Newborns are precious beings, miracles, and a parent’s utmost joy.

It’s important to remember how small they actually are so capturing their tiny hands and cute feet, lips, hair and even eyelashes are all details you will want to remember later on. 

The best time to schedule your newborn session is while you’re still pregnant. This will allow us time to order custom props for your session if needed. Try to schedule your newborn photography session a few months before your due date. For those cute curly poses babies are best photographed at 5-10 days old. If your baby is older than 12 days old do not fret, we can still get precious photos that you will adore and share with loved ones.

There are so many adorable “poses” out there online or being taken of these precious little ones. I will only do a pose if I know with 100% certainty I can do it safely and with proper support for the baby. The cutest image is just not worth it if it puts baby at risk. So many images in their finished stage are not what they seem to be. For example, babies hanging from branches, being held up in the air, balancing on scales or other props, etc. Most of these images need to be composites or modified in post-processing. Just in case you are unfamiliar with the term, a composite is more than one image merged together to create one image to remove a spotter’s hand or other support etc.

I am so blessed that I had the opportunity to be a part of training workshops and expand my knowledge on newborn safety. As much as I love my job and capturing these images, a baby’s safety is infinitely more important to me. I will never stop learning to be the best of my ability.
