NEWBORNS

Welcome & Congratulations on Your New Bundle of Joy!
Thank you so much for considering me to capture these precious early moments in your baby’s life. Newborns grow so fast, and having beautiful images to cherish forever is something I’m honored to help you create. Let’s make sure your session is comfortable, relaxed, and filled with love.
Here's How It Works:
1. Let's Get to Know You & Your Newborn
Before booking your session, I’d love to hear about you, your little one, and your vision for the shoot! Whether you want something classic and simple or something more personalized with props or family involvement, I want to ensure that your session reflects your unique style and personality. This is a time to chat about colors, themes, and any ideas you may have. I also want to discuss your baby’s sleep patterns and any special requests you might have.
2. Booking Your Session
Newborns are typically photographed within the first 7-14 days after birth, so it’s important to book your session in advance to ensure availability. To secure your spot, I require a 20% deposit at the time of booking (this goes toward your session's total cost). Once you’ve booked, we’ll tentatively set a date, and I’ll be on standby to schedule based on your baby’s arrival.
The remaining balance is due the day before the shoot. As with all my sessions, no sneak peeks or final photos will be delivered until full payment has been received.
3. Flexible Scheduling for Your Newborn
Because babies can arrive earlier or later than expected, I leave room in my schedule to accommodate last-minute changes. Once you’ve given birth, simply reach out within the first 48 hours, and we’ll confirm the best date and time for your session. Flexibility is key for newborn shoots, so we’ll work around your baby’s sleep schedule and comfort.
4. Preparing for the Session
Newborn sessions typically take 2-4 hours, as babies need time to sleep, eat, and be soothed. I’ll work at your baby’s pace, ensuring they are comfortable and relaxed. We’ll also discuss any outfits, props, and backdrops in advance, and I’ll provide guidance on how to prepare (e.g., dressing your baby in loose, comfortable clothing for easy changes, bringing bottles if you're nursing, etc.).
I will have everything needed for the shoot, including blankets, wraps, and props. However, if you have personal items you'd like to include, like a favorite stuffed animal or a family heirloom, feel free to let me know.
5. The Newborn Photo Session
On the day of your session, my goal is to create a calm, soothing environment for both you and your baby. I’ll guide you through the process, making sure everything feels natural and stress-free. My studio is fully equipped to handle everything from feeding breaks to diaper changes, and I’ll always ensure your baby’s safety and comfort. I’ll capture your little one in both posed and lifestyle shots, and if you wish, we can also include family members or siblings for some truly heartwarming moments.
6. Delivery of Your Photos
You’ll receive a sneak peek of your newborn’s photos within 2-3 days after the session, shared on Facebook (unless we have discussed otherwise). Your fully edited gallery will be ready within 14 days, though I typically finish sooner. Every photo is carefully edited to highlight your baby’s beauty and unique features. Once ready, I’ll send your gallery electronically via a Dropbox link for easy access and downloading.
Thank you for considering me to capture these first moments with your little one. I can't wait to meet you and your baby! Let’s create memories that will last a lifetime.
