Can anyone relate to being an over-planner? Or do you like to fly by the seat of your pants when it comes to that stuff?

I am hands down a planner!
It's imperative for me to plan your newborn portraits as soon as baby comes so we can ensure to capture these precious moments in the right time frame.
When did you have your newborn pictures scheduled - before baby or after arrival? Post below!

Are you more interested in having a 'day-in-the-life' shoot for your newborn pictures, or would you prefer to have expertly posed pictures highlighting your newborn's tiny features?

The answer to that question can help you determine which newborn photography style to use for your newborn portraits!
If you like more 'day-in-the-life' pictures, that's called lifestyle photography. If you like more posed pictures, that called studio photography.
Comment below with your choice - pictures for bonus points!

Babies definitely like to keep us on our toes—always guessing exactly when they’ll arrive and make their big debut! While it can be fun to place bets on the big day, it can unfortunately make the process of choosing the perfect date to capture their very newborn photography session feel near-impossible.

For those of you who have already had your babies, did you have a designated 'contact person' that would keep the rest of your family and friends apprised of baby's arrival?

If not - you should definitely consider doing so! But don't forget to add your newborn photographer to that list to make sure your portraits are scheduled in a timely manner!

You've thought about getting newborn pictures done, but have you thought about how you imagine seeing and enjoying your newborn's memories years from now?
Do you want to have your memories lining the walls of your home so you can see them every day or do you want your memories to tell a story and be preserved in a way that you could easily pass them down to your children some day?

Are you expecting your little blessing any time soon?

Did you know you should already have your newborn photographer booked BEFORE your baby's due date?

Guess what?! Both of my babies came way past my due date! I had no idea how to schedule their newborn portraits, since they were so late!
I was terrified I would miss this precious time in their little lives! Have you felt that same fear?
Well don't worry - I've got you covered! We'll schedule two dates for your newborn portraits to ensure we have time to capture your newborn's precious moments!

Not sure which newborn style of photography works best for you? Let me help you decide by going over your options one at a time.
What is studio newborn photography?With studio newborn photography, you can expect to go to your photographer's studio to document your beginning together. Your photographer will design scenes and have props prepared for your portraits, all of which will be posed to highlight your baby’s itty bitty features and your best attributes.

Did you have studio newborn photos done? If so, post them below!

Did you feel overwhelmed right before birth to keep everyone updated on your baby's projected arrival?
I know I did!
A quick tip to help ease that stress, is to create an email list of all the family members that want updates and just send one email a week after your doctor's appointments, or when anything exciting happens!

Confession time:
I have an incredibly old cat named Stanley. He is the sweetest thing - most of the time! But I NEVER wanted to have him in my newborn photos. Mostly because he has a strange growth on his face that would totally take away from the cuteness of the newborn!
Did you have your furbabies in your newborn portraits with you?
Let's see them in the comments!

After photographing newborns for 14 years, I have created a calculated method for choosing a date that works like a charm almost every time!
With a little bit of math, a lot a bit of medicine, and plenty of keeping in touch towards the end of your pregnancy, we can secure the perfect date months before your baby even arrives!

Not sure which newborn style of photography works best for you? Let me help you decide by going over your options one at a time.
What is lifestyle newborn photography?

Lifestyle newborn photography is captured in your home and it typically documents life as it organically happens, with minimal posing of the baby, mom and dad.

Did you have lifestyle newborn photos done? If so, post them below!
