Why you should book with me?

Newborn sessions are an investment. Choosing a photographer can be overwhelming. I am here to help! The first thing you should do is to check out my portfolio. If you like what you see, you will like the results from your session. I have a specific style, which I achieve by using muted colours, a variety of simple props and simple natural posing. My goal is to make your baby look comfy and cozy like a baby should be. I do not do naked poses and I do not pose babies in the ways that look unnatural. I swaddle babies for most of my sessions and babies absolutely love it. I first hand know how exhausting it is to have a newborn and I promise you that I will make this whole process as simple for you as possible.

Why you need this session?

If you are ever going to spend any money on professional photography it should be a newborn session. Sadly I didn’t start doing newborn photography when my daughter was born and due to complications and long recovery, it didn’t even cross my mind to get any decent images of her done by professional. I am heart broken everytime I get to see other people’s amazing newborn images, but not have my own. So I guess it is my little mission in life to make sure as many parents as possible do book newborn session and have this memory. First few weeks with your newborn baby are not easy, especially if it is your first. Let me tell you that no amount of education, reading and practicing will get you ready for this little bundle of joy. It will hit you hard and you going to fall in love forever.

Few things to know:

Sessions are done on weekdays only. Some weekend availability sometimes is possible, but not guaranteed.

Please no extra visitors for a session, my studio is not large and I ask to only have people present that are participating in the session. If someone has to give you a drive or help out for any reason, please give me heads up. For newborn sessions both parents are welcome even if they are not doing family pictures.

Newborn sessions take up to 2 hours(sometimes longer , which totally depends on baby). I cannot say it enough, but baby’s comfort is my number one priority. We will take breaks for feeding, changes, cuddling and making sure your baby is happy. I will do my best to rock your little one to sleep and get cozy slightly posed images. I got few tricks up my sleeve and most babies will fall asleep. If your baby decided to stay awake, but happy, I take awake shots (secretly I love awake shots the most). Bring snack and relax for few hours. Some poses might require parents help, but for the most part you are welcome to take a nap on the couch.

I will have your due date in my calendar and make sure there is enough room to schedule session between 4-15 days since birth. Best age for newborn session is 5-10 days old. Contact me asap after birth or make sure someone does to book your appointment.

Studio will be kept very warm to make sure baby is comfortable. Make sure to dress for that. If you are going to be in the session (which I highly recommend) please wear black/white or neutral coloured clothing and coordinate with your partner/children.

Please bring formula/pumped milk, diapers, pacifier ( a must even if your baby doesn’t take one), snack for yourself. Make sure you leave yourself enough time if session runs a bit longer.

If you wish to include any special items in the session let me know in advance so I can plan for it.

Finally I know this is a lot to take in, but I want this session to be perfect and being ready for it is a half way to success. Please contact me for no obligation phone chat so I can answer any questions you might have.
