Newborn Sessions

What to Expect

We’ll spend your session in the comfort of your home, moving through several different spaces to capture beautiful, authentic memories of those first few weeks with your baby. Newborn sessions usually last anywhere from 1.5-3 hours, this accounts for plenty of time to settle, change and feed baby as needed, so please don’t stress if they start to fuss!

How to Prepare

  • Babies are happiest when they are well rested and fed. Please have baby fed just prior to my arrival to help them get sleepy (but no worries if we need to break for another snack!). Feed them in just a diaper and a blanket so we won’t have to undress them while they’re asleep.

  • Having the temperature a little warmer in your home can also be really helpful to keep them comfortable.

  • Please have 2-3 rooms in your home clean and clear of clutter, preferably the rooms with the best light but whichever rooms you want photos in we can work with! Usually the nursery, main bedroom and living room are the best for a good variety of poses.

  • A well styled session can make all the difference in how your images turn out. Be sure to coordinate and avoid bright colors and logos. Neutral colors and earth tones always look great. You can find a complete style guide here.

  • Most importantly, relax and be yourselves. Don’t worry about babies who fuss or children who don’t “cooperate.” Bring lots of love and snuggles and I promise we will create something beautiful!
