You’re going to have a baby, congrats! And now you’re thinking that’d it be nice to have newborn photos done but aren’t sure what to expect. Well, it’s really quite simple actually:
Newborn sessions are done in the comfort of your home. I travel to you, no need to pack the diaper bag, worry about timing out feedings, or bring extra clothes in case of accidents. Relax, you just had a baby which can be overwhelming at first! I bring everything for the session including props so there’s no need to scour Etsy looking for headbands, wraps, etc. All you need to do is feed your baby right before I get there and have yourself and any others who will be part of the session ready to go. I’ll do the rest.
Newborn sessions typically last 2 hours or so depending on the baby. Feedings, diaper changes, and snuggling are all part of the process. There is no need to stress about any of that. I adjust each session to the pace of the baby.
It’s important to contact me prior to having your baby so I can get you on my schedule. I only schedule a limited number of newborn sessions a month so to ensure availability, 1-2 months in advance is recommended. Plus scheduling in advance gives us an opportunity to discuss the vision for the session, get to know one another, ask questions and go over the process. Once baby is born we’ll schedule the session within three weeks of birth if possible. If your baby is already here and you’ve decided you want newborn photos please contact me anyway as I may have availability depending on my schedule.
I have a natural, simplistic approach to my newborn sessions. I don’t use a ton of props and I don’t do complicated or unnatural poses (i.e. photoshopped compositions). I focus on capturing your new baby exactly how he or she is—tiny, pure, sweet and perfect. But more than that, I try to tell the emotional story of how your precious new baby fits into your life now.
