Sweet Newborn Sessions

The Sweetness of Newborn Sessions

The first few weeks of having a newborn are filled with tiny fingers, cozy cuddles and moments that pass by in the blink of an eye. A newborn session is such a special and real way to capture these fleeting moments and turn them into forever memories. Whether its the simple joy of holding your baby close, capturing all the sweet details or the quiet moments with your family, newborn sessions offer a beautiful way to preserve the early days and early moments!

Below I am sharing some questions, concerns that I have heard from past clients and how I approach them so we can get the most precious photos captured!

When I get inquiries I often have clients say “Our space is very small”, “We don’t have a lot of natural light”, “What if I need more time from birth”. I wanted to share my perspective on all of these and more!

“What if I need more time than 2-4 weeks from birth”
        This is a great time frame to capture the peaceful stage before your little babe starts becoming more active. Though it can often mean that babies will sleep more often it’s not always a guarantee :). Having a lifestyle approach allows for flexibility in the timing of these sessions. I want to ensure a relaxed experience for both baby and parents.

“Our space is very small”
          One of the best things is that you don’t need a fancy studio or a large space. I want to capture your family in a space that feels comfortable for you. Small homes are perfect for capturing the intimate, cozy moments. Your home is a reflection of who you are so any space that you love is a space we can capture your growing family. It always feels more personal and heartfelt and there is no need for props or lots of set up- often, less is more.

“We don’t have a lot of natural light”
         We always find spaces that allow the soft, natural light bring an ethereal, calm vibe that is perfect for capturing newborns. All spaces have a source of natural light that I look for and I bring lighting to help allow for the soft, timeless images that share the adorable innocence of your baby. 

The most important thing about newborn sessions is to remember that they are meant to be flexible, relaxing, stress-free. I build time into the session for feedings, soothing and gentle breaks. Capturing your baby’s first moments should be as comfortable as possible and so I love to embrace the wiggles and pauses. These authentic moments are what make the photos so special. 
Thank you to my clients for trusting me to capture the sweetness of your newborn babes. I adore you all so much!
