Do Your Research

Just as every baby is different, every newborn photographer is different too. Spend some time Googling, scrolling through Instagram, and exploring photography websites to figure out the perfect fit for you. You can learn more about me and my studio here.

Book Early

Most studios and photographers are very busy, so once you’ve decided who you’re going with, reach out and book your newborn photography session as soon as possible! Newborn photographers usually offer flexibility on dates, so no worries if baby doesn’t arrive right on time–we can make it work!

Be Open with Your Newborn Photographer

Are there styles you really like or don’t like? Are you nervous about any aspect of getting ready for your newborn photography session? Is there something you really want to incorporate in your pictures? Most photographers, myself included, want to create a wonderful experience for their clients. If there’s something we can do to make your session truly amazing, we want to know about it!

Decide How to Use Your Session Photos

Do you envision your baby photos framed on the walls of your home? In a keepsake album? Printed on wood blocks to give as gifts? Check with your photographer to see what types of display options they offer.
