Newborn Sessions




 Newborn photography can be so much fun – The photographer gets to spend some time with a new baby, and they don’t have the responsibility of getting up in the middle of the night for crying, and feeding. Newborn photography can be really difficult as well. Newborns are the ones who dictate the session. They pee, and poop, which can make post processing quite challenging. Here is some advice to consider when bringing your newborn to a session:
  • Make sure you set your appointment in advance before your baby is born. That way we can talk about what you can expect from the session, and what kind of ideas I can suggest for you, and your newborn.
  • It is better if the baby is 10 days old, or less. It will be easier to swaddle them, move them, or set them in certain positions. That is how I will be able to get the best photos, within those first few days.
  • Newborns take a lot of time, and patience to photograph. The session could be from between 2-3 hours.
  •  If a newborn is rooting, and not completely full, it will be very difficult to get the baby into a deep sleep. So I recommend that they eat before  coming to the photo session.  
  • Look into the possibility of having the session at your own place, let me know =)
