More About Newborn Photography
The best time to photograph newborns is within the first three weeks of your baby’s arrival. Why? They’re sleepy and still super curly and mouldable, which makes for perfect, safe and sweet little poses. If you’ve missed this window of time, don’t stress – older babies can be accommodated as well. It is best to book this session while you are still pregnant, preferably about a month or two in advance. I do keep myself flexible for newborn arrivals but booking in advance does ensure my availability.
Newborn sessions take place in our warm and cozy studio, which is fully equipped with everything that’s needed for your shoot – props, blankets, and even outfits. If you’d like to incorporate a unique prop or item in your session, please bring it along! The style and theme of your newborn session is something we can start planning early on. I make it a point to design the shoot with your vision in mind to match your home and nursery’s colours and decor.
Prior to your session you will receive a questionnaire that will help me prep the style of the session with your colour choices, home decor and overall style. You will also receive a guide on how you can prepare yourself and your newborn for the session – for example, clothing choices, food aversions, etc.
Throughout the photo session I’ll be working closely with you and your newborn to make sure you get images that best portray the connection between the two of you. During your session, we’ll work together to customize your session to your personal tastes.
And finally, your comfort is my priority. As a certified and insured newborn photographer, you can rest assured that your baby will be in safe hands throughout the entire photo shoot. I’m trained and licensed to handle newborns in a safe manner. To help set the tone for a relaxing and comfortable session, I include complimentary refreshments and snacks in the studio lounge. Since these sessions can take up to four hours, I invite you to make yourself at home!
