First of all, congratulations on the new bundle of joy you are expecting. Becoming a parent is truly the most important and rewarding job you will ever have! Newborn sessions are so fun! Those sweet brand new little angels are perfect.
You will never forget the first moment you laid eyes on your daughter or the first time you heard your son cry.
These are truly magical moments. As much as we hope and pray they will stay little forever, they grow up anyway.
Those first Those first few weeks seem to fly by and each moment becomes a fleeting memory.
As a photographer, I strive to capture those first few weeks and turn the resulting images into a work of fine art to be treasured forever. Newborn photography requires a large amount of planning and an insane amount of patience, and you’ll be happy to know I will handle all of that :)
Custom photography is simply that… a custom
experience tailored to suit you, your style, your
personality and your needs. When I am
contacted for a newborn photography session
far enough in advance of the actual session date
that is scheduled, I have the luxury of ordering
pprops such as hats, blankets, baskets, etc that
are suited entirely for your session. You can not
walk into a cookie-cutter studio and expect
them to have a Dr Seuss hat to match the
theme in your baby’s nursery and even pair that
hat with a backdrop that fits your color scheme.
With custom photography (and enough time
bebeforehand!) that is entirely possible!
I can also guarantee that the “photographer” from your cookie-cutter photography session will
not be going home that night to spend many hours editing those photos, removing blemishes,
blogging about your session, and going the extra mile for customer #2634. Custom
photographers do! We spend many hours perfecting your images to create a unique gallery
that truly makes our clients’ personalties shine through; a gallery that will preserve an
incredibly important memory in your lifetime.
When was the last time you had portraits made
by a large chain studio and actually had the luxury
of not leaving your home? Or your photo session
including props that were custom ordered just for
your session? Did he/she seek to find out who you are,
what your style is, what your goal is with the session
ththey performed? Can you even remember the name of your
cookie-cutter in-store photographer? The answer
to all of that is probably no!
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 at please get in touch with me at your earliest convenience to finalize the perfect 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. Some mommies will still be recovering in the first 10 days - this is absolutely fine!From the comfort of your own home, you can have beautiful professional images! Heck, You can even wear your PJs if you want!
Once I arrive, I will need some time
to access lighting conditions and set up my
portable studio. This is usually the best time to
fill baby’s belly.
I start my sessions by taking some portraits
of your baby on a beanbag.
After that After that we will move on to some
relationship poses with Mom, Dad and
Siblings.
Some parents chose to be a part of the session,
others would rather relax and have the
spotlight on baby.
Completely your choice!
Once finished, I will pack up all of my equipment
and return your home to pre-session condition.
You get to cuddle with your little and
dream about all the beautiful portraits that
will soon be yours. I go through the
images from your session and select the
bestbest. Once I have the “final cut” selected
I will thoroughly edit each individual picture.
Your images will be ready for viewing within
two weeks. I will walk you through every
step of the ordering process and any design work.
You now have precious images
to remind you of the innocence of your
nnewborn, and captured what those first few days
of life were like. BLISS!
Most importantly, please do not feel the need to clean or tidy up your home before I
knock on your door. I’m a mom too, and you just had a baby…Throw your feet up and
snuggle with that little one! With your permission, I may need to move a chair or table,
but I promise I will put everything back to how it was when I arrived.
Please make sure the room or rooms are warm.. Your baby will usually have their clothes
off for most or at least part of the session so it needs to be extra warm.
YYou should wear lightweight breathable clothing since it will be very warm where we
are shooting. If you would like to be in some of the photographs we will shoot those
first before we get too toasty.
If possible, please keep baby minimally dressed but warm and wrapped in a blanket.
Just a diaper, loosely fastened would be perfect. Clothes, socks and diapers can
leave lines in their skin that would need to be edited out of baby’s photographs later
and clothing changes sometimes agitate baby.
I suggest that I suggest that your nails be manicured or cut cleanly as your hands may be in photos
holding your sweet baby. I also ask that you not wear any necklaces, watches or
long earrings since they may distract from baby, this goes for dad too!
If there are any special items such as a teddy bear, bracelet, hat, headband, blankets
made by or used by loved ones, helmets or uniforms [firefighters, military, athletes,
etc] please have them handy. I LOVE a photograph with meaning and will include
anything that you hold dear. I will bring a few props as well.
Please do not Please do not feel like you need to be ready to go as soon as I walk in the door! I will
need about 15 30 minutes to get everything unloaded and set up. While I am setting
up, feel free to feed baby so that he/she will have a nice full tummy when we start. It’s very
important that baby be burped well, also!
