Preparing for Your Newborn Session

I am so looking forward to photographing your new baby.
My goal is to capture your love for one another and your new post baby life in an authentic and meaningful way. We will follow little one's needs and go with the flow. Newborn sessions can go up to 2 hours - this allows time for feeding, fussing, and diaper changes!

PREPARING FOR YOUR NEWBORN SESSION:
1. Crank up your heat to a temperature that might be a little above comfortable for you. Around 80 degrees is good. Newborns stay calm and sleepy when their environment is warm. 
2. Feed right before I arrive. This also helps keep baby calm and content. 
3. To the best of your ability (I know you just had a baby!) clear the space that we are most likely to shoot in of any clutter. That is normally the living room and bedroom. I am also more than happy to help clean with that w
hen I arrive. 
4. Dress your baby in something simple that you wouldn't mind in photographs and pick out a few back-up outfits as well. We may or may not use these. I am bringing swaddles.
5. Dress yourselves in something simple and nice - a little above casual is best, but don't worry about being "dressed up". Avoid logos. Simple, simple, simple. Black, navy, gray or white are always good neutral colors for the parents to wear.

take the pressure off of having a perfect photo shoot.
