Newborn Photography Q&A

Q: When is the best time to schedule a newborn photography session?
A: The ideal time for newborn photography is within the first 6-10 days after birth. During this period, babies are generally sleepier and easier to pose, allowing for those beautiful, curled-up shots. However, I can accommodate sessions up to 6 weeks old if needed.

Q: Can I have the session in my home?
A: Absolutely! I offer both studio sessions and in-home sessions. If you prefer the comfort of your own space, I can bring the necessary props and equipment to create beautiful images right in your home.

Q: What should I do to prepare for the session?
A: To prepare for the session, ensure that your baby is well-fed and sleepy. Dress them in loose clothing to avoid marks on their skin. A onesie with a zipper or snaps running from top to bottom is an excellent choice. This design eliminates the need to pull it over your baby’s head, making dressing and undressing easier.

Q: What if my baby doesn’t want to sleep during the session?
A: That’s completely normal! I’m experienced in working with newborns and can adapt to your baby’s needs. If they’re awake, we can capture beautiful images of their eyes and expressions, or we can take breaks as needed.

Q: How long does a typical newborn photography session last?
A: Newborn sessions typically last between 2 to 3 hours, allowing plenty of time for feeding, comforting, and changing. The focus is on creating a relaxed atmosphere for both you and your baby.

Q: What should I expect after the session?
A: After the session, I will carefully edit the images to enhance their beauty. You can expect to receive your gallery of edited photos within a few weeks. I’ll provide you with options for prints and digital files so you can cherish your memories in the way that suits you best.

Q: Do you have any safety measures in place during the session?
A: Yes, safety is my top priority. I’ve undergone specialized training in newborn photography and follow strict safety protocols. I also ensure that all props and surfaces are sanitized to provide a safe environment for your little one.
