Typically between 7 and 10 days old, your newborn photo session will take place.

Please be prepared for a calm environment and relaxing time together. Newborn sessions can last anywhere from 1-3 hours, providing ample time to nurse as needed. These times also provide beautiful opportunities for intimate photos of mama and baby together. I may ask for occasional assistance from mom or dad to ensure the safety of your baby, but otherwise you are welcomed to sit back and unwind while I take over.  There will be snacks and water provided at the studio.

It is helpful to keep your baby awake just prior to the session so that he/she can sleep cozily during our time together. A warm bath just before is always a wonderful idea!  I also recommend a full feeding just before arrival. 

As with my family shoots, I recommend muted, neutral tones – cream, white, pale rose, grays and oatmeal. Layers and textures such as an open weave knit or lace are always beautiful choices. Dad’s look great in a fitted white or gray casual t-shirt or thin knit sweater.  Please try and avoid a crisp/pressed button down – you don’t want to look like you came straight from work to your session.
