Newborn Session Information

When should I book a session?

The best time to book a newborn session is always before their birth! Typically at the beginning of the first trimester assure's you a session date.

how old should my newborn be?

Newborns do best for portrait sessions at around 7-21 days of life. Postpartum life is definitely challenging but getting your newborn photographed during this time frame is very important! Once baby has arrived I ask that my clients email me within 3 days to finalize the session appointment.

Where does the session take place?

There are a few places that I offer newborn sessions: In-home, studio, outdoor (warm months).

HOW do i prepare for my newborns session?

Here are a couple tips to help prepare your newborn for the session. You will want your newborn sleepy for the entire session, thats how we accomplish all those adorable cuddly shots, so having your baby well fed is exactly how we will want to get started. It is imperative that your baby gets a full feeding prior to the start of the session so we can optimize our time during your session. If your session is In-home please adjust your thermostats to keep the room or house warm, about 72-74 degrees. Secondly. if you could have all clothing, accessories, or props readily accessible. Lastly, when choosing an area in your home please provide a space free of clutter that has good natural lighting.

Can I bring props?

I do have a few simple and curated items for your newborn but you are always welcome to bring your own!

How long is a session?

Typically a newborn session will last 2 hours or less depending on a variety of factors pertaining to a newborn. Newborn sessions are a little bit longer in order to keep your newborn comfortable during the session!

Can family/siblings be included?
