Newborn Sessions and How to Plan

You just found out you're pregnant! Shared the news with loved ones and are so so excited! You want ever single memory documented… but what are the first steps?

Let me help you! First off… huge Congrats! Welcoming a new baby into your family is such an exciting (and let’s be real) exhausting time. If your considering a newborn session here is how the system works.

Get in Touch

Feel free to reach out via email or on the socials like Instagram or Facebook. Let me know you're considering a session. I’ll get back to you shortly and send over info on studio newborn sessions, lifestyle sessions and the difference between the two. The goal is to make sure we are a good match for each other. I want my clients to feel educated in my process and choose me as their photographer because it is the style that they are dreaming about. If you find that maybe you're looking for something a bit different then what you are seeing on my social media or website then now is the time to make those decisions. Your precious moments are worthy of finding the right photographer for you. I am also completely comfortable referring clients if what they are looking for does not quite match my creative process.

Book It

So… you’ve made the decision! You want me to capture beautiful memories of this short slice of time in your families story. Take some time to cornice with me that you would like to book a newborn session. Yay!! At this point I will put you on my calendar for the time in and around your due date. Let’s be honest…babies will come when they are ready and that’s not always on time… sometimes early and sometimes later then the due date. That’s all good. In my books babies and newborn sessions take priority.

Let’s Dream

Your booked! I will send over a little info about how a session works. What to expect in studio. Best clothes to wear for a cohesive gallery. I will also send over a short questionnaire that helps me plan for things like colors that you prefer… this matters because when you hang those pictures on your walls in your house I want you to feel like it all works well as not only a memory but a piece of art in your home.

Baby Is Here!

Your day has come and baby is in your arms. Congratulations! Take a second… breathe, cuddle, heal. When you are ready send over a short email letting me know that your little one has arrived! At that point we will plan for a date and time that works best for you and baby. Generally the ideal time for the curly cuddly newborn poses is 5-14 days after baby arrives. That being said if healing is taking more time… then we take our time and plan for a later session and it will still be beautiful and stunning. It is always more important to be in a healthy space mentally and physically so that you can enjoy the process!

It is a privilege and joy to have you and your family in front of my camera. Your story and journey as a family is unique and beautiful and I want to capture exactly that. Leaving you with memories that are timeless and bring joy for years to come.

I hope you find this helpful! I wil be posting another blog shortly on what to expect for your Newborn Session coming soon!
