WHAT TO EXPECT

BEFORE

We will discuss your vision and expectations.  I will answer any questions or concerns you may have and we'll come up with a plan for your session.  Before your session, please check out my newborn outfit/prop options (here) and then prepare any outfit(s) and/or any props you may wish to use.  Before my arrival at your home, please make sure baby is well fed and dressed in clothing that is easy to remove so we don't disturb while undressing (sleepers work great!). 

THE DAY OF

After I arrive at your home and get settled, I expect you to... Sit back and relax. Nope, I'm not kidding.  Let me work my magic, playing dress up with your little one and capturing every detail! You are more than welcome to watch but you are also welcome to take a few minutes on your couch at home to relax which is a luxury for new parents.   

Usually, it takes 1 to 3 hours to complete a full newborn session.  Although no session is exactly the same, generally in that time, baby will eat 2 to 3 times!  They are being moved around and burning calories keeping warm so they'll need the extra energy - and likely some extra soothing from mom.

I would love to say that every session delivers perfectly posed photos in adorable little outfits but your baby is human and operates on their own schedule!  I promise that I will work as hard as possible to deliver as many beautiful images of your newborn - no matter the circumstance.  Also, they WILL poop and pee!  If they are naked, my props and backdrops are designed to be washed!  If you are holding them naked, they may poop or pee all over you.  You know what they say...  Sh*t happens.  

AFTER

Your edited photos will be available 2 to 3 weeks after your session.  They will be sent to you in an online gallery where you can download your high resolution images or order prints/products directly.  At this point, if you are interested, we should start planning the milestone session, held at 3, 6 and 9 months.
