 Newborn portrait sessions should be booked before your baby arrives.  Contact us today.

what to expect from me and important information:

Photographing newborns is my passion.  I spend a lot of time getting every little finger and toe positioned perfectly when photographing your little bundle.  First and foremost, it is important to me for your baby to be safe and look comfortable and peaceful in the photographs and to look like a piece of art.  I love to use color, but I try also to do a neutral tone with your baby as well.  I also love to find unique props to place the baby in so you can look back and see just how tiny they were.

When arriving at the studio, be prepared to just sit back and enjoy quiet time.  I will take over as soon as you arrive, undressing baby and getting him/her used to me.  I will feed baby during the session if you are not opposed to bringing a bottle (expressed breast milk or formula).  If you are exclusively nursing, that is perfectly fine.  We can take as many breaks as we need to keep your newborn calm.  Also, a pacifier is a great way to soothe baby during the session so feel free to bring one if your baby takes one.  Many newborns are gassy; to ease their discomfort I ask that you bring a bottle of Mylicon to the session just in case.  Mylicon is safe for the newest of babies.

I will play white noise during your session to mimic the sounds of the womb.

There will be accidents and I’m perfectly fine with that.  Almost every newborn I photograph does have an accident on my backdrops. I’m not a modest person at all and keep on rolling.  So please don’t worry about that.

Be prepared to spend between 3 and 5 hours (sometimes longer) at my studio.  I am a perfectionist and it takes me that long (even with a sleepy, sleepy baby) to achieve unique poses for your gallery.
