Preparing for a successful baby session

Baby FAQ

Here are a few things that will help you prepare for your session…

It may take some time for your little one to warm up to me. A strange photographer with a big camera and flashing lights can be a little bit intimidating. I understand this, and I always have time to work with your child until they feel comfortable.
Not every image will be smiley. Not all babies are super smiley and that’s ok. Some of my favorite images do not include a smile. I will work my best to get those genuine smiles, but I will not push your baby past their comfort level to get smiles. Those innocence little looks are just as beautiful as the smiley ones.
I will run the show. Remember I am trying to capture a connection. This is not likely to happen if others are trying to make baby smile or laugh. It is EXTREMELY important that I am the one to earn those adorable faces and smiles.
Plan for your session to take about half and hour to 45min.
Remember this is a Styled session. My style is very clean and simple. I try to select props that will accentuate and not overpower your baby’s personality. If you see a prop in my gallery that you would like me to use please let me know prior to the session so I can plan for it. If you have an outfit or prop that you would like to bring along that’s great…please let me know prior to the session so I can plan for it : )
Sibling and parent images are not included with baby sessions. Please do not bring siblings along as they tend to distract baby.

Bring some favorite toys along. Having some familiar things can help an anxious baby get comfortable a lot quicker.
Bring a snack in case your baby gets hungry (please avoid messy snacks…a bottle of milk, sippy cup of water, crackers, & dry cereal are all great options).
