Q: When is the best time to schedule a newborn session?
A: The ideal time is within the first two weeks of your baby’s life. During this time, babies are still sleepy and easier to photograph in those natural, snuggly moments.
Q: Does the newborn session have to take place in my own home?
A: Sessions can take place in your home or at an outdoor location in Austin or surrounding area. Alternatively, if you would prefer for your session to take place at a studio, studio rentals may be available upon request for an extra cost.
Q: How long does a newborn session last?
A: Sessions typically lasts about 1.5 to 2 hours, allowing plenty of time for feedings, diaper changes, and moments of calming the baby if needed.
Q: What should I wear for a newborn photography session?
A: We all know the weather in Austin tends to be on the warmer side. Choose something comfortable that you feel good in, as the focus will be on your connection with your baby rather than your outfit. As a family, I recommend picking colors that compliment one another, but do not exactly match. Simple, neutral-toned colors work best such as white, light grey, ivory, or pastels. I recommend avoiding any dark or bright colors as those can easily create color casts and cause unnatural skin tones. For baby, a simple, white muslin swaddle is timeless and will bring out so much light. If you need help coordinating outfits, I am also here to assist!
Q: What should I do to prepare my baby for our newborn photo session?
A: Make sure your baby is well-fed and comfortable before the session. Have your baby dressed in the first outfit you wish to use. I also recommend trying to keep your baby awake in the hour prior to the session to ensure they are sleepy for most of it.
Q: How do I prepare my home for our photo session?
A: You just had a baby so you absolutely don’t need to (nor should) deep clean! We’ll use natural areas of your home like the nursery, master bedroom, and living spaces. Just tidy up a bit to avoid any big distractions in the background, and don’t stress about perfection. It’s also helpful to keep the house warm so the baby can stay cozy, especially if we’ll be taking some shots without clothing or in light swaddles.
Q: Is natural light preferred for in home newborn photography?
A: Yes! Natural light is ideal for lifestyle sessions. We’ll use soft window light to create warm, natural-looking images. I may also bring in a small amount of lighting if needed, such as an on-camera flash.
Q: Can siblings and pets be included in the session?
A: Yes! Including siblings and pets adds to the story of your family and creates beautiful, meaningful images.
Q: Will you swaddle and pose my baby?
A: While I will give you all the pointers that you need to create beautiful, natural, and authentic images, I will not pose nor swaddle your baby and will rely on you to do so, safely. Additionally, I will not perform any work that could potentially cause harm to your baby.
Q: How long will it take to receive my final edited images?
A: Typically, it takes about 2-3 weeks to receive your final gallery.
