The window of opportunity for a successful newborn portrait is very small. I prefer to photograph newborns when they are about a week to two weeks old while
they are still bendy and super sleepy. It is best to book this session
while you are still pregnant, preferably a few months in advance as I
take a limited amount of newborn sessions each month. A newborn takes
about 2 hours to photograph, sometimes less if the baby is a good
sleeper. I provide hats, flowers/headbands and other accessories for
newborns, please feel free to bring whatever you’ve got also. I keep the
babies naked for the whole shoot, so bringing outfits is not necessary.
It’s also good when dressing your newborn to come to my studio, that
you dress them lightly, like in a onesie, so that we don’t have to
disturb them too much when taking them out of the carseat. And please
don’t stress about them peeing (or worse) on my stuff. It will happen.
And I will wash it. It’s not a big deal, I’m very used to it. I will
happily do laundry for the sake of cute pictures. Please add $50 for
each additional sibling in a newborn session, which includes pictures of
them together and some individuals picture in one outfit. Checklist
- lots of diapers and wipes
- extra blankets
- a binky (this is very helpful if they take one)
- a bottle with breastmilk or formula (this saves a ton of time if we can just feed them the bottle instead of nursing)
- a black long sleeve shirt for mom or dad
