THE NEWBORN EXPERIENCE

TORONTO NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER

Congratulations! You are on the brink of welcoming your baby, and I am excited to celebrate with you and capture these beautifully surreal moments. As a Toronto newborn photographer, I am dedicated to supporting you every step of the way. My newborn sessions feature posed, sleepy photos of your baby, as well as photos of the family loving on the baby. Additionally, I offer in-home newborn sessions, allowing for adorable lifestyle images in the comfort of your own home, showcasing your family’s love for your new bundle of joy.

THE PROCESS

SAy hello


The first step in all great relationships is the introductions. Simply reach out through the ‘Book Now’ button above and tell me some important details about yourself. Once I’ve got your details, I will reply you within 24 hours with important information about the session. I may send you a text just to make sure my message reached you!

consultation


We will then consult with your vision, color choices and package details for the session. I will send over an electronic contract and questionnaire. A paid session fee and signed agreement are required to secure your session. Baby’s arrival is unpredictable, so upon booking we will pencil in your due date ensuring the weeks before and after your session are also booked off. Upon the baby’s arrival, I ask that you send me a message as soon as possible, and we will schedule your actual shoot date! Typically, we aim for 4-14 days old!

THE SESSION


It’s finally here! From the moment you arrive, I want you to be able to sit back and relax! I love babies and I give them the utmost attention that they need. We will start with the family photos, that way if there are any older siblings we can do those photos right away and then they are free to go. Then it’ll be all eyes on that new bundle of joy for their solo photos.

your images


Within a week you will receive your proofing gallery via email. Your proofs are lightly edited to give you an idea of their final appearance. Once you’ve selected your images for your package, I will put the finishing touches on your photos and send the download link to your high resolution files. Your gallery will remain active for one month after delivery, allowing you plenty of time to share with family and decided on any purchases.

FAQs

Why is it important to hire a photographer who specializes in Newborn photography?

Newborn photography is probably the only niche of photography that requires not only a camera and lighting skills, but also training of safe baby handling and posing. Your baby’s safety is a priority! I have attended many online and in-person newborn workshops. I also continue to work on my education to stay current with industry standards. I’m a member of APNPI.

When is the best time to book a newborn session?

I recommend getting on my schedule as early as possible in your pregnancy. My calendar tends to fill up and booking in advanced guarantees I am able to do your session. I will save your due date in my calendar but we will define the session date once baby is here. Booking early ensures that you have your photo session between the ideal time frame for newborn photos. If possible, please don’t wait until after bay is born to book because I rarely have last minute availability and I wouldn’t want to say no to photographing your baby.

When is it best to have the session done?

The best time to photograph a newborn is between 5-14 days of age. This is because when they are this young they tend to sleep for most of the session and their bodies naturally curve into the really cute poses we put them on. As they hit that two week mark they go through a stage of development where they want to see everything and are more sensitive to the touch. However, if your baby is older, you can definitely get gorgeous images, the workflow and poses will just be a bit different. I’ve done newborn up to 6 weeks of age!

How long does a newborn session last?

The full newborn session lasts anywhere from 2 to 3 hours. Newborn sessions cannot be rushed and I always follow the baby’s lead. Some babies are very sleepy and agreeable and it takes less time, but some babies are more sensitive and need more time to eat and settle down. I always make sure we capture all details of your precious baby.

What can I expect?

My sessions are completely baby led. Some babies prefer things one way, some prefer things a different way, and because of that no two shoots are very the same. I only book one session a day to ensure we are not rushed and gives us plenty of time for baby to feed and settle and also means I get to sneak in a few cuddles along the way too!

Do I need to bring outfits for the baby or parents?

The answer is simple. No! I provide all the necessary props for all my newborn sessions. If you have any items that are very meaningful for you, I will be happy to incorporate them during our newborn photography session. Please let me know about it ahead of time. For parents, I have some options for mom and dad, but I will provide a guide on what to wear for your newborn session in case you want to have your own.

Where will the session be?

Your newborn session can take place in my Stouffville, ON studio or in your home depending on the type of session you choose. Posed newborns take place in the studio only. Lifestyle newborns can be held in your home or in my studio.

What if the baby arrives sooner/later than the due date?

Don’t worry, I have flexibility in my calendar, so I will be able to fit your session in my calendar even if the baby arrives earlier or later than the due date. My clients usually text me once the baby arrives, so we can adjust the session date if needed.

DO YOU PROVIDE THE RAW FILES?

You will be provided with edited images only. Each picture is hand-edited and will be a representation of my work. Be sure to look at my portfolio to ensure my work and style are a good match for you.

DO I GET THE DIGITALS?

You get to keep your chosen images. Clients will receive a full gallery of professionally edited images at print resolution. Prints, wall art and albums are available through your online gallery shop.

Do you provide unedited images?

Unedited images don’t accurately represent my creative work and will not be provided. You’ll still get to see all the pictures from your session in an edited and watermarked proofing gallery.
