Newborn Experience FAQ
You're having a baby, Congrats! Now what??
You’re going to be a parent! Whether it’s your first, second, fourth or fifth baby, this is a special and important time in your life. I can help you capture this moment with a newborn photography session that you and your family will cherish forever. This is a special and exciting time for you and so finding the right newborn photographer to document your baby in the first couple of weeks of life is an important decision. With your baby’s safety as my number one priority, I will ensure your experience will be relaxing and special. There is quite a lot that goes into newborn photography including a variety of poses as well as props, wraps. My goal is to make your newborn photography session as simple and as enjoyable as possible while capturing your newborn in all of their beauty. I’m so excited to work with you!
How far in advance should I book my Newborn session?
As my calendar fills up quickly. I advise contacting me as soon as you have completed your first trimester.
Can you travel to my home for Newborns?
Due to the lighting that I require in an in-home newborn shoot, I evaluate each session before agreeing to come to your home. This is based on many factors, but the layout of your home, amount of natural light, and space inside the nursery can contribute to the quality of your session. I have a beautiful professional photography studio located in downtown Bowling Gree, KY with a comfortable area for you to relax on while I work with your baby.
What is the best age for Newborns?
I prefer to photograph newborns within the first 2 weeks after birth. My favorite days are between 8 – 14 days old. However, I can take ‘older’ newborns should my schedule allow it.
What does the Newborn Session Experience entail?
Newborn photography sessions are scheduled during the first 2 weeks of birth, during the weekdays, mid-morning and are done in my professional studio located in Bowling Green. You won’t need to bring anything with you other than everyday essentials, milk for your baby, and several outfits (though i do have a client closet available that may work for your child) Please plan ahead, and pre-book your newborn photoshoot three to four months in advance. Once we establish you as a client, our priority is getting your baby safely into this world before we schedule a date. Once the baby arrives, you will let me know and I will reserve your date in my schedule 2 weeks after birth.
Newborn photography collections are $600 + 6% sales tax
**Please note Newborn sessions are scheduled during the weekdays to start mid-morning and you will need to allow for 2 hours to account for any fussiness*
