Newborn sessions are best scheduled between 4-14 days of age. This is done for many reasons. Newborns this young are more likely to “curl up” and remain sleepy for the duration of the session. They are much more tolerant of being posed and moved around than a 3 or 4 week old. If your baby is older than 2 weeks, don’t worry, we can still capture beautiful photos.
As early as possible! I only book one session a week due to the on-call nature of my business. Let me know your due date and we will make tentative plans around that time. Once baby is born, advise me as soon as possible (ideally within the first couple of days and absolutely before baby is 7 days) and we will select an actual date. If you do not contact me within that first week, I cannot guarantee availability before the 2 week mark, so please contact me sooner.
Babies are often sleepy in the morning, so I prefer to start my sessions around 9 am. Newborn sessions are long due to the nature and frequent nurturing of the infant. Please expect a minimum of 2-3 hours.
Yes, you can. I will make every attempt to get you what you want in terms of poses and props; however there are certain poses and props, which in my own opinion, are unsafe. These shots, I will not do. Safety is always my number one priority.
Sessions take place in studio located in West Edmonton.
