We are the little building with a large window on the corner...come on in!

Congratulations on the new little addition to your family. There is nothing more precious than a newborn. I just love those tiny fingers and toes, that curled up little body, and those sweet little smiles. These are the moments that you want to remember forever! It is my goal to make your newborn session as enjoyable and relaxing as possible.

The full newborn package takes around 3-4 hours. This package includes 30-40 images including baby, siblings, mom and dad shots. If you have chosen the Newborn Mini Session, the session will last closer to an hour and will include 10-15 images of baby only.

Make sure to block the right amount of time off your schedule during our session day as I don't want you to feel rushed. Review this parent prepping guide, as it will answer many of your questions. As always, feel free to contact me if you have further questions.

Please feed your little one three hours before our session. Then, bring them (very) hungry! During the three hours before you arrive at the session, it is best to have lots and LOTS of awake time with your baby. A bath (or sponge bath) is a great way to keep them awake and prepare them for a good, long nap! Prior to your session, make sure that the diaper is loosened slightly so that it does not leave red marks on the body.

If you can, please pack along a smoothie pacifier the hospital sent you home with. It is bendable, green/blue/orangish and won't leave marks. Even if you haven't used one, just for the few hours I'm posing your little one, it usually really helps. However, if you really prefer that we don't use one, that is fine.

...you can relax and feed your little one and I will spend time putting them to sleep. Some of the classic poses occur with the baby is sleeping  in a deep sleep. All family and sibling portraits will be at the end of the session so I am able to use the entire "deep sleep" time that will occur.

If you are nursing, it is a good idea to bring a bottle of milk that you have pumped (or formula if you are using that)... a baby fed with a bottle is always the most full and sleepy.

If you are bringing pumped milk or formula, please bring LOTS of it! I always tend to overfeed the baby to get them the sleepiest. Having said that, do whatever YOU are most comfortable with. When the baby wakes up, I will capture those gorgeous, bright eyes as well, and if necessary, you can feed them again. I never rush a newborn session so please don't feel like you can only feed them an ounce or so...I CAN WAIT!
