When do I contact you?

Be sure to book your session while you are still pregnant! We will meet together at my in-home studio to plan all of the exciting details of your newborn session, customizing it to you and your baby!

 

When should I book the actual session?

It is best to contact me while you are still in the hospital, so we can schedule your baby’s session within a week.

 

Why so young?

Your new baby will only fit in your hands for a few short weeks. Newborns can fit into tiny props and curl into amazing positions. 4-10 days old is the time you will get the most stunning photos—photos you will treasure forever!

​

What can I expect?

In order to book your session, it is necessary to pay the non-refundable $50 retainer fee.

From there, a pre-session consultation will be scheduled, which will be done over the phone.

Each full session lasts 3-4 hours, giving time to go through a variety of poses and setups. It also allows for a relaxed atmosphere, giving time to feed and change baby, as necessary.

This is followed by hours of editing, ensuring a professional, finished touch. (Digital images are ready in 2- 3 weeks.)

Prints, albums, and canvases are of the highest quality, available only to professional photographers. The final outcome: beloved pieces of art, featuring your precious baby!

​

Do I need to bring any props?

Sometimes parents have something special that they’d like to have in a photo with their baby. While a personal item is welcome, it is by no means required. You will find my in-home studio to have a huge assortment of exciting hats, accessories, wraps, and unique props to choose from!

​

What kind of products do you offer?

Best images from the session are custom edited and presented in an online gallery with printing rights.

​

Depending on which full session you choose, all collections come with digital images (with printing rights) and prints. Larger collections come with custom made birth announcements and a gorgeous custom made book or album.

Newborn Session Checklist

​

What to bring:

~A pacifier. “Soothies” are very good.
~A couple extra soft blankets for baby.
~Extra burp rags.
~Something to eat and drink.
~Extra adult, if possible.
~Second extra adult to take any siblings home after their photos.
~Payment balance. 

​

What to do:

~Limit spicy, gassy and caffeinated foods 24-48 hours prior to session, if nursing.
~Try to keep baby awake 1 or 2 hours before session. A bath or naked time are great ideas!
~Loosen diaper 1 hour before the session. 
~Try to have baby fed and burped well right before coming to the session.
~Dress baby in loose clothing; nothing over the head.
~Thoroughly clean off any poop, ointment or powder before coming to the session.
~If planning on being in photos, wear solid, neutral colors: a white, cream or black short sleeve shirt is best for men; a white, cream or black tank top or short sleeve blouse is best for women. For a more artistic photo, men can have their photo taken without a shirt and women can choose to wear a stretch wrap from my studio.
~Wear cool clothes and possibly bring a change of clothes.
~Expect to feed baby more often during the session, to keep baby full and sleepy.
~No picture taking.
~Silence cell phones.
~Anticipate beautiful photos of your precious baby!!!
