FAQ
When should I book my newborn session?
I recommend booking your newborn session during pregnancy, ideally during your second trimester. I only accept a limited number of newborn sessions each month so I can allow flexibility around your due dates. Once your baby arrives, we’ll choose an exact session date based on their arrival.
How soon after my baby is born should I plan on having our session?
Newborn sessions are typically scheduled within the first 5–14 days after birth, when babies are often sleepier and naturally relax into those sweet newborn poses. Every baby is different, though, so please don’t worry if your baby is a little older, we can still create beautiful images together.
What if my baby arrives early or late?
No need to worry! Your due date simply gives us an estimated date. Once your baby arrives, just let me know and we’ll choose a session date that falls within the ideal timeframe. I leave flexibility in my newborn schedule to accommodate early and late arrivals whenever possible.
Are props included in my session?
Yes! Your session includes access to my collection of newborn wraps, outfits, blankets, props, and accessories. After booking, I’ll send you a questionnaire where you can share your preferences, and I’ll help create a setup that fits your style. I also include a custom name sign for your baby to use during their session and then take home as a keepsake.
What should I bring to my newborn session?
I’ll provide the wraps, outfits, blankets, props, and accessories, so you don’t need to bring a lot! I recommend bringing plenty of formula, diapers, wipes, a pacifier if your baby uses one, and anything your baby may need to stay comfortable. You’re also welcome to bring sentimental items you’d like incorporated into your images. An easy to refer to checklist will be provided before your session.
What if my baby won’t sleep?
Don’t worry! Your baby does not have to sleep the entire session for us to create beautiful images. I’m very patient and will follow your baby’s cues throughout the session. We’ll take breaks for feeding, soothing, and cuddling whenever needed. Some of the sweetest photographs happen during these quiet, awake moments.
What should we wear if we book family portraits?
I recommend simple, neutral clothing that keeps the focus on your family and your new baby. After booking, you’ll receive my newborn preparation and styling guide with helpful outfit suggestions and tips for coordinating everyone’s clothing. I’m also happy to help with outfit choices if you’re unsure what to wear.
How long does a newborn session take?
Newborn sessions typically take 2–3 hours and are intentionally relaxed and unhurried. This gives us plenty of time for feeding, diaper changes, soothing, and breaks whenever your baby needs them. There’s never a need to rush your little one through their session.
Newborn Safety
Your baby’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I use safe, supported posing techniques and never force a pose. I closely monitor your baby throughout the session and take breaks whenever needed. As a mom myself, I understand how important it is to feel confident that your baby is in safe, caring hands. If you have any questions about newborn safety or my policies, I would love to discuss them with you.
