Welcome Guide | Newborn
You're here! And, I'm so glad you put in the work to find the best newborn photographer for your new little one.
These moments are so fleeting - your newborn's chubby cheeks and tiny toes. Can I capture them for you? Can I help you decorate your home with the ones you love most?
Your little one's safety is so important to me! I have been specifically trained in the art of posing and safe handling of newborns to ensure that your baby is safe during our session. I want you to feel comfortable with me holding and calming your precious baby during their photoshoot.
Please contact me with any additional questions. I look forward to photographing you!
Scheduling Your Newborn Session
I recommend that you schedule your session before baby is born to make sure we are able to photograph your newborn in those first precious weeks. At this point, we schedule a tentative session date based on your estimated due date.
Once you're on the calendar (or if you want to be fit in), I ask that my new mamas contact me within a few days of baby being born to ensure that I can schedule your newborn photography session within two weeks of baby’s birth. During this time, they are the sleepiest and we are able to get those squishy baby images that we all love.
Plan that your newborn session will take approx. 1-3 hours.
Petite Newborn | 1 hour | Premium & Deluxe Newborn* | 2 hours
*If you would like photographs with siblings or parents, please schedule the Premium or Deluxe Newborn Session. Neutrals and earth tones are best for family shots.

The Day of Your Newborn Session
PROPS:
I provide everything we will need for your baby's photography session (e.g., props, wraps, hats, and headbands). I will style your little one's newborn session using your preferred colors and inspiration images, as well as providing all props, wraps, headbands, and hats. You are welcome to gather any specialty items or personal props. NAPPING & FEEDING BABY: It's a good idea to keep baby awake for an hour or so prior to the session and try to time feedings so that baby eats when we (my assistant and I) arrive at your home. Babies with a full tummy are usually nice and sleepy. This will, hopefully, ensure they are sleepy throughout the session. That being said, I do realize that life with a new little one is not an exact science. Babies eat when they're hungry and sleep when they're tired. Please don't put too much pressure on yourself or your little one to time feedings or naps. I want this time to be as peaceful and stress-free as life with a newborn can be. |
FAMILY:
If you're planning to include family into your newborn session, just let me know. I love being able to capture you, as a new family, along with your sweet little one. Here's what you can expect! We'll do a combination of posed and storytelling images. I may ask you to snuggle together on your bed or couch. We may rock baby standing in front of a large window. You'll cuddle and kiss your new little one, as well as give me a few smiles. |
Given the current health crisis, I want you to know that the safety of your family and my own is my top priority. Because of this, I am fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Additionally, I will wear a mask for the duration of the session (at parent's request) and sanitize throughout.
After Your Newborn SessionFollowing your newborn session I will post a sneak peek on my Facebook or Instagram page.
You will have the opportunity to view session proofs, via online gallery, approximately one week after your session. Your gallery will remain open and available for ordering for 5 days. Products will arrive within 3 weeks of your order being placed. Do you need a little extra help making your ordering decisions? I am also available to meet with you for an in-person ordering appointment. Ordering sessions are available upon request and held by appointment only. |
