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!

The Ingredients: Process
This is the fun part! After your session is through your gallery should be completed within 2-3 weeks.
Once your images are finished you will receive a message from me letting you know that your slideshow is ready to view. Now's the time you will gather your family, plug-in to your largest screen, turn up the volume and grab a box of tissues. Make it an event! You put all the work in, you should enjoy the experience!
You can view your slideshow as many times as you like within 24 hours.
You can also share it with friends and family in that time.
Once the 24 hours is up the gallery will disappear and you'll be ready to make your collection selection! At this point you'll have a better idea of how many images you might be interested in purchasing, making your selection much easier. After you've purchased your collection your gallery will open up and you'll be able to freely download your allotted number of images and use your credit towards my selection of heirloom quality print products!
You'll have 30 days to complete your purchase, after which the gallery will close.
Details and instructions will be sent at the time.
