PLANNING
Planning for your session can be fun, and not scary! Try to take some inspiration from the images below in the "outfit inspo" section. Creams, whites, pastels, and neutrals often photograph the best. As well, you'll want to dress comfy, but dressy. Flowy dresses for the new momma are ideal, and a layered look for dad always looks nice. Think cardigan, button up shirt, sweater, ect.

lifestyle SESSION
It's the day of your session! A few ways you can prep the day-of are by making sure your baby has had a good feeding, fresh diaper change, and are about to take a nap. Sleeping babies are the easiest to photograph. For mom, don't forget to do hair & make-up. Keeping your baby's nursery free of clutter and having natural lighting is also ideal.

Digital images are wonderful for sharing online with friends, but your memories shouldn't only exist online. Your online gallery features the option to select different sizes and finishes for prints, shipped directly to your home. More importantly, I offer heirloom albums to each of my couples. These are high-end, gorgeous albums hand designed by me, and are meant to last decades. A true keepsake that you'll treasure for generations.

Outfit inspo
Below is a gallery of different sessions. For momma, flowy neutral dresses (that are comfy) are ideal. We want your session to be timeless and elevated, so try to avoid jeans or leggings. Whites, creams, pastels, and neutrals in general always bring freshness and brightness to your images. For dad, a collared shirt, sweater, or cardigan photographs beautifully. For your new baby, the same rules apply. Neutrals and pastels are lovely. Try to avoid neon colors (like super bright pinks or bold blues). Plan for one outfit to be a swaddle, and the other to be a true outfit.
Here are some links to props, outfits, and more that you can check out and buy to help maximize your session:
Dresses: Lulus and Baltic Born
Swaddles: Amazon & Caden Lane
Basket: Moses Basket
Bows: Amazon

Two outfits for an hour long session is the max. Most parents opt for just one outfit for themselves, and two outfits for baby. One of those outfits being a nice soft neutral swaddle, and a true outfit.

Ensuring your house is free of clutter, and making sure windows are accessible is best. We'll be shooting inside your home, so we need as much natural lighting as possible. Making sure your baby has a good feeding and fresh diaper change before the session will help as well.

The truth is, babies cry. I've shot so many amazing lifestyle sessions and know that every baby is unique. If your baby is fussy or crying, we will take a break. You'll have the opportunity to nurse or feed, change diaper and rock your baby if they need attention. Please don't ever feel like you can't scoop your baby up AT ANY TIME during the session to console them. This is your brand new baby, and momma needs to do what momma needs to do.
