How soon after birth should the session be scheduled?
I am often booked several weeks in advance, and it’s VITAL to shoot newborns between 5-12 days of birth. If you wait until you have the baby to contact me, I may not have a slot for you within that timeframe.
Later than 2 weeks old and the baby will have not only grown and changed considerably since birth (losing the “newborn look”), but they become much more reactive and less calm during the shoots.
I understand that scheduling a newborn session depends on your due date and when the baby decides to show up. For this type of shoot, please let me know your due date as soon as you’d like to book and we can confirm a shoot within 7-10 days of the date you’d like to schedule.
How much room do you need to set up? How can you take photos at my house?
I work with all natural light and lighting equipment with babies, so I don’t need much space at all. As long as you provide some open space near a window that gets good light, you can leave the rest to me.
