Newborns

We bring the newborn session to you in the comfort of your home. After becoming a doula Leslie realized how important it is to keep babies in their environment. It is easier for a mom to relax, after giving birth the last thing you want to do is get ready and leave with a newborn. Your baby will be relaxed with the sounds and smells of home.

I am excited to meet you. Your newborn pictures will become art in your home, in this tiny moment that they are this small.

I care more about the safety of your baby than the pose or the perfect “Pinterest” picture.

I am pleased to announce that I just completed my safety certification with APNPI (Accredited Professional Newborn Photographers International).

I am CPR certified with an emphasis on newborn babies.

I keep current with the newest trends and important information in two ways. The first is that I attend a newborn retreat with the top newborn photographers from all over the world covering a broad range of topics. I also have a local group of photographers who share ideas and help each other in our business.

Newborns should be between 3-8 days old. I will have no problem getting good portraits for up to 4 weeks, it will change the poses I’m able to get them in. If you want to have those cute little naked pictures then 3-8 days is the best.

• $450 Newborn session- This session includes my talents and time with the session, time spent editing, and an online gallery that you can share with your family and friends. The session usually takes about 2 hours but will go up to 3 hours. Because after all, your baby is the one in charge. I give plenty of time for feeding, diaper changes, and making everything as stress-free as possible. I will provide the backgrounds, props, and wraps. Please feel free to provide a special blanket, stuffed animal, or toy. 10 high-quality digital images are included.

• $500 Newborn and Lifestyle Session- This includes the newborn session and an additional 30 minutes to capture those candid pictures or pictures with mom and dad, siblings, pets, or maybe how the baby fits into your life. This is a special time. 15 high-quality digital images are included.

Newborns come when they want so I will be in good contact with you around your due date. I hold room in my schedule for upcoming newborns. A $500.00 retainer is due either at your maternity session or when scheduled.
