Newborn Photo Session
"Before you were conceived, I wanted you. Before you were born, I loved you. Before you were an hour old, I would die for you. This is the miracle of love."
-Maureen Hawkins
Safety, comfort, and the well being of your baby are the main focus during the newborn photo session. Newborn photos are best taken when baby is between 7 and 21 days old because babies are usually still quite sleepy and easily posed. If baby is a little older, no worries, we can still take beautiful photos. Keeping baby safe is the most essential element of a newborn session which is why I prefer natural poses. I also like to use soft colors and materials which provide a classic, timeless look to the images. The most important aspect of newborn photography is that the parents and the newborn feel completely at ease during the photo session. Newborn sessions are baby led and plenty of time is taken to allow for baby to be fed, cuddled, and changed so that baby is comfortable and will have the best experience.
The baby will be placed on several different decors. I use various fabric backdrops, baskets, wooden bowls, outfits, hats, headbands, and other accessories. Each session is customized to your family's specific needs and style preferences. You choose the colors and accessories that you would like for your newborn's session. Parents also have the option of taking photos with their newborn, both separately and together. Siblings can also be included as well as fur babies when possible.
Newborn sessions take place in the comfort and safety of your own home for your convenience. I travel anywhere in the Northern Colorado and Southeast Wyoming area including the cities of Fort Collins, Loveland, and Cheyenne. I bring my studio to you with all of the equipment and props needed to create beautiful, timeless portraits of your newborn without you having to leave the house with your new baby. In your home, I create a warm and inviting space where we can capture precious memories of your baby's first few days in the world. My goal is for you to have a stress-free and relaxing experience while I create art that will touch your heart with love and memories that you can cherish for years to come.
The cost for the newborn session is $475 and includes a minimum of 20 hand edited high resolution digital JPEG images. Within two weeks after the session, you will receive a link to download your images. The final images will be delivered to you in color and black and white without my logo or watermark for a total of at least 40 images. You will have full printing rights so that you may have unlimited prints made wherever you wish.
