NEWBORN SESSION TIPS:
// Reach out to your photographer during your pregnancy, around the second trimester. I like to get your due date on my calendar and then we’ll solidify a specific date and time once babe arrives.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
// Dress is neutral or earthy tones. These colors are always the most timeless and photograph really well. Those soft, creamy, tones are the best!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
// Try to feed your baby shortly before your session. This way they’ll have a full tummy and hopefully be getting sleepy. However, babies are unpredictable, so if you have to feed them during that session that’s alright too. I’m a momma, so I understand the unpredictability, hormones, and all that newborn entails. We’ll just go with the flow of your babe.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
// Babies typically photograph best swaddled or in a snug sleeper. This way they feel warm and cozy and allows me to slowly unwrap them so that we can see their little features such as fingers and toes.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
// I like to photograph in your home wherever has the best natural light, typically the living room, nursery and/or master bedroom. Don’t feel like you need to clean your whole home, I’ve done sessions in one little corner and created beautiful images. Just trust your photographer with this one!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
// Your photos are about your connection and savoring these moments with your baby. Relax and enjoy this time. I’ll give suggestions and help with posing in order to get the best angles, but more than anything I just want to give you time to breathe in these newborn days. Stare at your little babe, sway with them, give them kisses, and stroke their little face. Babies don’t keep forever.
