First of all, congratulations on the new bundle of joy you are expecting. Becoming a parent is truly the most important and rewarding job you will ever have! Newborn sessions are so fun! Those sweet brand new little angels are perfect.

You will never forget the first moment you laid eyes on your daughter or the first time you heard your son cry.

These are truly magical moments. As much as we hope and pray they will stay little forever, they grow up anyway.

Those first Those first few weeks seem to fly by and each moment becomes a fleeting memory.

As a photographer, I strive to capture those first few weeks and turn the resulting images into a work of fine art to be treasured forever. Newborn photography requires a large amount of planning and an insane amount of patience, and you’ll be happy to know I will handle all of that :)

Custom photography is simply that… a custom

experience tailored to suit you, your style, your

personality and your needs. When I am

contacted for a newborn photography session

far enough in advance of the actual session date

that is scheduled, I have the luxury of ordering

pprops such as hats, blankets, baskets, etc that

are suited entirely for your session. You can not

walk into a cookie-cutter studio and expect

them to have a Dr Seuss hat to match the

theme in your baby’s nursery and even pair that

hat with a backdrop that fits your color scheme.

With custom photography (and enough time

bebeforehand!) that is entirely possible!

I can also guarantee that the “photographer” from your cookie-cutter photography session will

not be going home that night to spend many hours editing those photos, removing blemishes,

blogging about your session, and going the extra mile for customer #2634. Custom

photographers do! We spend many hours perfecting your images to create a unique gallery

that truly makes our clients’ personalties shine through; a gallery that will preserve an

incredibly important memory in your lifetime.

When was the last time you had portraits made

by a large chain studio and actually had the luxury

of not leaving your home? Or your photo session

including props that were custom ordered just for

your session? Did he/she seek to find out who you are,

what your style is, what your goal is with the session

ththey performed? Can you even remember the name of your

cookie-cutter in-store photographer? The answer

to all of that is probably no!

Once you decide to schedule a session with me, we will set a tentative date based on your due date. I understand that babies rarely come when predicted and I will accommodate their personal plans for arrival. But a due date will give us a base line. Once your infant is born, please get in touch with me at please get in touch with me at your earliest convenience to finalize the perfect time.

“ Babies are best photographed in the first 10 days of their new little lives. ”

They sleep better, don’t have colic yet, and usually haven’t started developing baby acne or cradle cap. Some mommies will still be recovering in the first 10 days - this is absolutely fine!From the comfort of your own home, you can have beautiful professional images! Heck, You can even wear your PJs if you want!

Once I arrive, I will need some time

to access lighting conditions and set up my

portable studio. This is usually the best time to

fill baby’s belly.

I start my sessions by taking some portraits

of your baby on a beanbag.

After that After that we will move on to some

relationship poses with Mom, Dad and

Siblings.

Some parents chose to be a part of the session,

others would rather relax and have the

spotlight on baby.

Completely your choice!

Once finished, I will pack up all of my equipment

and return your home to pre-session condition.

You get to cuddle with your little and

dream about all the beautiful portraits that

will soon be yours. I go through the

images from your session and select the

bestbest. Once I have the “final cut” selected

I will thoroughly edit each individual picture.

Your images will be ready for viewing within

two weeks. I will walk you through every

step of the ordering process and any design work.

You now have precious images

to remind you of the innocence of your

nnewborn, and captured what those first few days

of life were like. BLISS!

Most importantly, please do not feel the need to clean or tidy up your home before I

knock on your door. I’m a mom too, and you just had a baby…Throw your feet up and

snuggle with that little one! With your permission, I may need to move a chair or table,

but I promise I will put everything back to how it was when I arrived.

Please make sure the room or rooms are warm.. Your baby will usually have their clothes

off for most or at least part of the session so it needs to be extra warm.

YYou should wear lightweight breathable clothing since it will be very warm where we

are shooting. If you would like to be in some of the photographs we will shoot those

first before we get too toasty.

If possible, please keep baby minimally dressed but warm and wrapped in a blanket.

Just a diaper, loosely fastened would be perfect. Clothes, socks and diapers can

leave lines in their skin that would need to be edited out of baby’s photographs later

and clothing changes sometimes agitate baby.

I suggest that I suggest that your nails be manicured or cut cleanly as your hands may be in photos

holding your sweet baby. I also ask that you not wear any necklaces, watches or

long earrings since they may distract from baby, this goes for dad too!

If there are any special items such as a teddy bear, bracelet, hat, headband, blankets

made by or used by loved ones, helmets or uniforms [firefighters, military, athletes,

etc] please have them handy. I LOVE a photograph with meaning and will include

anything that you hold dear. I will bring a few props as well.

Please do not Please do not feel like you need to be ready to go as soon as I walk in the door! I will

need about 15 30 minutes to get everything unloaded and set up. While I am setting

up, feel free to feed baby so that he/she will have a nice full tummy when we start. It’s very

important that baby be burped well, also!
