NEWBORN
Hospital shoot details for Hospital Photoshoots: Photographer will arrive within 24 hours of the birth during daytime hours 11:30AM and 5:30 PM. If a shoot is requested 24 hours after birth (example: 48 hours after birth) that may also be accepted but shoot will occur between the hours of 11:30 AM and 5:30 PM.
Please understand that even if the plan was to take photos of the baby entering the world through the birth canal, I may not be able to make it in time to capture that moment as planned in some circumstances.
How are my newborn sessions different from my other sessions?
-
I allow an extra hour tagged onto your session time for all newborn sessions. This is to allow nourishing and calming baby. If this still does not allow enough time we can always upgrade your photo package to allow more hours for your baby to calm.
-
My newborn sessions may be provided in the warmth of your own home, my home, or outdoors at a location. The location is up to the client.
Here are a few websites that offer proper Newborn photo attire, newborn photo accessories for baby (hats, bows, swaddles…), props/furniture, etc. to make your session completely unique, just like your little one.

PACIFIER * BOTTLE * BOOBIE
If your tiny one uses a pacifier, be sure to have it nearby .
​I would suggest pumping (if you pump) or making a bottle(s) before your shoot.
Having a ready to go bottle will help to reduce feeding time.
​Breastfeeding is no problem at all, whatever you are most comfortable with. I will even capture those sweet feeding moment for you if you would like that.
SLEEPY BABY
You are going to want to keep your baby awake for a few hours prior to your session, if possible. Having a sleepy newborn makes all the difference in your session/images. If your little one is alert during their session, it will make it much more difficult to pose your baby as most poses require that your baby be asleep. If you would like some shots while baby is awake and alert I can do this as well.
SPECIAL ITEMS
If you have a sentimental item that you wish to have incorporated into your baby's session, please feel free to have it nearby & I will incorporate those items into your shoot.
THINGS YOU MIGHT DECIDE TO INCORPORATE
Baby Blankets, Adult sized sheets, Stuffed Animals, Scarf/Breastfeeding Scarf, Items that represent mother or father's hobbies, too toos, angel wings, feather boas, neck ties for boys, crochet attire, head bands for girls, crochet hats, items that represent mother or father's job
I can also get Nakey Baby Shots. If you would like to start off with these we will want to have baby already undressed and fed to sleep.
GUESTS * SIBLINGS
Your husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend or other family member(s) are more than welcome to accompany you to the session but please keep in mind that I have a very tight working space so I would suggest bringing only those who are necessary. Siblings are welcome to join in if you wish to capture a few sibling shots. I save sibling shots for last. If a sibling will be attending the shoot please make sure to have the other parent or someone else around who can watch your other child/children until it is time for his/her shared moments.
