Newborn Welcome Guide
I am so excited to capture your sweet newborn. The newborn session will be done in the comfort of your own home. My style is a relaxed Lifestyle, which means that I will come into your home and beautifully capture this fleeting time in your life.
helpful Tips for your upcoming session with me.
Day Of The Session: When I arrive, I will walk around your home and scout out the best lit areas for family shots. I often use the couch, master bedroom, and nursery for photos. 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. This usually means that you will need a preemie or newborn sized onesie. I will likely take it off and get some nude or near nude newborn photos as well. Also, please gather a few favorite swaddle blankets for your baby to be wrapped in.
I recommend feeding baby 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.
Mom and Dad: You will likely be experiencing the highest highs and perhaps some of the lowest lows. Having a new baby is hard and wonderful all at the same time. Remember that I am a registered nurse specializing in labor and delivery, so I understand exactly what you are going through. I won’t try to make this time in your life look perfect; but show you just how beautiful it is. I want you to be relaxed while I am photographing your family.
Wardrobe: I recommend neutral colors and comfort. What is 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!
