What I like to tell all new moms is this – “Just get here, I will do the rest!” I have a nice comfy couch in the studio where you can relax, take a nap, whatever you would like, during the session.

I fully wash everything after each session. This is the nature of newborn photography. ???? I will work slowly. Keeping the baby in a full, deep, sleep is necessary to get those adorable poses. Please clear your schedule for up to four hours. The session may not take this full time, but I always clear my calendar for it. The baby may wake during the middle of the session and need a second feeding. That is okay. I am patient, we work on their schedule. If you have anything you would like in the pictures, please bring it with you. If you know ahead of time the colors of any props you will be bringing, I would love a heads up so I can have coordinating backdrops / blankets pulled. Think about anything that is special to you, your significant other or family. If dad is in a uniformed profession – we can incorporate a piece of that. If someone gave you a blanket that means something special, bring it. If you have accessories you just LOVE, we can incorporate those too. These pictures are once in a lifetime, I want them to fully reflect the nature of the family this new and sweet little life has been blessed into. ???? If you have any questions or concerns at any time before, during or after the session, please do not hesitate to ask. I want every parent to be 100% comfortable the entire time. This session is reserved specifically for the newborn being photographed. While I love all children, please make arrangements for siblings to stay with family or friends during the session. Newborn photography is a very specialized type and requires my full attention and a quiet environment. Thank you for understanding.
