WHAT TO EXPECT:
This is a lifestyle session focused on documenting the family, and baby’s time at home shortly after their arrival on Earth. I aim to capture all the sweet new details of the baby in a relaxed and documentary session without props, or posing. I recommend casual wear for these images.
TIME:
I prefer to come to these sessions during “quiet” time. This is typically between 2-4 PM. Although, since this is an On-Call session, sometimes my schedule does not allow this, and I do try my best. Sessions typically take 45-60 minutes.
YOUR ROOM:
Your beautiful baby hasn’t learned how to regular his/her temperature yet. You’ll notice that often baby is swaddled in many layers for this reason. Since I will be un-swaddling your little one at some point during the session, please warm the room up just a little bit. No cold air should be blowing during the session.
FEEDING:
The most important part of the session is feeding.
Being a new mom or even having another baby is overwhelming on its own. We will need to give your little one a full feeding as close to us starting as possible. The helps your baby remain calm and happy throughout our session.
VISITORS:
Please keep all visitors to a minimum for our session. I will be pretty quick since this is a documentary session. Of course, immediate family, such as siblings, are strongly encouraged to be included in these sessions.
ADDITIONAL PREPATATIONS:
– Make sure baby room and/or bedroom is clean, organized, and ready for session.
– Prepare any wanted baby outfits and/or items.
– Lay out matching sibling outfits, or outfits that go well together.
– Notify me soon after baby is born so we can prepare and make arrangements for your session.
– Father should ideally wear color neutral shirt that has no logo. (White, grey, or black)
– Mom can be in whatever she feels best. (Prefer light neutral colors) Robes or yoga pants are absolutely perfect.
– Keep windows unblocked for optimal lighting. Colored curtains casting color through the room can be problematic. White or neutral colored window decor is always best, if possible.
