Newborn photography Session
Photographing babies is one of the happiest times in a family’s life and I am so happy to be a part of it!
My newborn photography sessions are quiet, personal and very unique.
During my newborn photography sessions with infants,
I am very delicate, always taking my time in working with the baby.
I do suggest to my clients to schedule the photography session within the first 7-14 days after birth. This is the best time for newborn portraits because as you will see babies tend to become more and more alert and have much longer periods of awake time making it much more difficult to capture those beautiful poses.
For every of my sessions, I consult with parents how to prepare for the session such as feeding the baby before arrive to the studio, planning and coordinating outfits for family members, and discussing specific props or poses a client may want and making sure we use things that will work the best.I offer two options for newborn photography sessions
In client's home sessions, I called them lifestyle sessions!
and my home studio located in Norwalk, Connecticut.
NEWBORN SESSION IN HOME
The portraits taken in client's home are more lifestyle than posed, although I do take the time to capture some posed moments if possible. The in home sessions are done using natural light so that's why I always suggest that you have good natural light in your home. You can see the difference in cost of an in home session is more than a studio session simply because it involves more time in travel and packing of the newborn props and equipment
needed for a successful newborn photography session.

YOU MEET YOUR NEW BABY!
Maternity
The best time to perform a pregnancy session is between 28-34 weeks of pregnancy. The session lasts approximately 1-11/2 hours depending on the package selected. This is absolutely enough to capture the most important emotions. During our session, we always try to show future mother in a natural, but at the same time beautiful and feminine way.
However, if you have any doubts about choosing the right place for a belly session, we will be happy to suggest several options. Most often, we arrange pregnancy sessions in our studio or outdoors, but we are also very happy when can photograph you in your home.
Once we have set the date and location of the pregnancy session, it's time to arrange the people you love. It is worth considering whether you want to participate alone, with your husband or with children. We're open to all ideas and suggestions, although we believe that joint sessions with your loved ones have the greatest power.
When photographing the future mother, it is important to wear appropriate clothing, make-up. That's why we promise to make you look and feel amazing by offering our client wardrobe and offer our amazing hair and makeup artist.
