Newborn Portraits
Our clients often describe their time with us as creative, safe, and easy-going. With over 14 years of experience, you can trust that your precious baby is in the best hands possible. Our studio offers ample space for feeding, soothing, relaxing, and capturing images that showcase every little detail in an artistically stunning way.
We understand how important it is to provide the best experience for both you and your new little one, and we work closely with you to ensure that’s exactly what you receive. You can rest assured that we will go above and beyond to create timeless and beautiful portraits that you will treasure for a lifetime.
How this works
Starting with the end in mind for your newborn portraits, I will work with you to plan how your images will be displayed in your home. This allows me to collaborate with you to tailor your portrait session to your specific needs. By considering where and how your images will be seen, you can create a cohesive and meaningful collection that tells your family’s story.
You may want an iconic image to hang on one of your walls or a collection of smaller images that will hang together to fill a larger wall space. We can work together to create a wall that makes a statement.
Incorporating older images with new ones is also a great way to create a family gallery that tells a complete story. By combining images from different times, you can see how your family has grown and changed over the years.
Creating a custom-designed album is another wonderful option for those who may not have a lot of wall space or who are moving soon. A luxurious album allows you to preserve the photos in a beautiful and tangible way that can be cherished for years to come.
The Design Consultation
Working with me as your guide during our design consultation, will ensure that your newborn portraits serve a purpose and are not just a random collection of images or pictures sitting on a drive in a drawer after sharing a few images on social media. If you are looking for a fully tailored experience that includes design, clothing consultation and installation of your wall art, then let’s begin the process together!
Our process for creating your newborn portraits begins with a Design Consultation, where we take the time to learn about you. We are happy to answer any questions you may have during the consultation, including set design for your photographs as we look through our extensive collection of wraps, props and hats for you little one as well as the investment required, and the most suitable areas of your home for displaying the portraits. Additionally, we welcome any questions about your portrait session. You may include your spouse, if you want to include siblings, this is a seperate add on session.
What to Wear
After your Design Consultation, you’ll have a clear idea of the outfits that will look great for your newborn portrait session as we collaborate to design the look of your your wardrobe if you and your spouse have chosen to be in the images with your newborn. We are available to consult with you about any additional outfits you may have at home to coordinate after going through the wraps you have already chosen via phone, email, or Zoom meetings in the time leading up to your Portrait Session. We will work together to finalize your outfits at least one week before your scheduled session, giving us plenty of time to make any last-minute changes.
The day of your Portrait Session
During a newborn session, I typically sets aside 3 to 4 hours to allow for feeding, diaper changes, and getting the baby settled into a comfortable position. These sessions usually take place within the first two weeks of the baby’s life, when they tend to sleep more and curl up into those adorable poses.
At the start of the session, I work closely with your baby to create a safe and comfortable environment. Your baby will be swaddled in a soft wrap and carefully positioned in different poses to capture their delicate features. I may also use accessories like hats or headbands to add some variety to the portraits.
Throughout the session, the baby’s needs are the top priority. They will be fed and changed as needed, and I will work around their schedule. Keeping the room warm and cozy is important to help your baby feel comfortable and sleepy, so they can stay relaxed and settle into those adorable poses.
Viewing and Ordering Session
Your Viewing and Order appointment will take place about a week after your portrait session at our studio. This appointment is crucial as it’s the time when you’ll make final decisions on your portrait order. We highly recommend scheduling a time that works for both you and your spouse.
With our advanced software and pictures of your home’s walls, we can display your portraits scaled to the appropriate size. This ensures that your portraits will fit perfectly and won’t be too big or too small.
We’ll be with you every step of the way, using your initial goals from the consultation to help you achieve the exact look and feel you want for your family portraits.
Delivery and Installation of your Artwork
The majority of our clients choose to have their portraits delivered and installed in their homes. You can expect to receive your portraits around 4-6 weeks after placing your order, and our team will take care of everything from delivery to installation.
By opting for this service, you can avoid any potential arguments over the placement of your portraits. Instead of having to deal with the hassle of hanging them yourself, our team will handle all the heavy lifting and make sure everything is positioned perfectly. This way, both spouses can rest easy and enjoy the beautiful portraits of their family without any disagreements.
