To begin with, let me offer my heartfelt CONGRATULATIONS! This is a genuinely unique period in life, and the year ahead promises to be full of amazing experiences and treasured memories as you prepare to welcome a new addition to your family.
Having a baby transforms your entire world. The saying "moments are fleeting" gains a new significance as you realize how swiftly time flies with your beloved infant. Babies develop and grow rapidly, particularly in the early stages of their life.
Scheduling a newborn session allows you to preserve these fleeting moments. . . moments that won't come again. These are not merely photographs; they are cherished memories captured in time, which you can revisit each year to recall how truly special those early days were.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Anticipate a smooth and calm newborn photography session. My aim for each session is to ensure everything is as effortless as possible for you. I believe that hiring a photographer should involve choosing someone you connect with and feel at ease with—and that's precisely what I strive to achieve.
WHEN TO BOOK
Many adorable newborn photos we see online feature sleeping infants, and the ideal time to capture these images is when the baby is 1-2 weeks old. Around the 3-week point, babies become more active, don't fall asleep or stay calm as easily, and often start to outgrow the small newborn wraps and baskets.
If you are pregnant and have your due date, we can schedule you on the calendar at any time, aiming for the 1-2 week after birth timeframe. Naturally, the exact arrival of the baby is unpredictable, so we can usually adjust the session to be earlier or later if necessary.
Remember, Saturdays tend to get booked first, often up to two months in advance! Weekday sessions offer much more flexibility and can be scheduled when the spouse has time off for the baby.
If you have any questions or need more information, feel free to contact us, and we can discuss details tailored to your growing family.
