FINE ART NEWBORN Pricing and information
2015
about
My name is Magda Christie and I am a natural light newborn photographer. I am also a mum of three and a wife. I will never forget the days when I held my children for the first time. These were the most wonderful moments of my life. It’s my great honor and joy to capture those memories for you. I have perfected my craft via specialised training and two years of practice. Your baby’s comfort and safety is my absolute priority. Every session is unique and I will spend a lot of time moulding your baby and perfecting every little detail to create art quality images detai I hope you’ll treasure forever.
my style My photographs are simple and organic with a touch of vintage chic. I style every setup with unique handmade accessories, using color and texture to compliment the final result. I like to focus on the baby and capture their beauty and uniqueness in a fine art manner.
what to expect
Newborn babies are best photographed before they’re 12 days old while they’re still sleepy and flexible. After two weeks babies are harder to settle and things like tummy pains or baby acne may appear. WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO BOOK A NEWBORN SHOOT? I am taking a limited number of bookings per month. You can contact me at any time during pregnancy to give me an estimated due date, I will then make a tentative booking to secure your place and when your baby makes an appearance you can contact me to arrange a suitable time and date for your session. WHERE WILL THE SHOOT TAKE PLACE? It will take place in my home studio in Rathmolyon Co. Meath where I create a very controlled environment focused on baby’s comfort and safety allowing for a succesful newborn photoshoot. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE? The newborn shoot is entirely baby led and takes between 2-3 hours Th allowing plenty of time for feeding, changing and comforting. Mum’s\Dad’s assistance is very welcome, as babies loved being reassured by closeness, voice and touch. HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE SHOOT? Please try to keep your baby awake 2-3 hours before the shoot. You can give them a bath, change their nappy, don’t give them full feed. We can top them up first thing after you arrive to the studio to make sure they get nice and sleepy. Please dress baby in a soft sleepsuit or other clothes easy to slip off. WHAT TO BRING? For the baby - please bring milk (be prepared Fo more than usual), change of clothes, nappies, and a soother. For mum and dad - please dress studio is kept warm to accommodate the baby. bring snacks and drinks.

faq WHAT KIND OF PROPS DO YOU USE? I style every session with luxurious handmade props and accessories (hats, wraps, headbands). All props are carefully sourced, made of organic, baby friendly materials and washed in a non-bio washing powder. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? After the shoot I select best final images. Every image is color corrected, retouched and digitally enhanced for subtle and timeless quality. The online proofing gallery is ready 2-3 weeks after the shoot. I will email you a link and a password to your own private gallery, please feel free to share it with your family and friends. Should you wish to order more products a la carte, the proofing gallery remains live for 14 days. CAN I BRING MY OWN PROPS? I prepare the styling prior to the shoot, as every photoshoot is different just like every baby is unique. If you have any special requirements or ideas, please discuss it with me prior to the session. WILL YOU ALSO PHOTOGRAPH MY FAMILY/OTHER CHILDREN? Absolutely, you can include all your immediate family If there’s toddlers you wish to bring with you, we’ll photographs first and there needs to be someone who’d them/bring them away as young children will get bored hour photoshoot. Please discuss siblings prior to the photoshoot.

WHAT TO WEAR? For a family photo neutral pastel colors work very well. Try to coco ordinate without matching exactly. Use one or two colors in the first outfit and then add neutral colors and few color pops to coordinate between the subjects. Most of all wear clothes that are comfortable and represent your individual style. Please avoid prints, logos, patterns.
