What to Expect During Your Newborn Session
Congratulations On Your New Baby!
As moms, we understand how magical this fleeting newborn stage is.
We also know you want a relaxed session with a little direction and guidance, and a focus on the love and connection your family shares.
Now that you’ve booked your session, you’re probably wondering what to expect.
Let’s get to it!
THE BASICS
Your newborn session will take place in the comfort of your own home and will last between 2-3 hours. There will be plenty of time for diaper changes, feeding breaks, and soothing and Carolyn will stay until she has captured all of the shots you hoped for.
The Memories
This is a great time to pull out your favorite blankets, outfits and accessories. They’ll make documenting this moment in life extra special, and you’ll think of the loved ones who gifted them to you or the time you spent carefully selecting them while waiting for your new addition to arrive.
The grandparents
The whole family will be included - we especially love multigenerational newborn sessions!
The Pets
Pets are family too. It doesn’t get much cuter than babies + animals!
The Siblings
You’ll witness plenty of melt-your-heart moments between siblings and then have gems like this to look back on forever.
The Spots
You’ll all spend time together in your favorite spots - the nursery, the living room couch, curled up in bed, or rocking in a cozy chair.
The details
Carolyn will capture detail shots of all those sweet newborn features that you never want to forget.
The Moments
There will be lots of smiles, cuddles and kisses. There may be a few tears too, and that’s totally fine!
The Sleep Situation
What if baby needs a nap? That’s quite alright! Remember, we’re on baby’s schedule…and we’re all about capturing some sweet snoozy moments!
The Options
If it’s warmer weather, we can take a walk outside to explore your neighborhood or spend some time in your backyard. It’s always fun to include a variety of settings whenever possible.
After the shoot
So now you may be wondering…what happens after?
You can expect a gallery with all of your best photos in both color and black & white within approximately 7-14 days. From there, you select the images and products you’d like to purchase and we handle the rest!
We can’t wait to document this beautiful time in your life!
