Understanding Newborn Photography
Different Genres: Before diving into the world of newborn photography, take a moment to consider what style resonates with you. There are studios with various setups, props, and lighting options, offering a more curated look. On the other hand, there's lifestyle newborn photography, which takes place in your home, focusing on natural light and authentic moments. There's no right or wrong choice here; it's all about what speaks to your heart.
Get to Know Your Photographer: Choosing the right photographer is crucial. This isn't just about capturing images; it's about inviting someone into your life during an intimate and precious time. Take the time to explore photographers' websites, portfolios, about me page, blogs, and social media. Pay attention not just to their work but also to their personality and style. You want to feel a connection and trust that they understand the importance of these moments.

Booking Your Session
Once you've found a photographer you resonate with:
Book Early: Newborn sessions should ideally be booked 4-6 months in advance. This allows your photographer to reserve time around your due date. Babies can arrive unexpectedly, so as soon as your little one is born, reach out to schedule your session within 5-15 days after birth.
Complete the Newborn Questionnaire: Share as much detail as possible about your family story in the newborn questionnaire. This helps your photographer tailor the session to your preferences and capture the essence of your unique journey.
I'm here to make this process seamless and enjoyable for you. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to book your session. Let's create timeless memories together!
