First of all, congratulations on the new bundle of joy you are expecting. Becoming a parent is truly the most important and rewarding job you will ever have! Newborn sessions are my joy. Those sweet brand new little angles are my passion in photography. . You will never forget the first moment you laid eyes on your daughter or the first time you heard your son cry. These are truly magical moments. As much as we hope and pray they will stay little forever, they grow up anyway. Those first few weeks seem to fly by and each moment becomes a fleeting memory.You will never regret having a professional capture this moment in time.
J CBCJFT As a newborn photographer, I strive to capture those first few weeks and turn the resulting images into a work of fine art to be treasured forever. Newborn photography requires a large amount of planning and an insane amount of patience, and you’ll be happy to know I am good at both :) I am also a nurse on the OB unit at Methodist hospital so I have a lot of experience working with these special new babies.

QSPGFTTJPOBM QIPUPHSBQIFS For every newborn session I take time to put together custom looks and set ups. No two sessions are 100% alike. Newborn sessions are done here in my home studio. I have tons of props, hats, headbands and beautiful wraps to use during the session. My goal is to make the newborn photo session a relaxing time for you. Sessions are done within the first 4-14 day of life but don’t worry mom, you get to sit, relax and enjoy the session.
I encourage all expectant parents to book your seesion early! I only take so many newborns per month on my due date list.
Why do custom photography for your newborn vs a chain store? I want you to know I take time to get those perfect shots of your newborn. Please allow plenty of time to be here during your session. Getting that perfect shot means I want your newborn to be happy and content. If your baby needs changed or fed we will take that time. Average sessions last 1.5-3 hours depending on how your newborn is sleeping that day.

FYQFDU “ Babies are best photographed in the first 14 days of their new little lives. � The earlier the better for timing. The newer the baby, the better they are at curling up in those sweet newborn poses. Plus they tend to sleep better through all of the session.

EVSJOH ZPVS TFTTJPO We will start with images of just your baby. I will do a variety of set ups to capture different looks. I will do some shots of your newborn on different blankets and also some prop/basket shots for a nice variety. If siblings are going to be involoved they are welcome to arrive for the last 15 min of the session. There is an additional fee to have siblings included (no individuals of the siblings are done during the newborn session). I ask that siblings not be present the entire session since the focus is on the baby and I try to keep it quiet and warm to help us get a sleepy newborn. Siblings shots can only be done at the end due to the prep and set ups.
BGUFS ZPVS TFTTJPO Now you can go home and relax and dream about all the beautiful images that will soon be yours. I go through the images from your session and select the best. Once I have the “final cut” selected I meticulously edit each individual picture to correct co any blemishes. I will provide a print release (available on my website) so that you can print your images at the lab of your choice without any hassle. Your images will be ready to view online around two weeks. Previews will be online within 1-3 days of your session. I will email you with updates when your session is online. CD’s will include all of the images that appear in your online gallery that have been edited and touched up. CD’s are picked up here at the studio unless you live outside of the Des Moines area. There is a $5 fee to mail your cd if outside of DSM.
