What to Expect
Maternity, Gender Reveal, Pregnancy Announcement:
-Up to two outfit changes at an outdoor location to be determined after booking!
-Bring props with you such as ultrasound photos, baby shoes or necessary items for the gender reveal.
Newborns:
Before Your Session:
-Once you schedule a session with me, we will set a tentative date based on your due date. I understand that babies rarely come when predicted and I will accommodate their personal plans for arrival. But a due date will give us a base line. Once your baby is born, please get in touch with me and we will firm up our date and time. Babies are best photographed in the first 10 to 14 days of their new little lives. They sleep better, don’t have colic yet, and usually haven’t started developing baby acne or cradle cap.
-When we schedule your session, we will talk about what you are looking for. Are there specific poses you are looking for? For example, is one of you a Service Member, Fire Fighter or Police Officer, do you want your infant to be photographed with props that you will bring from home like a flag or helmet? Are there siblings that we want to try to include?
-Please do not feed your baby until I arrive at your home. This will give you enough time to feed the baby and sooth him/her to sleep once I arrive. The reason this works best is that if you feed your baby before I come he/she will start his/her sleep cycle before I get there. Not ideal. We want him/her to do that at once we start our session.
-It is always nice to have a pacifier. This will help me to sooth your baby in between poses.I have a white noise app on my phone if the baby doesn't use a pacifier so no worries!
- I photograph babies the way they arrived to this world, unclothed. Newborn babies just don’t fill out clothes properly. I have stretch wraps to cover your baby with if needed!
-What should you wear? Wear something comfortable. Keep in mind that I rarely if ever show anything below the waist in a portrait. So you can wear shorts, jeans, or whatever else you choose.
-I encourage you to have out any special hats, hair-bands, bracelets etc…. I bring props like headbands and hats with me but you may have something that means so much more to you!
-Please turn up the heat and provide the room with best lighting since I use natural light! Babies like to be warm, much warmer then us!
-Keep your little one awake for 1 to 2 hours before I get there as well!
-Try to plan feeding the baby for our set arrival time. This way we have the opportunity to try to feed your little one to sleep!
During Your Session:
-Once I arrive I will set up my Newborn Photography gear and you can feed the baby. A nice full tummy makes him/her sleepy and we can get started!
-I start my sessions by taking some portraits of your baby on a beanbag. I am going to get body shots and capture some of baby’s sweet details like her/his hands and feet.
-After that we will move on to some family poses. I will try to get my pictures with Mom, Dad and Siblings at this time. I will get a few photos here but this is not the idea age for family shots in general. When he/she can hold his/her head up you might want to get new family photos!
-After these, we will move on to photographing your newborn in the props that you have on hand!
-Images will be delivered on a disc within 2 weeks!
**All poses and props are not guaranteed. It all depends on whether your new baby cooperates!
