Before Your Session


Each of my newborn sessions is highly personalized, so I like to work one-on-one with you to plan your session based on your personal style and how you plan to use your images. A pre-session consult is our time to go over the details, cover questions, and explore all the options together — including fun details like props and poses, your ideas for art for your home, and planning gifts for loved ones. We will meet at my studio in Tilton, NH, but I also offer Zoom consultations for your convenience.


During Your Session


My newborn sessions have a relaxed, unhurried pace to keep baby calm, happy, and safe. Your baby sets the pace with plenty of time for quieting, soothing, diaper changes, feeding, and cuddling. I like to shoot siblings and parent poses first so that we can concentrate on baby images for the rest of the shoot. The studio will be very warm to keep baby comfortable, so dressing in layers is a good idea. There are many delicious places to eat near by as well after the family portion of your newborn's session is done. I


After Your Session


One to two weeks after your session it’s time for your big reveal! We’ll schedule a personal ordering session where we can review the beautiful images from your session and choose images for prints, albums, birth announcements, and all the other wonderful photo products available for decorating and sharing.


HOW LONG ARE SESSIONS?

Newborn sessions are typically 1.5 to 3 hours, so plan to make a morning of it. This allows us time to feed, sooth, and change baby.
