Once your session is booked, I’ll mark your estimated due date on my calendar. I keep my weekdays open for newborn sessions (although weekends are also doable!) so we shouldn't have any trouble finding a time to schedule your newborn session. When your baby arrives, just give me a call as soon as you can and we can lock in a time and date within the next week or two! 

There are a few tips I’ll communicate to you in the leadup to your newborn session, but essentially, your job is to simply show up as you are. Be ready to snuggle your new family member, and to be in some of the shots, too. If there are siblings involved, prepare them by letting them know that this photoshoot is about the new baby.

Your final gallery will be returned to you around 3 weeks after your shoot. I also offer priority turnaround (receive your gallery in 5 days or less) as an optional add-on for $95. I love to send sneak peaks of your gallery directly and on social media, so be sure to check out my Instagram!

As a newborn photographer, my main goal is to capture your family during this special time in a natural, comfortable setting - your home.

During the session, we’ll spend time focusing on the new addition to your family, and capturing those tiny details that change so quickly. We’ll also include siblings, parents, and even pets, if you’d like!

In between the more intentional photos, I'll be snapping candids as you move through the normal moments of life with a newborn.

Whether it's mom changing the baby's diaper, dad rocking the baby when she begins crying, or the siblings coming in to see the baby again, I am always ready with my camera to capture those special moments. These in-between moments often hold the most emotion and meaning, and I am there to document them for you to cherish forever.

I understand that having a new baby can be chaotic and unpredictable, but I promise to ensure your session is calm and relaxed. During your at-home newborn session, I encourage you to relax, be yourself, and let me capture those beautiful, candid moments that you'll cherish for a lifetime.

No need to worry if outfit shopping for your newborn session just hasn’t been top of your priority list lately - honestly, how could it be?! Just in case you don’t have outfits ready, I’ll bring with me a selection of swaddles, button-up onesies, and diaper covers that you can choose from.

Before I arrive, I recommend dressing your baby in a front-facing, button up cosy sleep-suit so that when we’re ready to start, it’ll be easy to get them out of it without waking them up. It’s also handy to have an assortment of neutral, textured swaddles and wraps so that we can chop and change throughout the session - but like I said, I have plenty to choose from if you don’t have a bunch ready to go at home.
