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!

Testimonials
"Chelsea was wonderful to work with & she managed to capture great photos of my very active 2 year old twins. She's creative & has a magical way with toddlers. I highly recommend her!" -EP
"I can't recommend Chelsea highly enough for toddler photos! We've done both a mini session and a full session with her in the past few months. The photos are stunning, prices are reasonable and turn around has been quick. But, and almost more importantly, she is excellent to work with! For the full session, she spent an hour with me and my toddler at a local farm getting a mix of posed and candid photos. She made us both very comfortable, was happy to chase my toddler around and even got my very serious kiddo to crack a few smiles! I couldn't be happier with the experience!" -KD
"Every mom loves to have beautiful pics of her babies and every mom is afraid the photo session could be a nightmare. Well, with Chelsea you don't have to . She makes it extremely easy for you and your baby. And the other important thing is you get your pics so fast !!! And they are amazing!!!"-AS
"It was an absolute pleasure to work with Chelsea. The entire experience of setting up our first holiday shoot was a breeze, enjoyable and exciting- Chelsea made it that way. I was able to share my ideas and let the expert handle the rest. Chelsea, you made it easy for us to trust you. Thank you so much for your artistry." -CE
"Chelsea is fabulous, and we've used her with my two little ones on two occasions (for our Christmas card and a birth announcement). She's, professional, responsive and laid back, but most importantly her work speaks for itself. I would recommend her to anyone looking to capture their baby or toddler in a candid, framework-worthy moment!" -KB
