When you are looking for a newborn photographer, you should ask yourself the following questions:


  • What style of photography do you like? Are you a fan of lifestyle photography or posed portraits?
  • Have you reviewed your potential photographer's portfolio? 
  • Do you want the session to take place in your home, or at an outside location?
  • Do you want a newborn only session, or do you want to include the rest of your family and/or pets?

What baby safety measures do you take?

I take the health of your family very seriously. If I am feeling sick I will let you know straight away. I wear an N95 mask to every indoor newborn session. I will wash my hands as soon as I enter your home. I will not touch your baby. I will direct you on how to pose and request that you wrap your baby when needed.

How long does the session take?

Anywhere between 1-2 hours. I know how exhausting those first few weeks are. So I will stay for as long as you are comfortable for us to get the shots. I almost always finish within an hour. But I am able to stay longer if baby has been fussy etc.

Do you provide props, lighting, and wardrobe?

No, lifestyle photographers use the natural light in your home. You will be posed near windows for soft, flattering light. Your baby will also be dressed in the clothes that you already have at home, such as a neutral onesie. You may swaddle your baby or wrap them in a special blanket. Whereas, at a posed newborn session, babies are often dressed in outfits provided by the photographer. They may be swaddled/wrapped and placed into posed positions.

ARE YOU A LEGAL BUSINESS?

Yes! I am fully licensed and insured. A professional photographer should have contracts and insurance in place.
