Newborn sessions take anywhere from two to four hours, depending on lots of factors. My time will be centered around baby’s sleep, so if s/he wants to eat or needs a diaper change, we stop and tend to his/her needs until s/he’s ready again. And, if this isn’t your first baby, we have to consider the nap and meal schedule of brothers and sisters, too. I will bring swaddles and other props, using them only if you agree they will add to the images. I will ask you to share your little bundle of joy with me right away, so that s/he can get familiar with me before I begin positioning him/her, wrapping and re-wrapping the swaddle, etc. I will also ask you to show me around your home to scout for best locations (we may even schedule time to do this before the session date).
When the session is complete, I will move out (!), and get to work on editing and delivering your digital gallery, including a minimum of 75 images, within three weeks.
A $165 deposit (applied toward the total fee) is required to book your session. Locations more than 20 miles from my location will be charged an additional $50 per hour travel fee plus $0.67 per mile.
