Your Newborn Session

I am so excited to take your newborn photos! I love taking photos of new families, and the precious little humans that you are blessed with. My newborn sessions are relaxed and centred on the new relationships being formed.

When your baby is born, take a few days and rest. This is a big change! Then get in touch, and we’ll set up a date and time within the first two weeks. (Obviously, there is flexibility in this, depending on how you are feeling and how the birth went. But 2 weeks is a good window to get the sleepy newborn photos).

On the day of, DO NOT WORRY ABOUT THE STATE OF YOUR HOUSE. I promise you, this does NOT matter. I will come to your house, and we will pick a room that day. The best options are the master bedroom, or the nursery. I will do all the things to make sure the room is photo ready when I’m there. You don’t have to do a thing.

Choose simple, comfy outfits in coordinating colours. Don’t worry about squeezing into your jeans at this point. Make sure everyone is comfortable and looks good together, but not matching. Don’t fight with older siblings and force them into something they don’t want to wear - they WILL be unhappy for photos. Do try to get them into something neutral and coordinated, but if they desperately want to wear the Batman jammies… let’s run with it!

After we’ve chosen the location in your house, we will get started. I will guide you into poses, and give you simple prompts to help you interact naturally with each other. We will do whole family and sibling poses first. After this, the older kids can be done, before they get bored with me! Next we will do each parent and parents together, and finally baby on their own. Then I will get out of your space! Honestly, it’s such a calm and gentle time to bond with your baby and your family.

Now that the session is over, I will get to work on your photos. Within 30 days, I will email you a link to your private gallery. This will contain at least 75 edited photos for you to download - both in colour and black and white. There is an option for you to “download all”, and that is that! You also have the option of ordering prints through Technicare print labs. They are based in Edmonton and have amazing quality.

I’m so excited to be working with you! Congratulations on your precious new person!
