Should I do a newborn session?
Newborn photography is a special way to capture the memories of your newborn baby. It is a time when your baby is so tiny and perfect, and you will want to cherish these memories forever. A newborn photography session can be done in a studio or in your own home. If you choose to have your session in a studio we will work together to find the perfect studio to rent that fits your style perfectly. I will provide props/outfits/wraps and those fun goodies you need to create beautiful photos of your baby.
Newborn photography sessions are typically done when your baby is between 5 and 14 days old. This is the time when babies are still very sleepy and easy to pose. If you wait too long, your baby may be more awake and squirmy, which can make it difficult to get sleeping or posed photos. Its not impossible to get them but it will be completely up to the baby and how they feel that day!
Posed newborn photography sessions typically last for about 2-3 hours, we will take plenty of feeding and cuddling breaks to ensure baby is comfortable for the session. The photographer will guide you through the session and help you to pose your baby. I would encourage you to bring anything that you want to include in the photos, such as your baby's favorite blanket or toy!
Here are some tips for preparing for your newborn photography session:
Book your session early. We will set the date as your due date and then once baby arrives you just reach out to me and we will finalize a date- ideally within the first 15 days.
Wash your baby's hair. Your baby's hair will likely be a bit oily after birth. Washing their hair before the session will help to keep it looking clean and fresh.
Dress your baby in comfortable clothes. Your baby will be spending a lot of time in different positions during the session, so it is important to dress them in comfortable clothes. Choose loose-fitting clothes that will not restrict their movement.
Bring your baby's favorite toy or blanket. Having your baby's favorite toy or blanket with them during the session will help to keep them calm and comfortable.
Be patient. Newborn photography sessions can be long and tiring, so it is important to be patient. The photographer will work with you to create beautiful photos of your baby, but it may take some time.
Enjoy the experience! Newborn photography is a special time to bond with your baby and capture memories that you will cherish forever. Relax and enjoy the experience!
