Waiting on your baby to arrive is one of the most joyous and exciting times in anyone\u2019s life. You have nurtured this little one with all you\u2019ve got, celebrated this momentous journey with friends and family, decorated the perfect nursery, and dreamed of what your baby will look like. Once your baby arrives you will quickly realize that while we\u2019d like it to, time does not slow down, and this is such a fleeting time. You\u2019ll want to remember all the precious little details of your baby from how fuzzy their head is to how tiny and curly their little toes are. Good news\u2026I\u2019m here to help preserve your legacy!<\/span><\/p>\nMy fine art newborn portrait sessions capture the delicate features of your baby and are styled to perfection customized to your style preferences resulting in beautiful artwork that you and your family will treasure for generations to come. Imagine having perfectly styled artwork displayed throughout your home that you can enjoy seeing every day as your baby rapidly grows. And further than that, imagine sitting down with your child throughout their life as well as with your grandbabies someday, to flip through beautiful heirloom albums from their beginning. Children feel so loved when they see portraits of themselves proudly displayed and really enjoy seeing what they looked like when they were little.<\/span><\/p>\n If you\u2019re still reading this you\u2019ve probably already decided\u2026 \u201cYes! I need to schedule my baby for a session!\u201d So, I want to share with you how that works at our studio and what you can expect from your newborn session.<\/span><\/p>\n I always recommend reaching out to book your newborn session while you\u2019re in your second trimester. Don\u2019t worry, we won\u2019t be scheduling an actual session date until after your little bundle of joy arrives. However, booking while you\u2019re still pregnant reserves your due date on my calendar and guarantees you a session within those first important couple of weeks after baby arrives. Newborns are best photographed during the first 14 days to capture their newness while they\u2019re still very sleepy and flexible. Unfortunately, I\u2019m not always able to accommodate newborn clients who contact me after baby is born, so reserving your session ahead of time is the way to go. <\/span><\/p>\n I start working with each client in the same way\u2026 We\u2019ll chat quick via phone to see if we\u2019re a good fit, then meet in person for a design consultation prior to booking. This appointment doesn\u2019t take long but is very important. It gives you a chance to meet me and make sure you\u2019re feel comfortable putting your brand new baby in my care. I will also explain my entire process for you, answer any questions you have, go over my full product menu and artwork samples, and of course (the fun part) discuss how to style your session.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Whether you have specific ideas of how you\u2019d like your session to look, or no clue at all, I\u2019m here to help bring your vision of a perfect portrait session to life. We\u2019ll discuss color choices, nursery d\u00e9cor, home d\u00e9cor, and anything specific you\u2019d like to incorporate such as family heirlooms. I\u2019ll then take all this information and curate your session from our extensive prop and wardrobe collection, and often go shopping for or craft items to bring your vision to life. The customization doesn\u2019t stop there either\u2026 During your ordering appointment following your session we\u2019ll create the perfect artwork to display seamlessly throughout your home. You’re going to have your hands full with your little one… I want to create the most beautiful and stress-free experience for you as possible!<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0The day of your session is an opportunity for you to sit back and take a breather. Afterall\u2026 you\u2019ve had almost no sleep for quite some time at this point. Not to worry mama, your baby\u2019s safety and comfort is my highest priority during a newborn session. I\u2019ve been specializing in photographing newborns for almost 9 years now since my oldest daughter was born. I\u2019m always continuing to educate myself on safe handling procedures from experts in my field. I also have a methods in place to help ensure your baby stays comfortable throughout the approximately 3 hour session. During a newborn session I keep my studio at roughly 80 degrees. At this age your baby is unable to regulate its own body temperature. Since we\u2019re undressing baby etc, we help regulate that temperature for them. I\u2019m also very vigilant about not overheating them as well. I use a specific workflow for each of my sessions that disturbs baby as little as possible from one pose to the next. And last but not least, I have an enormous amount of patience with your little one. Each session is planned ahead of time, but flexible, so I can accommodate what baby is comfortable with. Not every baby is comfortable in every pose and I\u2019ll never force a baby to do something it doesn\u2019t like. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n![\"Black](\"https:\/\/laviephotography.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/29-2323-pp_gallery\/DSC_7836-2bw-1.jpg\")
