Newborn

When photographing newborns, it is best to take photos before they are two weeks old to have them look truly newborn. I always suggest that 7 days old is the best if Mama and baby are ready. It’s important to create a warm, safe and consistent environment for the photo shoot, and try to photograph sleeping babies for peaceful-looking photos.

When you come into the studio, it will be warm, so I suggest that you wear layers so that you are comfortable. The warmth will keep baby comfortable and sleepy. We will start with baby first, then parents and if you have other children, I highly recommenced that they come a couple hours after we start since it can be frustrating to them to sit and wait while baby is getting their individual photos done.

Additionally, I will have all sorts of wraps, and adorable outfits to dress your baby. If you would like to bring something special to photograph in or on, please feel free to do so but you are not required to. Newborn photos can take anywhere from 1-3 hours depending on how baby is. What I always say is baby is the boss!
