Newborn
Information
Schedule!
As soon as your new one has arrived it is
very important to schedule your newborn session. Yes, we know that it is hard
to do anything other than relax with your little one. But the best time to capture
your newborn is before they are 2 weeks old (we prefer 3-7 days old). After two
weeks it can be difficult to get baby into a deep sleep and baby acne and colic
may flare up.
·
Best time to
shoot is mid-morning or late afternoon.
·
Please allow
up to two hours for this shoot
Where?
We come to you. As mothers, we know that
after baby you don’t feel all that great and attractive. That is why we come to
you. Most of the newborn sessions are done in your home. We love using natural
light with our babies, so don’t mind us if we move some things around we will
put them right back! Don’t be shy about clutter or dishes in the sink we are
moms too and we totally get it. If for
some reason you would rather not shoot in your home we can defiantly set
something up at our in home office/studio.
Lighting
Please open blinds and pull curtains back
prior to arrival. It helps us set up the perfect location in your home for the
shoot. Natural light is a baby’s best friend. Sometimes we end up shooting in
crazy spots in your home, usually where ever there is a large window or sliding
glass doors.
Prepare
New babies do not like to be cold and to get
those adorable baby shots we need to make them as comfortable as possible. So
crank the heat 30 minutes before session. We have heating pads to help keep
baby in steady warmth.
·
Loosen that
diaper so that baby does not have any imprints.
·
Try to keep baby up and stimulated, that way baby
is nice and tired for our shoot (helps achieve those cute poses)
·
Keep baby
feed, a full belly ensures a happy sleepy baby.
·
If baby
decides to stay awake most of the time, don’t worry! Some of the sweetest shots
are with them peaking around.
