It is best to book your newborn session while you are still expecting. It is never too early to choose a tentative date (about a week after your due date). If baby comes early or late , you’ll get priority for rescheduling.
Newborn sessions are most successful when done in first 4-14 days. Most of the cute poses are done while baby is sleeping deeply. The session is usually about two hours. All outfits and props are provided.
Family and siblings portraits are done first and afterward I focus on baby. I recommend all family members wear a neutral color palette for a timeless look.
In the hour leading up to your session I ask that you keep your baby awake. This is a good time to give baby a bath and let them relax in only a diaper. In addition, please feed the baby before we start a session. If the baby is using a pacifier please have it with you, it is a great tool and often helps soothe babies into the poses we want and makes for easier transitions and getting them to sleep.
