Putty in my hands. I love how well she slept and I love all her poses and the detail shots are always my favorite. Little Miss here came in for her newborn session with me very sleepy and didn’t mind all the posing.

What actually happens during a newborn session?

Whether you’re thinking about booking a newborn session or already have a date on the books, I’m sure you’re a bit curious about what, exactly, goes on during a newborn session. How do you get those peaceful looking images? How involved are the parents for the shoot itself? Is it actually possible to “pose” an infant? Below I am pulling back the curtain about what actually happens during a newborn photography session.

The Heat is Turned Up

It sounds bizarre, but I prefer to set the temperature much higher during a newborn session than what you’d normally have it. This helps baby feel warm, comfortable, and — most importantly, sleepy.

We’ll Take Care of All the Poses

You don’t have to come up with poses or image ideas. I’ve got all that covered and know exactly how to set up an image to get great shots. I will also take care of all the prop setup and wrapping.

Mom & Dad Help Spot Baby

Though I do most of the work, we definitely need parents’ help during our shoots to help position baby and work with us to help create images.

Safety is Always Our First Priority

No matter what, I place your child’s safety above all else. If we need to take a break, we will. If a pose isn’t working, there’s always another one to try.

I Have Tricks for Helping Baby Calm Down

I have done quite a few newborn sessions in my day, and I have a few tricks up my sleeve to help calm fussy babies. However, in the case of a baby who is very upset, I am more than happy to reschedule.

Sibling Photos Are Done First or Last

I know that having your children at the photo session for the entire session may be a bit much for them. For that reason, I suggest having sibling poses done either at the beginning or the end of the session, that way they don’t have to say throughout 2 hour or more session time.

Composite Imagery is Done In Post Processing

I will often melt a couple different images into one in order to create the perfect shot. This technique is used by experienced photographers and ensures your newborn images are beautiful.

I just love when they smile. It’s always a winning shot lol And he was so content in all his poses we did during his first session with me. Meet Fransisco, I love all his dark hair and the colors that his Momma chose.

I like to see newborns within the first two weeks and recommend scheduling before you deliver with a tentative date based on your due date. Scheduling with me in your last trimester is recommended. If you have already delivered please contact me for available dates.

What a year it has been and it seems the years have sped up and I am trying to slow them down to savor all the little moments life has to offer these days. Anyone else feeling the same? With almost 20 years now of being in this sweet business of mine, I am pause more often to see where growth has taken place. For one, I don’t fret the small stuff anymore. What will be, will be and God takes cares of the rest. I do continue to push myself and try something new. Whether it be with posing newborns, new lighting techniques or new props, these are all things that make this business so enjoyable to me.

I am thankful for each client that comes through my doors and the joy of snuggling their little one still has me loving this business as much as I ever did. SO here is just a few of my favorites from this past year. With that said…

I am now booking 2023 due dates! Please send me a message HERE to schedule and to ask any questions about how my sessions work. I look forward to hearing from you 🙂

Isn’t she stunning! I adore the colors going on here. They go perfect with her skin tone and hair color. I was totally crushing on this maternity session as it all came together in front of me with the desert landscape. This sweet couple is expecting their little guy this July and I can’t wait to meet him and see if he has Mommas hair color. They will soon be leaving for Texas after he is born and I am so sad to see them go. But for sure I am honored to be able to capture these memories for them.

I am so happy to be able to offer maternity sessions in Wilmington but also traveling to Sneads Ferry, Hampstead and more for maternity and newborn photography.

Isn’t she just adorable?! Meet Lily. I love all her hair. Mom and Dad are Dr.’s at Banner Medical Center so of course we had to add an image with dads stethoscope.

I love meeting all these babies being a Wilmington newborn photographer and serving other areas such as Peoria, Goodyear and Surprise, Arizona.

Look at all that gorgeous hair! This little one came into the studio with eyes wide open. Love how alert she was and then slowly we got her to sleep. She was so content and relaxed. I love her skin tone and jet black hair with the peaches and creamy look. Makes me think of Snow White. 🙂

Being a luxury Wilmington newborn photographer but serving areas all over the Wilmington including Hampstead, Holly Ridge and Sneads Ferry, North Carolina I get to enjoy meeting newborns from all over.
