How to Get Ready for Your Newborn Session

1.) A few months before baby is due, email us and book a session. Obviously the date is flexible since we don't know when baby will arrive for sure, but we need an idea of when they are due.

2.) Immediately after baby arrives, let us know and set up the date you wish to come. Please note, newborn sessions are held within the first twelve days of life.

3.) Most newborn sessions are done just in baby's diaper, but you are welcome to bring a special outfit if you like. If you want photos with any of our hats/diaper covers/cocoons/hair pieces/tutus/other accessories, etc be sure to let us know so you can take a look at what we have available. We also do custom orders, so if you have ideas we can accommodate that too! We will need to know this information at the very least, two weeks before the session.

4.) On the day of the session, make sure baby is well fed and diaper has been changed. The car ride should keep them calm and put them to sleep. These sessions work best when they are asleep!

5.) Come on in and settle in...it's time for your session and we're working on baby's schedule now!!

How We Keep Baby Safe

It's newborn safety week!! Check back all week long to learn the behind the scenes of your baby's first photo shoot!!

Here's how we take care of your newborn when you come for your photo shoot:

**We never put your child in a position where they could get hurt. We usually have them laying on a table covered in several layers of blankets so it is nice and soft for them.

**We always have an assistant right next to the baby so if they start moving around they do not get hurt

**When baby needs a break, we take a break. We always guess the session will run longer than planned because often times baby needs a break. We always put baby's needs first!

**We make sure they can not get hurt on any of the props

**We only do what mommy is comfortable with

**We have special equipment to prop baby up on when we need baby raised up a bit (like in the photo below...her shoulders and head are just slightly raised up)

**We never do anything that even comes close to being potentially dangerous when posing baby, even if mommy is okay with it--baby's safety comes first! We will never put anyone in danger just for a photo!
