FAQ
Do you pose babies and use props?
No, I do not do taco or frog poses with my tiny clients. In my newborn sessions, I celebrate the innate perfection and uncomplicated beauty of babies. I never place babies in unnatural poses; instead, I let them guide the session, ensuring a stress-free experience. I adorn them with gentle, neutral wraps and onesies, with the intention that you'll always remember your precious, tiny bundle just as they are – small and utterly perfect.
What should I bring to the studio?
During newborn sessions, I supply all the necessary wraps for the shoot, but you're encouraged to bring any blankets or hats that hold sentimental value for you. A comprehensive explanation of this is available in the 'What to Expect' packet, which I send to clients upon booking their session. For older babies and milestone sessions, I keep props minimal and in neutral colors. Feel free to get in touch with me, and I'll gladly provide further information.
How long is the studio session?
During newborn sessions, please anticipate a minimum of 2 hours in my studio. This extended timeframe allows for feeding, moments of rest, and diaper changes, ensuring your baby's comfort and contentment. In contrast, other studio sessions typically wrap up within an hour. Petite sessions take about 30 minutes.
When is the best time to take pictures of newborns
The best time to capture beautiful photographs of newborns is typically within the first two weeks of their life, ideally during the initial 5 to 10 days. This early period allows us to capture those precious moments when your baby is still in that delicate, sleepy state and has that fresh, newborn look.
However, every baby is unique, and I can be flexible to accommodate your baby's needs and preferences. Feel free to reach out, and we can discuss the best timing for your newborn's photoshoot, ensuring a warm and comforting experience for both you and your little one.
