What Should You Expect at Your Newborn Session?

Hello, new parents and parents-to-be! As a professional newborn photographer with over 5 years of experience, I know how exciting (and maybe a little nerve-wracking) it can be to plan your baby's first photo session. Don't worry - I've got you covered! Let's talk about what you can expect when you bring your little bundle of joy to my studio.

Timing is Everything (But Don't Stress!)

Okay, so here's the facts - those sleepy, curled-up newborn poses we all love? They're easiest to capture in the first two weeks after birth. But listen, if you're reading this and thinking, "Oh no, we're already past that!" take a deep breath. We can still get gorgeous photos of your growing baby, no matter their age. Every stage is beautiful!

Cozy Vibes Only

When you walk into my studio, I want you to feel like you're entering the world's comfiest living room. It's warm (babies love it!), filled with soft blankets and cute props, and designed to make you and your little one feel totally at ease. No stuffy studio vibes here.

What to Pack (Hint: Not Much!)

 Here's the best part - you don't need to stress about packing a million things. All you need is:

●     Your adorable baby (of course!)

●     Diapers (because, well, you know...)

●     A pacifier if your little one uses one

That's it! I've got all the wraps, headbands, and props we could ever need.

How It All Goes Down

Let's talk about the session itself. First - we follow your baby's lead. If they need a feed, a diaper change, or just some cuddles, that's exactly what we'll do. It’ll be worth the wait for those perfect sleepy moments.

Once your little one is in dreamland, that's when the magic happens. I'll gently pose them in those adorable positions you've been dreaming of. And don't worry - I'll guide you through everything. No need to stress about knowing what to do!

Family Shots and Cuddles

Want to hop in some photos too? Absolutely! Those sweet family moments are some of my favorites to capture. And here's a little secret - you might be surprised at how involved you'll get during the session. From soothing your baby to jumping in for candid shots, it's a real team effort. And trust me, it's a ton of fun!

Safety First (Always)

I know handing your precious newborn over to someone else can feel a little scary. But I promise, your baby's safety is my top priority. I've got special training in newborn handling and posing and have 12 years of experience working with children, so you can relax knowing your little one is in good hands.

The Big Reveal

A few weeks after our session, you'll get to see your gallery of images. Fair warning: you might cry. Happy tears, of course! There's something so special about seeing those fleeting newborn moments captured forever.

So, What Can You Really Expect?

In a nutshell, expect a laid-back, baby-centered experience full of "aww" moments, maybe a diaper change or two, and lots of breaks for cuddles and feeds. Expect to be involved, to witness some serious baby-whispering magic, and to walk away with photos that'll make your heart melt every time you look at them.
