Newborn Sessions

If you know that you are interested in a newborn session, please contact me before your little one arrives. As soon as you have your baby, please call so we can schedule a time for your session. It is best for the Newborns to be under 12 days old. The newborn sessions typically last 2-3 hours. I go with the baby's schedule. If the baby is awake, we might need to wait until he gets in a good deep sleep so we can get those priceless sleeping baby poses. All newborn sessions are shot "sleepy baby" style. Meaning baby is posed, naked and asleep. Peaceful and much like they were in the womb. Clothing is not used, nor are diapers. I provide the props, blankets and swaddles. Feel free to bring a special item if you would like to incorporate it in one of the shots. As a mommy to 4, I know what a precious little life I am photographing and your baby's safety will always be #1 priority! I also offer a 'Watch me grow' plan. Looking forward to seeing you and your baby!! :)

'What you need to know for your newborn session'

What to bring

-A pacifier if baby takes one
-Bottles with extra formula if baby is bottle fed
-A special item you would like to incorporate into the session
(blankets and quilts work well)
-Your usual baby gear (extra diapers and wipes)
-A separate neutral colored top (no white please) for mom and dad and anyone else
that might be in pictures with baby

What to expect

-For the comfort of your baby, the studio will be very warm. I have a portable heater to keep the baby warm (so dress light)
-All poses and props are used with baby’s safety being the first priority
-Every effort will be made to get baby in a deep sleep prior to photographing.
This means we will not be photographing the entire session. I will be
very patient and wont rush the session. Sessions are typically 2-3 hours.
-Pictures will be taken of baby either unclothed (everything important will be
covered) or swaddled to ensure all focus is on their tiny features. All props
will be provided. Baby will pee or poo.. don’t worry, it is expected! :)
-I will let you know if I need assistance with posing, calming, or
holding your new baby. This is your time to relax and let me do
the work.
