WHAT TO EXPECT
Newborn sessions typically take place in the first two weeks after a baby's birth. They primarily eat and sleep, making it easier to capture them. If you are planning a newborn session, please contact me early so we can schedule your session within baby's first two weeks! Sessions are done primarily at my in home studio. You can expect a session to last anywhere from 2-3 hours. It helps if prior to the session they have recently been fed and changed. Do expect though that your baby will likely need to eat at least once during your session. During this time don't feel the need to rush, take your time to let your baby calm down and eat.
YOUR SESSION
Your newborn session will consist of various position and prop changes. You may be asked for assistance during your baby's session, for safety purposes. I have a large selection of props so don't worry about bringing anything to your newborn session! I have hats, wraps, blankets, baskets, buckets, beds.....the list could go on! However, if you have something special you would like to bring to the session that would be wonderful, just mention it to me prior to your session. If you have something specific in mind for your session don't hesitate to let me know! I want your session to be unique to you!
If you plan on taking photos with your baby, come prepared with a couple of extra shirts as baby is generally naked and accidents happen! If you would like to include siblings in the portrait session please plan on them only being present during the last 30 minutes of the session.
Lastly, CONGRATULATIONS and thank you for your interest, I look forward to meeting your newest addition to your family and capturing memories that will last a lifetime!
