— With love, jessica
Congratulations on the birth of your little one and expanding family!
I'm honored to photography this special time in your life and can't wait to capture these beautiful moments for you to look back on.
In this guide you will find helpful information to help you prepare for your session. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
I'm Jessica
Welcome
Keep reading for more details on how to prepare for your newborn session.
The session is all about connection. The smile on your face while you look at your baby, daddy's hands holding your little newborn... The first days with your baby are so special and I want to capture this beautiful moment for you to cherish forever.
We will mostly photograph your family in the primary bedroom, nursery, and living area. Whichever has the best light! Don't worry too much about having a clean house, I'm happy to help shift things around for a more photographable space. Sessions are typically scheduled in the mornings, when newborns are the least fussy.
After your session I will cull and edit your photos. Your gallery is typical ready within 2-3 weeks of your session. You will receive a link to your private gallery, then it's time to enjoy them!

the process
By booking your newborn session, I will get your due date on my calender. Since the arrival of the baby is typically unpredictable, we will schedule your session after the baby is born. Please contact me as soon as the baby arrives, so we can schedule your session.
I suggest scheduling when the baby is 2-14 days old, to get those cute, sleepy newborns. But there is never a wrong time to document your baby!
Before the Session
scheduling your session
You can change and feed the baby just before the session, so the baby will be sleepy. Depending on how the baby does, the session can take anywhere from 1 to 3 hours. We will take our time and never rush! We will take a break when baby wants a break. And remember, when you are relaxed, so is the baby.
Day of the Session
your session date is here!
I know you want to tell your children that when we have the session, they should look into the camera, smile, and do exactly as the photographer asks them to.
Well, I’m going to ask you not to do that.
Because children never do as we say, right?
And this is not how I want it to be during our session, a moment full of exhortations.
It should be a moment of laughter and joy.
And this is also how I’m working. To take your photos, I will play with your children. I will make funny sounds, do ugly dances, play peek-a-boo, and everything in between. I want you to tell your children that you are going away to have fun.
I know all children are different. Some are shy, some are very enthusiastic, and some don’t want their photos taken at all. Some children need more time to warm up, while others don’t. You know your children the best, and please let me know before our session if there is anything you feel I need to know about your children.
Feel free to use bribes (a great gift to all mothers). Often, smaller rewards throughout the session work better than a big reward at the end. Like an m&m after a few clicks of the camera, this helps the little ones maintain focus.
As I said, you know your children the best and if you feel that a reward after the session can work on them, go for it.
But most important is that you try to excite the children as much as possible before the session and not give any exhortations.
