NEWBORN LIFESTYLE
Having a newborn at home is crazy! I've been there, I get it. But documenting those new little moments really is priceless. Those teenie toes, those squishy legs and those gassy smiles! And equally important is documenting the totally normal, not so glamorous moments as well - the adorable awkwardness of a sink bath, baby burps, sofa snuggles...believe me, those are the foggy memories you'll be happy to have to look back on later.
Sound overwhelming? Don't worry! It's my goal to make this as stress free as possible! I will come to you and all we will do is take photos of you doing what you do - being a parent. You will receive a prep guide full of helpful tips about how to prepare your family and your home, and don't worry, no cleaning service or hair and makeup are required! The real moments will mean more down the road.
This style of session is also perfect for "older" newborns, as they don't require much posing and a more alert baby can make for more engaging photos, capturing connection between the two of you. I recommend anywhere from one to 6 weeks. Sessions typically last 2-4 hours, leaving time for feedings and changes. If baby has siblings (even furry ones) I'm more than happy to include them!
POSES
If you just love those little sweet little newborn poses as well, I'm with you! I always bring along a few props and wraps. We will discuss your ideas in advance so I know what shots are most important to you. We also discuss details like color schemes and style and talk about what you hope to do with your images in the end - for instance nursery art, a family portrait or a beautiful baby album.
Something to note is that the younger the baby the easier they are to pose. Although we won't be attempting anything too ambitious like we might in a studio, a baby under 10 days will be much sleepier - so if you're looking for a pose-heavy gallery keep in mind your baby's age and please let me know when we speak. If you think you missed the window, there are still a number of achievable poses for "older" newborns too.
I want you to feel totally comfortable, and am always happy to answer any questions you have along the way!

Why do you want to hire a photographer? No, really. It's a lot of effort when you think about it. You need to research and find someone who shares your values and style. And once you do that there's the prep and shoot itself - bribing family members, assembling the troops, wondering why your always-cheery baby is suddenly a monster....so I want you to really ask yourself, "Why am I doing this? And what do I want from these images in the end?"
Maybe you have a big space available above your couch that you'd love to fill with a big family portrait. Maybe you're never in the family pictures and you'd just like some proof of your existence in this family. Maybe you dropped the ball on your holiday cards last year and it's not going to happen again! Or maybe you're realizing how quickly your littles are growing and you want to capture some of these precious moments in a beautiful and artistic way. Whatever your goals are, I'm here to help you achieve them.
With each client I set out to provide a level of service that goes beyond simply photographing your family, and that's what sets me apart. You're not hiring me to only take your pictures - you want a full service experience. You want luxury, you want someone to guide your decision making, someone who will provide you with information and assistance throughout the entire process, and you want end up with a buttoned up, finalized experience that you don't need to put any more time into. I want to give you an experience you'll remember, where attention is given to every question, request, and suggestion. I want to make sure, that when we are through, you are left with a completed product. Can't decide what size frame or need help designing a gallery wall? Let me show you digital mock ups, right on your own walls! Don't want the headache of laying out your album? I do that for you and send you a digital version where you can add revision requests and comments! Not sure what to do with prints? I have a variety of fully customizable options such as matted portfolios and heirloom boxes and can help you with all of your selections. Need a gift? Let me help you decide! I'm here for you, from start to finish.
Much like you might invest in quality of life experiences such as travel, beauty regiments, designer goods or a night out, preserving your family's ever changing memories is perhaps one of the greatest investments of all!
