FAQ on newborn sessions

The best time to schedule your session is before your little one is born. This way you can rest assured that your photo shoot will occur within 2 weeks of birth, the very best time to get the sweetest photographs! My calendar fills up fast and I only take on a limited amount of newborns each month. Let’s make sure that we have your session on the calendar before the birth so that you don’t have to think about it once the baby is born. Sending me a message is the best way to get started. Providing a $50 non refundable deposit will guarantee you a date.

Your due date will be your tentative session date so that we can be sure that you are on my calendar for that month. Once your baby is born and you are ready to go home, all you have to do is send me an email or give me a phone call and from there we’ll schedule a definitive session date and time within the first 5-10 days of your baby’s arrival. Once you book your newborn photo shoot session I’ll send you a detailed email with all the information you need to know including scheduling once the baby is here, what you can expect from your session, how to prep yourself and your baby and other helpful insights and tips.

The sooner the better! Newborns tend to stay sound asleep a few days after birth and because of this we are able to gently move your little one into sweet poses. After a couple of weeks, this is not as easy to do. After the 14 day mark babies begin to stretch and the poses won’t be as easy to accomplish. With saying that though I have learnt after being shut down from Covid that anything is possible. I have been able to pose and capture sweet little ones up to 4 weeks later so don't worry!

Absolutely! Photographing your little one surrounded by family is an incredible experience for everyone involved. I will make time for everyone during your session.

Your session will take 2 hours from start to finish. Pausing to allow times for feeding and changing. The atmosphere is very relaxed and comfortable and the pace of our session will be determined by the baby. I always say the baby is the boss!

If I have an opening I will absolutely make the time for your little one. Depending how big and how old your baby is we may have more of a lifestyle newborn session but those are just as special.

Your session will take place in your home! This way you don't have to have the stress of packing up and travelling with your new baby. I come to you, and we don't need that much room. As long as we have natural lighting and you supply the baby we are all ready to go!
