NEWBORN SESSIONS

Recommended for babies 5 days to 14 days old.

Your Newborn Photo Shoot:

I’m thrilled you are considering me as your newborn photographer. I’ve been working full time with newborns since 2013 and it is such a joy for me! In fact, I don’t photograph other genres of photography, just babies and I see 2-3 newborns a week! They keep me very busy!

I am trained in newborn safety and you can rest assured that your baby will be given the ultimate care during this session.

I hear from many clients that the experience of newborn photography at my studio feels like the first opportunity to truly celebrate their baby after delivery. I love to hear that!

The environment at my studio is very calm. The scenes that we will be working on will already be set before you arrive. The session time is all about your baby and you. Some sessions are fast, some are slow, and it’s all perfect.

No matter what package you select, the focus will be on beautiful portraits that highlight all your baby’s newness. We will set classic scenes that will still be in fashion 10 or 20 years from now.

I look forward to meeting you soon.

 Frequently Asked Questions about Newborn Photography:

When should I schedule my newborn session? Ideally, you should reserve a spot in my calendar 3-4 months before your due date, however, I hold a few open spaces a month, so please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have already had your baby.

How can I arrange a newborn session if I don’t know when the baby is going to arrive? You can make a reservation for your newborn session based on your due date. Babies rarely arrive on their due date, and I plan for that. Once your baby arrives, we will arrange the actual session date and time.

What should I expect during the session?

On the day of the session, you will arrive at the studio, which will already be organized for your session based on ideas you share and color choices (don’t worry, I can also do this without input. I love to be creative). The studio is equipped with all the necessary props, blankets, and accessories needed, but you are welcome to bring special items from home.

During the session, I will gently pose the your newborn in various setups. The session typically lasts a few hours to allow plenty of time for feeding, soothing, and capturing a variety of poses.

What should I bring?  All you need to bring is your baby!  My studio has everything else needed for the session. Baskets, swaddles, and all of the props are here in my 2000-square-foot studio. 

How do I pick my images after the session? One week after the session, you will be sent an online gallery to your email. You will be able to select your favorite images from 40-60 minimally retouched images (the number of images in your gallery depends on your selected session).

Once you select your favorite images, they will go through a final retouching process. Once the retouching is completed, a private online gallery will be created for you, I call this your “Final Gallery”.

How long does it take to get my Digital Images? Your Final Gallery will be ready two weeks from the day you select your favorite images from your selection gallery.

Can I buy more images than what is included in the package?

Yes, additional images are available! You are welcome to buy more than the images in your session package.
