BABY WELCOME GUIDE FOR NEWBORN PARENTS
TORI LEE PHOTOGRAPHY
HERE’S A LITTTLE SOMETHING ABOUT MY PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIO 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 angels are my muse.
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.
I LOVE BABIES 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 :)
WHY YOU SHOULD HIRE A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER When was the last time you had portraits made at a large chain studio and actually had the luxury of your photo session including props that were custom ordered just for your session? Did he/she seek to find out who you are, what your style is, what your goal is with the session they performed? Can you even remember the name of your cookie-cutter in-store photographer? The answer to all of that is probably no!
Custom photography is simply that… a custom experience tailored to suit you, your style, your personality and your needs. When I am contacted for a newborn photography session far enough in advance of the actual session date that is scheduled, I have the luxury of ordering props such as hats, blankets, baskets, etc that are suited entirely for your session. You can not walk into a cookie-cutter studio and expect them to have a lamb hat to match the nursery theme in your baby’s nursery and even pair that hat with a backdrop that fits your color scheme. With custom photography (and enough time beforehand!) that is entirely possible!
I can also guarantee that the “photographer” from your cookie-cutter photography session will not be going home that night to spend many hours editing those photos, removing blemishes, blogging about your session, and going the extra mile for customer #2634. Custom photographers do! We spend many hours perfecting your images to create a unique gallery that truly makes our clients’ personalties shine through; a gallery that will preserve an incredibly important memory in your lifetime.
TOO DARN CUTE
PREPARING FOR YOUR SESSION WHAT TO
EXPECT
Once you decide to schedule a session with me, we will set a tentative date based on your due date. Your $200 session fee wil be due the day of your session. I understand that babies rarely come when predicted and I will accommodate their personal plans for arrival. But a due date will give us a base line. Once your infant is born, please get in touch with me and we will firm up our date and time. Between 5-13 days old they sleep better, don’t have colic yet, and usually haven’t started developing baby acne or cradle cap. If you are a c-section Mom, we can work something out. I know that recovery can be slow and painful. Some of my clients send baby to the Studio with Dad.
BABIES ARE BEST PHOTOGRAPHED IN THE FIRST 13 DAYS OF THEIR NEW LITTLE LIVES
DURING YOUR SESSION Once you arrive I will give you some time in my studio to feed and sooth your baby.I start my sessions by taking some portraits of you and your peanut.
After that we will move on to some poses on my beanbag after which I will move on to photographing your newborn in the props that I have chosen.
AFTER YOUR SESSION 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 send your gallery to you, so you can pick your favourites! Then I meticulously edit each individual picture to correct any blemishes. I will provide a usage license so that you can print your images at the lab of your choice without any hassle. Your images will be ready for delivery within two weeks. You now have wonderful, precious images to remind you of the innocence of your newborn, and you have documented in a beautiful, meaningful way what those first few days of life were like. BLISS!
