Newborns

General Information:

What does it take to capture a moment like this? It takes patience, understanding and a passion for what you do. As a Mother of two who is also a professional photographer, I cannot help but see those special moments my children give me everyday. It is my job and my joy to create images of your child that will bring a smile to your face for years to come.

I work on location and not out of a studio. I find that babies are much happier in familiar surroundings and that most new Mom's would rather not trek out to another location with a new baby.

I highly recommend that newborn sessions take place within the first 10 days of life. 6-8 days is optimal. Babies are still in their "sleepy" stage at this age, and are not bothered when moved around for photos.

How it Works:

I meet with you to first discuss our options. I never book over the phone as I feel it is important for you to be able to familiarize yourself with me so that you are more comfortable when the day comes to photograph your newest addition in your home. In addition, we pay the deposit, sign the contract and talk about options at your location. I will also answer any questions that you may have. Clothing choices and possible props to consider, like their favorite toy, are all things to be discussed.

I bring all of the items needed for the session, blankets, baskets, various props. However, if you have something special that you would like included in the session, please have it ready for the photos.

We meet back up on the day of the shoot, and let the magic begin. Once we are finished, you pay the balance due for the session fee, and wait for me to call you and say that your photos are online. It should take about 2 weeks.

Sitting Fees:

Portrait Session: $50 Plus Tax
