THE DETAILS
What is documentary style?
We capture the real, raw moments you have at home with your newborn. Photos that truly tell a story and are simple. No tight swaddle poses, no babies in small baskets. Real moments of your baby being loved, snuggled, fed, changed. Parents being parents- and all the details possible being captured of that sweet newborn skin.
Please plan on 60-90 min for this session with 30 min being committed to baby details. Patience is key!
HOW MANY PHOTOS WILL WE RECEIVE?
Your gallery will contain as many photos as possible. On average, clients receive 40-50 images. I will cull and edit the photos I find to be the best and the total number will be determined by me! You get them ALL.
TIME OF SESSION
The best time to schedule your newborn in-home session is within the first 10-14 days of being home. Aim for a morning time, when baby is typically sleepy. When booking, provide me with your due date. Once the baby is born and you are settled, reach out asap to get the session scheduled!
WHAT DO WE WEAR?!
Pick a simple outfit for baby. Simple is better when taking these photos. Sometimes, even a diaper and a few blankets are best. We will be taking photos where we see a lot of babies skin, so keep that in mind. Try to avoid newborn outfits that have hoods! As for the parents, whatever you are comfortable and confident in.
LOCATION
Your home!! In the rooms you spend the most time. Honestly, most photos can be all done in the living room and baby nursery. PLEASE do not stress about your home! :)
