The cutest little nugget! Isn’t this seen baby girl beautiful!? She wanted to stay awake for the majority of her newborn session with me at my Wilmington, NC newborn studio. I didn’t mind one bit because it truly brought out smooch personality in her photos. I just love her poses with Mom and Dad. You can see the love they share for her.

Thank. you for trusting me with your sweet little bundle. 

Also I wanted to go over some options of what I offer in prints and products.

I just love seeing these families for a maternity and then a newborn session. I love how this Momma glows being pregnant. Her beach maternity session had the perfect evening as we did a little off roading to our location. Her beautiful baby girl made her appearance in our studio at two weeks old. She did so well and is just gorgeous. Welcome to this world little one. I am so thankful to see them all again and if you are interested in learning more about booking a maternity session with newborn session with me please contact me HERE

TIPS FOR SUCCESS DURING YOUR NEWBORN SESSION

Keep baby awake for a minimum of 90 minutes or more prior to your session start time.

Nursing? Avoid spicy foods for 24 hours or more before your session.

Schedule shots or immunizations the week (or at least 48 hours) prior to your session date.

If you use a pacifier, bring it with you but don’t use it prior to the session.

Turn off your phone so you won’t be distracted during the session.

Your hands may be visible. Time for that manicure! I like to grab details photos.

PACK YOUR BAG

Sessions can last 2-3 hours, so a “Newborn Session Kit” is a great idea.

Here are some things to include:

• Your Special Blankets

• Extra Milk or Formula

• Extra Diapers

• Baby Wipes

• Pacifier

• Any sentimental items you want in your image but everything is provided.

Ten Little Fingers. Ten Little Toes

I love babies and isn’t this sweet baby girl the sweetest?! 

Wiggling, stretching, sweet little newborns — nothing is more precious.

I love to create artistic images that reflect the deep emotional bond you and your baby share,

along with every adorable detail. I love the smile she gave us.

My goals are simple. When you see your images, I want you to instantly remember these intimate, fleeting moments and to relive the indescribable joy you feel right now. These images are meant to be heirlooms.

Investments in future memories that will warm hearts for generations.

Let’s create your future memories now — together.

I get asked often about what products I use during my newborn photography sessions. I have used a variety of things throughout the years. The items in this list are some of my must haves that I reach for during every session. Sometimes I have fussy babies and they are definitely needed, other times I have very content babies and I never have to reach for them. I keep them all at arms reach so my sessions are rarely interrupted with having to grab something to soothe these precious little ones. Every baby is different. Here is my list, links to purchase are in the title.

The Well Known Baby Shusher: 

This is a very helpful gadget and if you follow any newborn photographers behind the scenes, I am sure you will hear this little gadget in the background. It is a white noise machine that helps soothe babies. I think most times I am so use to hearing this machine, it definitely gets me focused! lol but for me it is a staple to have not too far for any newborn session.

A Vibration Machine:

Sometimes babies need an extra pat on the back or their bottom and this helps give you an extra hand. Definitely keep this near by for a little extra help.

A Soothing Heartbeat Sound Machine:

This little gadget is a great little noise maker and I turn it on for every session. It’s soothing to babies to hear the heartbeat. Something they heard for 9 months in the womb.

Hospital Grade Pacifiers:

I know some Moms don’t like to use them but during a newborn session where we are moving baby from position to position it is a MUST to have near by just in case babies need a little more soothing techniques to keep them happy and sleepy. This style is the only one I will use in my newborn studio. I keep them on hand just in case Moms forget to bring one and many times don’t have this right style that babies like.

A Warm Heater:

A warm heater is a MUST to keep those babies warm during my table poses where their clothes are off or minimal. Keep a baby warm with a full tummy is very important before a session can begin. Once the table poses are done and we swaddle babies nice and snug, is when I will turn my warmer off.
