What’s the best time to have a session with a newborn?
The best time to have a photo session with a newborn is within the first two weeks of their life, ideally between 5 to 10 days old. During this time, newborns are usually more sleepy, flexible, and easier to pose. They still retain their womb-like curl and tend to be more settled, making it easier to capture those precious and adorable poses. Additionally, their delicate features, tiny fingers, and wrinkled skin are at their peak, creating beautiful and timeless images.
It's important to schedule the session in advance, ideally during the pregnancy, to secure a spot within this optimal timeframe. However, every baby is unique, and some may require a different approach based on their individual needs and development. I do understand that life gets in the way of things sometimes and will offer Lifestyle Newborn Sessions until 5 months old.
Be sure to let me know you're booking a Lifestyle NEWBORN session and I will send tips and suggestions to help make the session go smoothy before I arrive!
How should we dress for our session?
After inquiring and booking, I will send you a guide with so many tips and ideas on how to dress for your photo session. If you still have questions, feel free to message me and even send me pictures of your ideas! My favorite part of the process is planning and helping with the little details.
We don’t feel very confident in front of the camera, is that ok?
Absolutely! I totally understand that feeling. It's like trying to do the chicken dance in a room full of penguins—awkward yet strangely adorable. But fear not! I'm here to guide you through the process and make it as comfortable and enjoyable as possible, like it's my job or something (*wink wink*) LOL!
Think of me as your personal photography dance instructor. I'll show you some funky moves, provide gentle prompts and directions, and before you know it, you'll be twirling and posing like a pro! We'll have so much fun together that you might even forget the camera is there. Trust me, I've seen it happen!
So, don't worry if you're not used to being in front of the camera. I specialize in capturing natural, candid moments that truly reflect who you are. We'll focus on creating a relaxed and playful atmosphere, where your genuine personalities can shine through. Before you know it, you'll be striking poses you never thought possible.
Remember, being a little camera-shy can actually work in your favor. It adds a unique charm to your photos, capturing those authentic and unguarded moments that are often the most precious. So, embrace your quirks, unleash your inner goofball, and let's create some truly memorable and laughter-filled moments together!
Rest assured, I'll be there every step of the way, making sure you feel comfortable, confident, and ready to rock that camera. Let's turn your photo session into a fun-filled adventure that you'll remember with a big smile.
