Calgary Lifestyle Newborn Session

As a newborn photographer I get a lot of questions about how to prepare for your newborn session. Here’s my answer, have a baby and get dressed. You don’t even need to clean up, I have a lot of experience shuffling laundry and toys out of the way so I’ve got that covered. We all know how I feel about babies in a basket so I like to focus on keeping everyone comfortable and casual in your home. I know how stressful it is being a new parent so I want the process of capturing your sweet newborn as chill as possible. I allow lots of time for diaper changes and snack breaks, for baby and mama.

As far as newborn sessions go, simple is best. There’s no need to plan out elaborate outfits or rearrange the furniture. We’ll use the natural light throughout your home. The couch, your bed and baby’s nursery usually make great photo spots. We’ll make sure to get lots of photos of you snuggling your new babe, all the cute things you’ve picked out for their new room and of course their adorable features like tiny toes, chubby thighs and that weird George Costanza cul de sac that you hope goes away.

I didn’t get newborn photos with either of my babes and it’s something that I’ve always regretted. Even though you might be exhausted, squishy and not feeling very photogenic I promise one day you’ll cherish them and so will your kids.
