Frequently Asked Questions
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT NEWBORN PORTRAITS
Not sure about newborn photography? I get it- you’re about to bring a brand-new baby into the world and that isn’t cheap these days. I’ve tried to make the newborn photography process so easy for new moms. Let me answer a few questions that tend to pop up so you can see just how easy it is!
How soon should I book our newborn session?
It’s never too early! Contact me during your second trimester, around 20-28 weeks to hold your due date. I only take a limited number of newborns each month. Obviously you won’t know when your baby will be born unless you have a scheduled C-section, so I book newborn sessions for a window of time. Booking while you’re pregnant ensures that your due date is on my calendar. We will finalize the actual session date once baby arrives. If you’re already past that window, reach out as soon as possible; I may still be able to accommodate you depending on availability.
When is the best time to photograph a newborn?
For posed sessions, the sweet spot is typically 5-14 days old, when babies sleep deeply and curl naturally. They’ve had a chance to cuten up a bit but they are still super tiny. Plus mom has a chance to recover some before getting in front of the camera!
For lifestyle sessions, the flexible window runs from about 1-8 weeks old. So don’t worry if your baby is already older than two weeks! We can still get beautiful images, it just may lean more toward lifestyle and wrapped posing.
What if my baby arrives early or late?
Contact me within 24-48 hours of delivery regardless of timing. For premature babies, I schedule by adjusted age and will guide you on the right timeline once baby is home and stable.
What do I get with a newborn photography session?
● A one-on-one consultation so I can get to know your family and your vision for the session.
● Step-by-step instructions on how to prepare for the session
● Professional hair and makeup for you, mom
● Warm & cozy session filled with backdrops, wraps, hats, and headbands (you don’t have to bring anything unless you want to!)
● In-person design and ordering appointment, so you’ll have the perfect prints (instead of keeping them all on your hard drive)
Wait, did you say professional hair and makeup?
Yes, yes I did! I know how crazy those first days are after bringing home your baby. You rarely get the chance for a hot shower, let alone enough time to do your hair and makeup. You deserve to be pampered a bit, which is why hair and makeup is included!
What do you recommend we wear?
Each family that books with me will get styling help and access to my Client Closet for mama!
What if my baby doesn’t sleep?
Don’t worry! It’s incredibly rare for a baby not to sleep for at least a portion of our session. I have many tricks up my sleeve to soothe your little one back to sleep.
What if my baby has baby acne or a scratched face?
It is very common for newborns to have skin flakes, minor acne, or little scratches from their nails. There is no need to stress—I provide professional retouching on all your final images to ensure your baby’s skin looks its best while still looking natural.
How long will it take to get my photos?
I know you want to see those precious photos as soon as possible! That’s why we schedule your ordering appointment as soon as a few days after the session. Turnaround time from there is approximately one-two weeks.
What if I don’t want my baby’s photos online?
I understand that some parents don’t want photos of their little one online. If that’s your choice, no problem! Just let me know at your consultation.
Do you offer in-home newborn sessions?
I prefer to shoot newborn sessions in my small home studio—where I have full control over the lighting, temperature, and easy access to my entire collection of props and wraps. If an in-home session is something you feel strongly about, we can chat about the details to see if it’s the right fit for your family. There is an additional $100 travel fee for in-home sessions.
What if I need to reschedule?
Life with a newborn is unpredictable! If someone is feeling unwell or there’s an emergency, please let me know as soon as possible. We will work together to find the next available date that works for your family. Baby’s comfort and health always come first!
Can I decide after the newborn session to join the First Year Experience?
Absolutely! Many parents realize after their newborn session just how quickly these moments fly by. You are more than welcome to upgrade to the First Year Experience after our initial session. We will simply apply your newborn session toward the package and get your baby’s future milestones—like sitting up and the first birthday—on the calendar!
thank you! I look forward to sharing in this photographic journey with you!
