I am so excited to capture your sweet newborn. Your custom newborn session is done in the comfort of your own home. My style is Fine Art Lifestyle, which means that I will come into your home and beautifully capture this fleeting time in your life.
Below, I’ve outlined helpful information for your upcoming session
Day Of The Session: When I arrive, I will walk around your home and scout out the best lit areas for family and sibling shots. I often use the couch, master bedroom, and nursery for photos. Trust me, I know what it’s like to have a newborn. Please don’t feel like you have to clean the house before I arrive. We can easily clean up an area that we want to use for photos while I’m there.
Your Baby: Your newborn is perfect just the way he or she is. I don’t try and make babies sleep or place them in unnatural poses. I suggest you
have your newborn in a simple onesie that is form fitting with no graphics or words. Also, please gather a few favorite swaddle blankets for your baby to be wrapped in. Also, if you have white sheets, comforter or blanket, this can provide a very clean and simple look as well.
I recommend feeding the baby as much as he or she wants about 15 minutes prior to my arrival. Newborn sessions can take some time, that is okay. Your baby is perfect as he or she is. I do not do major posing or have any expectation on how the baby should behave (alert or asleep). We let the baby guide the session. What is important is that we capture this beautiful time in your life.
Siblings: I usually try and get sibling and family photos right at the start because the sibling may lose interest in me quickly. I have no major expectations for the siblings and will never force them into doing anything they aren’t comfortable with.
Mom and Dad: You are going to be thrilled and exhausted. Having a new baby is hard and wonderful all at the same time. My job is not to make this time in your life look perfect; my job is to show you just how beautiful it is. I want you to be relaxed and at ease while I am photographing your family. You don’t need to be anything but yourself.
Wardrobe: I recommend neutral colors and comfort. What is most important is that you are comfortable.
Feel free to email with any questions you might have. Thank you, and I look forward to capturing you soon!
