FAQ
01. When is the best time to schedule a newborn session?
The best time for a newborn session is typically within the first two weeks of your baby’s life, as they’re generally sleepier and more flexible for natural posing during this time. However, I also offer newborn sessions for babies up to 6 weeks old—just know they might be more alert, and we’ll adapt the session accordingly. It’s ideal to book your session during pregnancy to ensure availability, but I will always do my best to accommodate last-minute inquiries.
02. What should we expect during the newborn session?
Newborn sessions are relaxed, with plenty of time built in for feeding, soothing, and changing breaks. We’ll work at a pace that’s comfortable for your baby, taking time to capture the sweetest, most natural moments. I specialize in organic, lifestyle-inspired posing, so there will be no forced or uncomfortable setups. You can expect a calm, peaceful atmosphere where we focus on capturing real, intimate moments of your baby and family in the comfort of your home.
03. Do we need to prepare anything for the newborn session?
For your session, it’s helpful to have a few things ready, such as extra blankets and your baby’s favorite comfort items. I also encourage baby be fed about 20 minutes before my arrival. I’ll guide you through everything else, including styling tips for parents and siblings, to ensure the session goes smoothly. I also suggest keeping the room warm (about 75°F) to keep your baby comfortable during the session, as we’ll likely be working with minimal clothing to capture those adorable, natural details. Sound machines are also incredibly helpful for keeping baby relaxed.
04. What if my baby is fussy or doesn’t sleep during the session?
No worries at all! Newborns can sometimes be fussy or have their own schedule, and I’m fully prepared for that. I work at a pace that suits your baby, allowing time for feedings, soothing, and breaks whenever needed. We’ll take it easy, and I’ll be flexible, capturing natural moments as they unfold. Whether your baby is wide awake or peacefully asleep, I’ll ensure we capture beautiful, timeless photos that reflect your baby’s personality and the special bond you share as a family.
