Newborn Sessions

I’ve had a few inquiries about newborn sessions. I love doing newborn sessions! My style, however, could be a bit different than what you expect from traditional newborn photography. So, here’s some insight about what a newborn session with me will be like (and what it won’t be like).

During your newborn session, I probably won’t:

• Put a giant flower on your baby’s head,
• Photograph your baby as if s/he is suspended from a tree branch,
• Put your baby in a strange or unnatural environment, or
• Use unconventional props.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I’ve seen newborn images with all of the above done beautifully. It’s just not my style or preferred way of shooting.

Instead, for your newborn session, my goal is to:

Provide a way for you to remember those teeny-tiny, unique newborn features forever.

Capture the precious moments of your baby’s new life, as you experience them yourselves.

Document your new family in your own environment.

Some other things to consider when setting up your newborn session:

• Babies are at their sleepiest during their first two weeks. Let’s try to set up a session then, so we can get some good sleeping shots.
• Newborn sessions may take longer than the usual 1-2 hours. That’s OK. We’ll work around feedings and nappy changes, and all the other surprises bub might have in store for us.
• Life with a new baby is crazy, I know.  It can be tempting to write-off this type of session as “too hard”. Just remember that they’re only this tiny for a short period of time – and being as sleep-deprived as most new parents are, you might enjoy putting the photography into my hands, so that you can sit back and relax.
