When is the best time to schedule a Newborn Portrait?
The recommended time is 6-8 weeks (minimum) before the baby is born.
What kind of clothing does the baby need to wear?
We provide all clothing and props for baby sessions. If you have a favorite outfit that’s important to you, you can bring it and I strongly suggest that you let me know at least a week before your session.
When is the best age to have a Newborn session?
Schedule your newborn session when you are in your 3rd trimester of pregnancy to guarantee availability. Newborn sessions are done when the baby is 4-14 days old. Once the baby has exceeded 14 days, we can not do a newborn session. A 6 month session would be recommended.
Newborn sessions are done first thing in the morning at 9:30/10 AM appointment.
NOTE: Preemie babies are scheduled on a case by case basis.
Both parents, my other kids and someone else can attend the photography session?
Only in DELUXE NEWBORN parents and siblings (if being photographed) should attend the newborn session. Due to health precautions, we limit it to two adults to be present during the session.
Only parents and siblings (if being photographed) should attend the newborn photography session for several reasons. We want to avoid traffic to the studio during Covid-19. There is limited sitting space. There is no need to bring your babysitter/nurse either, as we will be with the baby most of the time anyway. When too many people are present, it can stress the baby and we want a peaceful environment for him/her.
