Let’s talk about Newborn Sessions!
When it comes to newborn sessions, I know it can be overwhelming trying to decide which type of session is best for you and your sweet new little family.
So let me walk you through the basics, and then the details for each session offered.
I prefer to do newborn sessions when babies are in that sweet sleepy spot under 2 weeks. However, I will always try and work with older babies when needed, and if your baby was born a few weeks (or months) early; that 2 week frame may not apply since babies typically act their gestational age for sessions. Meaning if baby was born 4 weeks early, we are safe to still try to do the session when they are 6 weeks “old”. If baby was born full term, and tends to be on the bigger side; I’m going to try to get you in as soon as possible.
As much as possible, I want to get you booked well in advance of your due date, but I know life happens, and you may not get around to booking until baby is already arrived. I always try to get last minute bookings in, but I can’t ever promise that your preferred time frame will be available if I’m not contacted earlier.
To book your session, simply contact me with your due date, name, and number, and I’ll send over a contract, questionnaire, and invoice for your deposit to hold your spot. As we get closer to your due date, I’ll have you keep me posted in case your doctor or midwife deems a induction or c-section needed, so I can stay in the loop. We will not schedule the exact date of your newborn session until baby is born, and your are settled at home.
In-Home Newborn Sessions
There are a few options for in-home newborn sessions. I offer a lifestyle newborn session that is less posed, and does NOT include “posed” studio style images of your newborn. These pictures are more candid, and take place it rooms you live in like nursery, master bedroom, or living room. We’ll still get images of just baby!
For the in-home newborn with posed baby; we’ll get lifestyle family images in your home, along with posed images of just baby. I’ll bring my little “studio” set-up for just baby. Including a variety of props, wraps, backdrops, etc.
Cottage Newborn Sessions
The Cottage is my sweet little studio located in my backyard in Highland Village, TX (75077). While it is small; it is the perfect little space, with perfect lighting for sweet newborn sessions. You will have access to my client closet, if I am notified ahead of time. I have all my props there as well. The studio has a neutral/boho vibe. Since the studio is small; it is ideal for smaller families if you want to include siblings. These sessions are priced lower since I do not have travel time included.
