Once you are through through the first trimester, I recommend beginning the process of setting up your newborn session. I will use your due date as a temporary placeholder on my calendar. The ideal window for capturing newborn photos is in the first two weeks of life. 

I highly recommend light colored clothing for a newborn session. This opens up any shadows around the newborn while you are holding him/her for photos. Find a stretchy dress for yourself, some simple khakis with a light-colored button down shirt for your hubby and simple outfits for other family members. Newborns only need a simple, light-colored swaddle to feel safe, secure and content for the session. No fancy outfit necessary for baby!

Every baby is so different! I have given the same instructions to mommas for years and each baby just decides what he/she is going to do that day. But never fear! I allow plenty of time for nursing, snuggles and rewrapping swaddles. Soon those squirmy babies drift off to sleep and I can get those sweet images you want. Just relax, don't stress and snuggle your baby awake or asleep. That's all that is really needed for beautiful images.

Within 2-3 weeks of your session, you'll receive a link to a digital gallery that will allow you to download high resolution images. 

The gallery is also set up to make ordering prints, canvases and other keepsakes as easy as turning on a Roomba to clean your floors. Those keepsakes are only a click away!
