What to expect | Newborn session edition!
It is finally time, your newborn session is quickly approaching! Don’t stress though, I have almost everything covered for you! I have lots of headbands, hats/bonnets, wraps, & props we will use during the session. The only thing I ask is that if you have something specific you’d like to use for the session that you bring that in. I aim to make the session the least stressful time in the newborn stage because believe me, you’re going to need it in those first few weeks.
So not only have you decided to capture these precious moments of your life, but you chose me to do so! A few days before your session I will send out a questionnaire for you to fill out & a prep guide to help you for the session!
When you arrive in studio we will get started right away! Sometimes it may take baby some time to settle in and go to sleep & that’s ok, or some babes will come in and be fast asleep but no matter what, we will make it work. If you’re doing family or sibling shots, we will do those first. That way if dad or siblings need to leave they can! & not to mention the warmth of the studio, you’re going to want to strip layers mid way. After we do family/sibling shots we will then move on to just babe by themselves. I typically start with baby wrapped up in prop shots. Then once those are done we move on to unwrapping them and see how they feel about being stripped down! We will finish the session off with some naked poses to show off those baby rolls. This can be switched around, it all just depends on how babe feels about everything!
The length of the session will be based off of how well babe sleeps & if they need to eat. I aim to have you out of studio in under 90mins. If babe needs to eat more or takes more time to settle down, then the session may last longer but that is totally ok! So come on in and relax, really! Take a nap on the couch or catch up on Facebook newsfeed while I work my baby whispering magic on your babe!
