What to Expect:
I only work with newborns in their home, which means I bring with me everything to create custom works of art for you. I will present a special selection of hand knit hats, cocoons, blankets and furs, baskets, and backdrops. A typical newborn posing session lasts about 4 hours when the baby is milk happy and deeply sleeping. It is best to photograph a newborn within the first 7 days of life, and typically never older than two weeks.
It is best to contact me during your pregnancy to discuss the details and so I can add your due date to my calendar. I will keep some dates open for you the week before and of your due date. It's important that I be notified very close to the day you give birth so that I can get you on the calendar for the few days after you bring the baby home.
There are two requirements my newborn photography necessitates:
Ample, indirect natural light. As a natural light photographer, I require a space in your home near a large indirect, natural light source (sliding glass doors, windows) that receive ample amounts of indirect natural light, (no direct sun-rays hitting the floor). I try to begin the session in the late morning, typically between 10:30-11:30. It is important that I know how much indirect light you get in your home, so please include this information when you contact me. I do bring 3 point lighting for cases where the given light is just not cooperating.
A very sleepy baby. My style of newborn photography requires your newborn to be deeply asleep. I need to be able to move their limbs, tuck their toes underneath their chin, slip cocoons and hats on and off with ease, and this type of physical stimulation can rouse a sleeping baby if they do not have a very full belly. It is important that I have the ability to swiftly move from setup to setup without stopping to work to put the baby to sleep again, which can otherwise eat up most of the day I am there. For most cases, formula is going to be the best solution as it is the heaviest for their little tummy. I understand that this may not be the way that you wish to feed your child, but I urge you to think about it for this particular day as it will help to ensure we get the best pictures possible. Again, this is only a best 'suggestion' for the day.
