I offer three different newborn sessions. Those sessions are: in studio newborn only, in studio family+baby, lifestyle newborn.
In studio newborn photo sessions are done in my home photography studio. You can elect to have the entire family involved or just baby! These are typically done between 7-14 days after birth but can be done later if needed! While in studio we want baby as sleepy as possible. Baby should be fed right before the session. I will have the heat up and a sound machine playing to hopefully help them sleep better. During the in-studio shoots, baby will be swaddled and also naked. Baby will be posed in a variety of poses depending on how sleepy we can get them. I offer a variety of swaddles. I like to keep my in-studio newborns very simplistic to make sure baby is the focus! I do have a few props such as headbands, hearts, and teddybears. You are also welcome to bring in any props or outfits that are special to you!
Lifestyle newborn shoots are done in the family’s home, typically in the baby’s nursery or parent’s bedroom. This is a much more relaxed and natural version of newborn shoots. This session includes everyone in the family. While doing these shoots in the first couple of weeks after birth is best, it is not as necessary because we are not posing baby like in the studio photos. These photos are more candid. I love to include photos of the nursery details as well. I will still bring a few swaddles, headbands, and props.
