Newborn Session - What To Expect

I love newborns! My goal during each newborn session is to capture the moments that pass by all too quickly during your baby's first months. Those sleepy smiles, flaky feet, and curled up positions.
In order for me to able to do this, I prefer to schedule all newborn sessions within the first 10 days of your baby's arrival.

I am more than happy to come to your home for these sessions. Please plan on a newborn session lasting between 1-3 hours.

We want baby to sleep as much as possible, so this may mean stopping for multiple feedings, diaper changes, and snuggles. Expect that your baby will nurse/bottle feed much more than usual during our photo session, as babies with full tummies sleep very well. If you are comfortable with nursing photos, please let me know so that I can capture some of those moments for you as well.

Because baby will be naked (unless requested otherwise) for many of the photos, and we want to keep him/her as comfortable as possible, I ask that you turn your heat up a few minutes before my arrival. If you are sweating in a tank and shorts, then the temperature is just about right :) Please let me know if this is not possible for you, and I will bring a small space heater.

Please have a black t-shirt available for mom/dad to wear if you would like any of the "hands holding baby" poses.

Remember to be patient and remain calm. If baby is cranky and/or not cooperating, don't worry! We have ample time to allow baby to feed and get comfortable. If you are stressed, baby can sense it. You may want to take this opportunity to spend time with an older
brother or sister doing something that they enjoy.

Absolutely NO other cameras are allowed during the photo shoot.
