My newborn sessions are lifestyle driven and I like to photograph your family with the newest love of your life in posed and natural moments. For just baby images, I like to capture them in cribs and/or bassinets, on changing tables, on a soft blankets on floor or poufs, etc. while focusing on showing how tiny they are in those early days and their beautiful features such as eyes, nose and toes!
Your Maternity Session
Your maternity session is typically best between 28-32 weeks when many women feel like their belly has officially popped but they are still relatively comfortable. There are always exceptions to this so if you'd like to schedule your session earlier or later I'm happy to work with you!
Whether you love being pregnant or can't wait for it to be over, I can tell you that you'll be grateful for documenting this time before baby. There is nothing more magical than a new mama-to-be and you deserve to be celebrated and feel as beautiful as you are! Bring a change of clothes, show the belly off (or don't)! It's your session, let's make it fun!
SWEET NEWBORN BABIES.
Preparing For Your Newborn Session
For newborn sessions I know that their official birthday is hard to predict so I put your due-date on my calendar and then keep some room in my schedule to allow booking 2-4 weeks after their official arrival. I anxiously await the news from you that they are here once you're home and settled in a bit and together we find a date and time that works best.
For newborn sessions, I typically start those around 9 or 10 in the morning as I find it's the best time of day for mom and baby and the best soft light in the studio and most homes!
You can choose a swaddle, gown or outfit from my newborn closet for me to bring! You can also bring your own. I typically like to photograph baby in a neutral onesie, a gown/swaddle and/or any outfits that you love or are sentimental to you!
Newborn Closet Offering
Pick a color, any color! Beautiful, textured swaddles, gowns, bows and hats available to you in-studio or in-home. Just ask!
YOUR PLACE OR MINE?
IN-STUDIO
In-studio is a perfect option for a neutral backdrop and furniture with great light & snacks! In studio sessions include a bassinet, posing pillow and a small assortment of gowns/swaddles. You're also welcome to bring items and outfits that are sentimental to you!
IN YOUR HOME
In your home is a great option for feeling comfortable and having access to rooms and items that are sentimental to you. I do not bring props as I prefer to focus on what is natural to and/or sentimental to you and your home but I do have a few available gowns/swaddles for use.
IN-STUDIO OR IN-HOME NEWBORN OPTIONS ARE both great options and come down to what makes you the most comfortable and where the light is the best!
