Newborns: What to expect: Expect the session to last around 2 hours, so that we have plenty of time for baby to get relaxed and happy. This allows for plenty of time for cuddling, feeding and diaper changes. Just before the session, baby should be well fed. Babies are usually photographed in their birthday suits, we need the area WARM so, please dress in layers. Photography sessions are held on location at your place, I bring my portable studio to you.
Most of the session is focused on the baby, but I usually take a few with the parents as well. If you plan to be in any photos, please wear simple, solid colored clothes. If the baby is really wide awake and does not want to sleep, I will swaddle the baby to get some photos, and have the parents holding the baby over the shoulder, in your arms, etc. By having Mom or Dad hold the baby for a few images, a fussy baby almost always settles down, and I love capturing the incredibly sweet bond between parents and child! I am happy to get a few photos with siblings as well.
Milestones: Your baby grows up in the blink of an eye. We can help you persevere some of those precious memories along the way. 3 months, 6 months, 9 months or anything in-between. Sitting, crawling or starting to walk all good opportunities for photographs.
Cake Smashes: Giving you baby cake for the first time can be very entertaining. Will they destroy the cake or simply just taste it politely. Cake smashes are often done to celebrate the babies first birthday however, they can be done at any age you want. You will need to supply the cake of your choosing or we can arrange to get a cake for you for an additional charge.
