March 15, 2024
Before booking a newborn session with a photographer, it's important to ask the right questions to ensure that you find the perfect fit for your family and your vision. Here are seven questions to consider asking:
1. How long have you been a newborn photographer and what is your experience?
It's essential to work with a photographer who has experience specifically with newborn babies. Ask about their training, background, and how many newborn sessions they've done.
2. Do you have a newborn portfolio that I can review?
Reviewing a photographer's portfolio will give you a sense of their style and the quality of their work.
3. What safety measures do you have in place for newborn pictures?
Safety is paramount when photographing newborns. Ask about the photographer's approach to handling and posing infants to ensure that your baby will be safe and comfortable throughout their pictures.
4. What is included in the session fee, and are there any additional costs?
Clarify what is included in the session fee, such as the length of the session, the number of edited images provided, digital downloads, and any prints or products. Also, ask if there are any additional costs for family and siblings to be included in the photos.
5. When is the best time to schedule a newborn portrait session?
Newborn pictures are typically done within the first two weeks of life when babies are sleepiest and most cooperative. You should schedule your appointment by your 3rd trimester. By booking early you are garneted to get in at the best time and to ensure you capture those precious early moments.
6. Do you have a studio or do sessions take place in-home?
Some photographers have a dedicated studio space for newborn sessions, while others offer in-home sessions. Clarify where the session will take place and whether any travel fees apply.
7. What should we expect during the portrait session, and how can we prepare?
Understanding what to expect during the session will help you and your family feel more relaxed and prepared. Ask about the flow of the session, what to bring, and any tips for ensuring a successful session. Here is my "how to prep for your newborn session guide." click here to read.
Asking these questions will help you gather the necessary information to make an informed decision and find the right photographer to capture those precious early moments of your baby's life.

TOP 8 BENEFITS FOR HAVING MATERNITY PHOTOS TAKEN!
March 9, 2024
1. Capture a Special Time: Pregnancy is a unique and fleeting period in a person's life. Maternity sessions allow parents to capture the beauty and joy of this time, creating lasting memories to cherish.
2. Document Growth: Pregnancy is a journey marked by physical and emotional changes. Maternity sessions provide an opportunity to document the progression of the pregnancy, from the early stages to the final weeks.
3. Celebrate the Bond: Maternity photoshoots are a chance to celebrate the bond between parents and their unborn child. They can include intimate moments between partners, as well as shots of the expectant mother alone, showcasing her strength and beauty.
4. Involve Siblings: For families with older children, maternity sessions can be a way to involve siblings in the excitement of welcoming a new family member. Including siblings in the photoshoot can help them feel connected to the pregnancy and the new baby.
5. Boost Confidence: Pregnancy can sometimes make women feel self-conscious about their changing bodies. A maternity photoshoot with a skilled photographer can help expectant mothers feel beautiful and confident, capturing their radiance and strength.
6. Create Heirlooms: Maternity photoshoots produce images that can be treasured for generations to come. They serve as heirlooms that tell the story of a family's journey and the anticipation of welcoming a new life into the world.
7. Announce the Pregnancy: Maternity photos can also be a creative way to announce the pregnancy to friends and family, whether through traditional prints or social media posts.
8. Professional Expertise: A professional photographer can provide guidance on posing, lighting, and styling to ensure that the images capture the essence of the pregnancy in a beautiful and artistic way.
Overall, maternity sessions offer a chance to commemorate this special time in a family's life, creating images that will be cherished for years to come.

Lifestyle Newborn Photographer in Buffalo NY
Welcome to the world baby boy!
I had the honor to photograph this beautiful family's newborn session. I was so excited when they reached out to me to capture these special moments for them. Big brother was in for his newborn photos back in 2019 so when I found out he was going to be a big brother I couldn't wait to see them. For their newborn pictures this time around they wanted to do some lifestyle newborn photos. I transformed the studio to accommodate this style and I'm so in love with how they turned out!
