Newborn Session Guide

The first few weeks at home with your newborn can be a bit of a blur! 

This guide will give you the information you need to prepare your family and you home for your upcoming session. 

When should I schedule the session?

Anywhere from 2-4 weeks is best. Factors to consider are mom's recovery and adjusting to life with a new baby in the home. 

​

Do I have to clean my house?

I'm not expecting your home to look like a page of a magazine. You're home with a new baby. Laundry is piling up and the sink is full of dishes and guess what...that's totally normal. Trust me, I've been there!

All I need is a quick tidy and a vacuum of the rooms we will be using during the session.

​

What areas of the home will we be using?

Once I arrive, I'll take a quick tour of your home and we'll decide which rooms will work best, based on space and available natural light. If you plan on using the master bedroom, I would suggest having a neutral light coloured blanket or duvet on the bed. 

​

What should I wear?

Comfort is key. Depending on your style, this could be leggings and a cozy sweater, a flowy dress, or jeans and a neutral coloured T-shirt. The choice is yours. Co-ordinate family members around mom's outfit, and have a back up outfit for each family member in case of unexpected mess. Dress baby in a neutral coloured onesie. 

Bonus Tip! Ensure fingernails are clean, trimmed and free of any chipped nail polish. 

​

Feel free to text me photos of your outfits if you need some guidance, I'm always happy to help!

I have linked my style guide below for some examples and inspiration.

My photographic style is lifestyle with a little bit of documentary mixed in. We will still capture some beautiful smiling family portraits, but I will also be looking for those in between moments. Older siblings getting dressed for photos, snack breaks, tickle fights, I'm here for it all.

Consider your session a time capsule of your family as it is now. Beautiful, raw, unapologetically you.
