What ages are best for pictures within the first year?
It’s best to schedule your newborn shoot within the first 2 weeks, but I prefer take their pictures in the first 9 days. This is typically when they’re sleepy and wonderful! Then, during the each of the major landmarks (3 months, 6 months, 9 months and 1 year). I am available to come to your home if that makes you more comfortable.
What should I wear?
Solid colors tend to photograph the best, sometimes patterns can be distracting to the eye. Black is ideal for newborn pictures. Little girls in white dresses are also a favorite of mine. Ultimately, I think what’s most important is that you feel comfortable. It’s not really about your clothes, it’s all about you and your family.
If you’re planning a boudoir session, contact me and we can chat about different options.
How long will the shoot last?
Typically my shoots last about an hour, but I’m very flexible. I work with and around my client. If they’re happy and having fun, I’ll shoot as long as they let me. I don’t want tears, picture day is supposed to be fun. It’s all about having fun.
How many pictures can I expect?
It really depends on the type of shoot, but typically between 50-80.
What should I bring?
I’m not a really big “prop” photographer, but if you have something that is sentimental definitely bring it. Meaningful stuffed animals, blankets, family heirlooms, and cute hats are awesome. Bring a couple outfits if you’re unsure, but mostly I like the naked babies and all their rolls.
How will I proof the photos after the session?
A couple days after the shoot, I will post the pics to your very own web page for you to view and share with friends and family. You’ll be able to view the images in color, black & white, and sepia. You’ll also have pricing and how to order on your proof gallery page.
