Lifestyle Newborn Session | Orlando Newborn Photographer

/

Did you know I offer a pre-session consultation with all my clients prior to a session? This call ensures all the details are worked out prior to the session. Here are a few topics that we usually cover for an in-home lifestyle newborn session.

  1. Outfits! Attire can make or break a session, and I LOVE styling my clients so that the clothing choices complement each other, and the space we will be shooting in.

  2. I love to get a virtual tour of the nursery and any other spaces I will be photographing in. Seeing the rooms in advance helps me visualize the shoot, understand the lighting in the areas, and recommend colors for your outfits that complement the space.

  3. Tips for a smooth session. I share a lot of information about how to prepare for the session, and give some pointers. Here are a couple examples:

    • I tend to incorporate a lot of hands in my photos, so while you don't need a perfect mani, it's always best to just ensure your nails are trimmed and painted solid, or no paint at all, prior to the shoot.

    • About 30 minutes before I arrive, have baby dressed in the onesie/swaddle you want him/her photographed in. This is helpful in case baby falls asleep before I arrive, I can get started right away with the sleepy shots.

    • If the crib sheet wrinkles easily, I always recommend having it ironed before the shoot to make those wrinkles less noticeable.

    • If you have a mirror in the nursery, give it a quick clean to ensure there are no finger prints on it. I love capturing reflections in mirrors during the session!

  4. I get to know more about YOUR vision for the session too. I will ask you a few questions like, if you are nursing, would you like feeding images? I’ll also find out if you would prefer for me to wear a mask during the shoot, which I have no problem with if it improves your comfort level with an outsider being inside your home.

Sometimes we cover more, but off the top of my head those are the common discussion points. Many clients tell me they love this extra service and attention to detail.

Are you expecting? I’d love to hear from you! Newborn sessions are generally booked several months in advance, so be sure to reach out while still pregnant to ensure I have space on my calendar!
