BEFORE YOUR SESSION Interact with and keep baby awake for 1-2 hours before your session to ensure he/she is good and sleepy for the session. This is very important. Without this, we spend too much time getting them to sleep and not as much time photographing them. *Stimulating baby with a bath or by doing ‘naked time’ prior to the session are some tricksthat you can use!
Please make sure your little one has a full belly for the session. Please feed baby just before you leave for the studio. If baby is bottle feeding, please bring extra bottles and milk (formula or breastmilk) Babies work up quite the appetite being constantly moved around in the warm studio. *A full baby = a sleepy baby, and we need a very sleepy and calm baby in order to achieve the sweet, flexible poses you see in my portfolio.
Bring a pacifier (Optional but certainly helpful during the session) If possible, the ones that the hospital supplies are best!
Remove all bandages (from shots, etc) from baby’s skin at least one hour before arriving to the studio. These bandages cannot be removed in post processing and, if left on, will show up in the final images.
DURING YOUR SESSION The studio will be kept at about 80-85 degrees F to keep your little one warm while being photographed. I understand this can be quite warm,feel free to step outside if you need to!
AFTER YOUR SESSION A sneak peek will be posted on my facebook page within 72 hours (with your permission) and your gallery will be completed within 3 weeks. I will provide you with a gallery link for you to make your selections included in your chosen package. Once you make your selections, you will be given a code to download your high-resolution images and a cd will also be made and available for pick up.
WHAT SHOULD BABY WEAR? Dress baby in loose fitting clothes to avoid any lines on baby’s skin and to also avoid disturbing baby when getting undressed. A simple sleeper is best. Please avoid onesies or anything that has to be pulled off over baby’s head. *Your newborn will be photographed in his/her birthday suit for part of the session but we pay careful attention to ensure baby bits are not exposed in any photos. Clothes tend to be bulky and awkward.
