with plenty of props that you wouldn’t have to worry about at home. In the studio all you have to do is get yourself + family ready and show up with your essentials and a well fed and sleepy baby.
It is so so important to review the Newborn Welcome Magazine and follow the tips and suggestions to properly prepare for your session.
