What To Expect – Newborn Session

Before Your Session

Each of my newborn sessions is highly personalized, so I like to work one-on-one with you to plan your session based on your personal style and how you plan to use your images. A pre-session consult is our time to go over the details, cover questions, and explore all the options together — including fun details like props and poses, your ideas for art for your home, and planning gifts for loved ones.

During Your Session

My sessions have a relaxed, unhurried pace to keep baby calm, happy, and safe. Your baby sets the pace with plenty of time for quieting, soothing, diaper changes, feeding, and cuddling. I like to shoot siblings and parent poses first so that we can concentrate on baby images for the rest of the shoot. The studio will be very warm to keep baby comfortable, so dressing in layers is a good idea.

After Your Session

Two weeks after your session it’s time for your big reveal! We’ll schedule a personal ordering session where we can review the beautiful images from your session and choose images for prints, albums, birth announcements, and all the other wonderful photo products available for decorating and sharing.

HOW LONG ARE SESSIONS?

Studio Sessions are typically 1.5 to 3 hours, so plan to make a morning of it. My Lifestyle Sessions are typically 1 hour in length.
