Newborn Sessions

Newborn sessions are my joy. Those sweet brand new little angles are my muse. Photographing them makes my day and I just can't get enough of that sweet newborn scent. Why someone has not thought to bottle it up for sale is beyond me! I spend some time every day learning to perfect my craft. Hopefully this little section will help you to prepare for your session.

 Booking Your Session

  Once you decide to schedule a session with me, we will set a tentative date based on your due date. I understand that babies rarely come when predicted and I will accommodate their personal plans for arrival. But a due date will give us a base line. Once your infant is born, please get in touch with me and we will firm up our date and time. Babies are best photographed in the first 10 days of their new little lives. They sleep better, don’t have colic yet, and usually haven’t started developing baby acne or cradle cap.

 The Session

  The session will take place in the comfort of your home. Once the session is booked we can discuss the layout of your home. The images look best with lots of natural light so I will open blinds and curtains to let that light shine. 

  Just before the session, baby should be well fed. If you can hold off feeding till I arrive please do (if you can't please do not worry, I know what a hungry baby sounds like and no one should put their selves through that!). The session will take a journalistic approach and follow you adoring your sweet baby throughout your home. Feel free to bring out special personal items you would like to incorporate as well. Expect the session to last approximately 2 hours, so that we have plenty of time for baby to get relaxed and happy. This allows for plenty of time for cuddling, feeding and diaper changes.

  I am always happy to get photos with siblings as well. I love to take some family images of everyone cozied up in bed, a simple made bed will help provide beautiful images. Please be sure to remove clutter from the room especially on the bedside tables, this will help the session move smoothly. Please also feel free to let me know if you have any special shots you would like to have taken during your session.

 After Your Session

  Sit back and relax! I’ll be hard at work editing your images and choosing the best ones to present to you. I know you’re anxious, so I will provide you with a sneak peek of what I captured within a few days of your session. You will find your sneak peek on my Facebook & Instagram page where you can tag yourself and share with family members. Approximately 2 weeks after your session, you will receive an email from me with your gallery. Here you will find approximately 40-60 beautifully edited images from your session. Please feel free to share your gallery and password with family and friends!

 Thank you so much for allowing me to photograph your new bundle of joy. I hope you will enjoy these precious moments for a long time to come!
