NEWBORNS
My newborn photography sessions are thoughtfully designed to celebrate your growing family's love and capture those invaluable moments. Within my well-equipped studio, we'll utilize an array of props to tailor a session that reflects your unique style, ensuring each session is as special as your baby.
This guide will provide essential insights to help you make the most of your newborn session. From preparation tips to styling advice and a glimpse into the process, I aim to create a genuine portrayal of your family. My passion lies in capturing those fleeting instances of perfection. Depending on your package, you'll receive a watermarked proofing gallery to select your favorite images, and even have the option to upgrade.
FAQ:
When should I Book?
Since your baby's arrival will likely be unpredictable, I recommend scheduling your newborn session 12-16 weeks before the due date.
How old should my newborn be photographed?
I prefer to photograph babies when they are 5-16 days old, as this is the prime time for newborn sessions when they tend to sleep more. Unless the baby is a premie, 16-30 days.
The "Golden Window" for Posing: Newborns are more likely to sleep deeply and be in a peaceful, relaxed state during the first 16 days. This makes it easier to photograph them in those serene, curled-up positions that mimic their fetal position. As they get older, they become more alert and harder to pose for those iconic newborn portraits.
Can I request specific setups?
You can make requests for specific poses or setups based on the package you select. However, please understand that I prioritize your baby's safety and comfort, and some poses may not be suitable for newborns.
When should I notify the photographer baby has arrived?
24-48 hrs
I'll make arrangements to accommodate your newborn. If your bundle of joy arrives earlier than expected, Newborn sessions are scheduled on weekday mornings only and can last up to 3 hours.
Are siblings permitted to attend a session?
For the success of the session, I ask that, if possible, only adults attend, as babies require a quiet space to be photographed while sleeping. A maximum of 3 adults are permitted. Additionally, I kindly request that any children younger than 6 years of age not attend the session, unless they are participating in the session. Please ensure that if this is the case, you bring reinforcements, snacks, tablets, or anything to keep the little one(s) occupied. Maintaining a quiet environment is crucial for capturing your newborn's photos while they peacefully sleep.
Do you share images on social media?
I love to provide a sneak peek of your session if time permits. Additionally, I may use images from your final gallery on my social media, website, or blog for promotional purposes. If you prefer not to have your child's images shared in this way, please let me know before the session.
How long is your turnaround time?
I require 15 business days to curate your images.
