NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY

Those First Weeks With A Newborn Can Be A Blur

Your body is healing from giving birth, you are getting aquainted with your baby while trying to trust your mama instincts. And, through it all, you have never loved anyone this whole-heartedly.

One look at your baby and your whole world seems to stand still in that moment as you look over every inch of your baby, and yet those moments tend to fly by.

YOU WILL WANT TO REMEMBER THESE TINY DETAILS

their tiny toes, their whispy hair, their sleepy smiles and the way they fit perfectly in your arms

Because in a few short weeks your baby will not be this little again...EVER.

That is why I am here...I am here to help you preserve your baby's precious little details so you can hold onto this newborn stage forever. Then when you look back at those photographs in your hands, you will be brought back right to the beginning and you will remember not only how small your baby once was, but all the emotions that came with having a new baby.

Book a Newborn Session

Capturing One of Life's Most Precious Gifts with Beautiful Newborn Portraits for Eau Claire and Chippewa Valley Families

All newborn sessions take place at my Augusta studio and typically last about 2.5-3 hours to ensure we have time for all those set-ups, feedings and any soothing that may occur. Family and sibling portraits are included if you so choose. I will pencil in your due date to reserve your newborn session and then once your baby is born we will schedule your baby's portrait session date and time. Note that newborn sessions are photographed in the morning and take place when your baby is between 5-12 days new. I will get all the details taken care of prior to the birth of your baby so you don't have to worry about a thing, because that first week can be a little overwhelming.

My studio will be nice and warm, which will be perfect for your little one. I will have everything set-up and ready to go when you arrive. There will also be snacks and water for you and a cool place to chill if you get too warm. I have a little play area for older siblings to hang out while we capture photos of baby alone. You don't need to worry about a thing, just bring your precious baby and milk for feeding your baby. Other than that, I've got you covered.

Angi does such fantastic work with the little ones. I had her do my first daughter’s newborn pictures through her first year. She has also done our family photos throughout the years. So, when I knew I was having another baby I reached out to her again because of her attention to details and how well she works with the newborns. We drove an hour amd half to have pictures done by her. I highly suggest Angi to anyone looking for a newborn photographer.

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.

MOMS: Simple clothing is best. Soft, pastel colors are a great choice for your newborn session. You can opt for 3/4 or long sleeved tops to keep the focus on the connection between you and your baby.

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 add a simple elegance to your images.

Dad and Children: I recomend that the clothing worn should coordinate with what mom and baby will be wearing. Choose a color scheme and coordinate the colors so they compliment each other. Dad should wear a long sleeve shirt and a nice pair of jeans/pants. Hair/Beard should be trimmed up nicely. Nails should be manicured. The older siblings can wear jeans and a nice shirt or dresses for the girls. Just keep it simple with no large patterns. If you need help choosing outfits, let me know and I will help choose what looks best.

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 AND make sure that everyone's fingernails are manicured nicely as they will be in the images. Mamas, if you paint your nails, please stay away from bright colors. You don't want your nails to draw attention away from you or your baby. Light neutral colors or French tips are best.

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, burp cloth, formula/breast milk if your are exclusively bottle feeding and extra diapers/wipes.

I suggest bringing an extra pair of clothes for yourself just in case your baby gets "fluids" on you.

What is required to book a session?

A session fee is required to formally reserve your due date. Your actual newborn session will be scheduled once your baby arrives.

The session fee ensures a confirmed reservation for your session and includes a pre-session consultation, your photography session, and an in-person reveal and ordering session. The session fee is nonrefundable and is separate from any portrait collections or portrait artwork, and allows a smooth portrait experience and all it entails.

Newborns are photographed 5-12 days from the date of their birth.

What is your rescheduling policy?

If you need to reschedule, please contact me at least 24-48 hours in advance if you won't be able to come in for your scheduled portrait session due to illness or another reason. Even though the session fee is nonrefundable, we can reschedule your session within seven days of your original session.
