Newborns
Cypress and Houston Newborn Photographer - Baby Photographer
The first few weeks of a newborn's life seem to fly by (not to mention the first few years!) and I am here to freeze…to help remember this precious journey. Let's document this newborn yumminess for you to cherish for years to come.
When do I need to schedule my newborn photography session?
Newborn sessions are typically done 5-14 days after birth. Although I recommend reaching out several months in advance, I understand how overwhelming and busy pregnancy is and encourage you to contact me at any time....I don't want you to miss out on timeless, professional photographs. If I can accommodate a late-minute newborn session, I will.
What do I need to bring to my newborn session?
I have everything you will need for your session including over 100 colors/shades of wraps and backdrops, headbands, outfits, sleepy hats, bonnets and countless props. If there is something special you would like to include, please let me know in advance and we can absolutely plan the session around it.
I see that you have a lot of colors, wraps and props on your website. How do you decide what props and colors to use?
We will discuss colors and expectations prior to your session so I can have everything ready to go when you show up. I like to show parents the studio during the consultation and you can see everything in person as we start to plan out your session.
How safe are the newborn sessions?
Safety is my first priority. Your baby's safety is far more important to me than capturing a perfect pose.
All fabrics are washed with detergents that are free of harsh chemicals after each session. And all surfaces are wiped down and disinfected after and prior to each session.
What should I expect during the newborn photography session?
I keep the room warm for the comfort of the baby so I recommend wearing summer clothes.
Please plan on keeping the baby awake for the hours prior to the session so they are nice and sleepy once we get started.
Be prepared to feed your baby right before you leave for the session and dress them in a loose sleeper that snaps or zips down the front (nothing that needs to come off over their head). The goal is for baby to fall into a deep sleep on the drive to the studio. Babies with full tummies tend to sleep longer.
Once you arrive and the baby is fed, I take it from there. You are welcome to sit back and relax. Bring your laptop. Listen to a podcast. Catch up on sleep. Whatever you would like to do with your free time.
Can I be in the photos as well?
Of course! I love photographing newborns with their family. For many, this will be your first official family portrait.
How long will the session be?
Newborn sessions typically last between 2-4 hours, depending on the baby. Most babies will sleep the entire time and the session will last 3-4 hours. Every baby is different however, and some sessions only last around 2 hours.
When will I see my images?
