WHEN DO I SCHEDULE MY BABY SESSION?

It is never too early to book a newborn session.I suggest to book once you are in your 2nd trimester . Because your baby’s birth date is unpredictable, a time frame will be reserved for you. If you are given an induction or c-section date, the actual session date can be booked in advance. If you are letting baby decide, your due date will be noted and arrangements will be made as soon as baby arrives.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME ?

I prefer to photograph babies between 6 to 14 days old. During this period they can be posed in a wider variety of ways and sessions generally run smoother. At the same time, being a mom myself, I realize how overwhelmed new parents can feel , so I am very flexible with scheduling session , and picking the best time , that works for you !

HOW DO I PREPARE MY NEWBORN?

Give your baby a warm bath before the session , it gets them tired . Be sure to feed the baby right before the session.  If you are breastfeeding, do not eat any spicy or irritating food on the day of the session. Have your little one in a diaper , wearing a sleeper with zipper or the one that is easy to take off.. Also have a soother available if baby takes one (just in case , sometimes it helps to get that one perfect shot ).

WHERE DO WE GO FOR THE SESSION ?

My studio is located in the exchange , 70 Arthur st 4th floor studio 480

there is street parking , and there is an elevator in the building.

AS THE PARENT, WHAT AM I RESPONSIBLE FOR DURING THE SESSION?

 I will be doing most of the work. Sometimes getting one pose will take up to 20 minutes or more.  The most important thing for you to do during the shoot is to remain calm and be ready to soothe your little one.  Baby can tell if mommy is stressed or nervous, so just relax and enjoy the session.  We have plenty of time.  Babies cry and fuss.  That is normal.  We can rock, feed and soothe baby as long as needed.  That’s why I include so much extra time in my newborn sessions.
