I could tell you how much I love photographing newborns, and I still don't think I could convey how much I truly love it. They are so new, and beautiful, and wonderful. It always amazes me because you truly do forget with your own kids that they were ever really that tiny.
Just a word on newborns. I can't stress enough to call me as early as possible for newborn sessions. These tiny, curly, squished up sleepyheads only stay that way for a very short time. Days, in fact. I really try to encourage parents to do the newborn session in the first 2 weeks of baby's life. I know it's hectic, and things kind of feel crazy when you bring a new baby home. You get tired and before you know it, weeks have passed. If you plan to have a newborn session, please contact me near the end of your pregnancy, if at all possible. If that is not possible, then within the first few days of being home is ideal.
I will always try my best to fit in newborns, because I love them so very much. However, sessions are very limited and usually I am booked 2-3 weeks out. I would hate for you to miss out on this fleeting chance to capture the newness of your new baby.
Newborn sessions typically last 2-3 hours or however long it takes to get that perfect shot. Sometimes it can be a little messy, but believe me it is SO worth it.
One of the best things about on location photography, especially with newborns, is the comfort level of being in your own environment, on your own schedule. We can work around feedings and changes, or whatever needs to be done. We can also implement pieces of you and your family, such as your home and baby's nursery into your session.
