Your Newborn Photography Experience
Your newborn portrait session is held at my studio located in Augusta, focusing on styled posing. My studio provides all hand picked props, backdrops, fabrics and accessories for newborn set-ups.
When you arrive to my studio, I will have the studio all warm, cozy and ready to go. You will sit back and relax while you enjoy seeing your precious baby being posed in those adorable, curled-up and womb-like poses.
Studio newborn portrait sessions ideally take place within the first two weeks of life. I strive to photograph your baby between 5-12 days new when they are still sleepy and can be curled into womb-like poses easier. Do not hesitate to reach out for a session if your baby is older than this. We still can get some adorable images.
I schedule a limited number of newborns each month to ensure optimal creativity in my work and to provide you with a custom newborn experience.
Let's capture those tiny toes, baby rolls and those sweet little details you will want to hold onto always and forever.
Frequently Asked Questions
- When should I schedule my session?
-
I highly recommend reserving your newborn session once you are in your second trimester to ensure availability. Your actual session date will be scheduled once your baby arrives.
Newborn sessions take place Monday - Friday at 9:30am at my studio located just outside of Augusta.
If you have delivered your baby already, I do try to make room for a last minute session when I can. So, be sure to reserve a newborn session in advance.
- What should I wear?
-
Everyone has their own take on what one should wear. I say it depends on the look and feel you want to display in your home. But, I do suggest dark, solid colors if you want a simple and timeless look and feel to your images and dark solid colors are also slimming when it comes to portraits.
You can also choose to wear a maternity gown from my client closet for your newborn portraits. Gowns are great for mommy/baby images and a simple elegance to your images.
If you like color...let's discuss. There are some guidelines I like to follow.
I highly recommend to stay away from logos and busy designs as it distracting to the eye and can age an image years from now.
AND...most importantly your clothing must be clean, free from wrinkles and lint.
- What should I bring for my baby?
-
As far as props go, you do not need to bring anything but the baby. If you do have a special heirloom piece or prop you would like to use, please discuss with me ahead of time so I can incorporate it into the session.
Items to bring for your baby would include a pacifier, a soft blanket, formula/breast milk if your are exclusively bottle feeding and extra diapers/wipes.
Don't worry if you forget diapers/wipes as I have them stocked in my studio too.
- What is required to book a session?
-
A nonrefundable creation fee is required in order to reserve your due date. Your actual newborn session will be scheduled once your baby arrives.
Newborns are photographed 5-12 days from the date of their birth.
