Finding the Perfect Boston Newborn Photographer: Get The Right Questions to Ask
Are you considering newborn photography but have some questions?
Don't worry, I'm here to help!
As a lifestyle newborn photographer photographer, I understand the value and importance of capturing these early moments of your baby's life! I remember regretting not having newborn photos done for my first child, so booking them for #2 and #3 were a big priority for me. Let's dive into some of the most common questions about newborn photography.
“What should I look for when hiring a newborn photographer?”
It's important to choose a photographer who specializes in newborn photography and has experience working with infants. I have years of experience working with newborns and their families, and also have three kids of my own! I'm dedicated to providing a comfortable, safe, and enjoyable experience for you and your baby. I understand the importance of capturing these early moments, and I take pride in creating beautiful, timeless memories that you'll cherish for years to come, and also bring you right back to those early weeks.
“What can I expect during a newborn photography session?”
During a newborn photography session, I'll work to create a comfortable and safe environment for your baby, and guide you through the posing process. I always encourage parents and siblings to participate so your gallery will feel like you, accurately depicting your family's moment in time during this crazy and sweet newborn season. My newborn workflow ensures we have pictures of mom, dad, and any brothers or sisters holding the baby - well because, that's how it is in real life!
To capture the best moments, it's important to schedule your newborn photography session as early as possible, ideally within the first two weeks of your baby's life. I recommend booking your session as soon as possible during your pregnancy to ensure availability. Once booked I offer all of my clients a comprehensive Newborn Guide to walk them through expectations, styling, and day-of prep so they know exactly what our session will be like.
“Do I need to bring anything?”
You don't need to have much else prepared other than yourselves! We will discuss outfit options prior to your session. I like to capture baby in a knitted outfit, a swaddle, and some bare chested so we can capture tiny details. You can bring a few personal items that you would like to incorporate into the photos, like a special blanket or toy, book or prayer card if those would make your gallery more meaningful.
“When will I get my photos?”
After the session, you can expect to receive the final edited photos within 2-3 weeks. My newborn package comes with over 75 fully edited digital images and each of my clients gets a link to their own print shop, where they can create the printable images they want whether its framed images or an album. I'm happy to work with you to create a customized package that meets your specific needs.
“How much does newborn photography cost?”
Newborn photography sessions start at $650. I know this might seem like a significant investment, but keep in mind that newborn photography is a specialized service that requires a lot of time, effort, and equipment. I'm dedicated to providing high-quality images & products that you'll cherish for a lifetime!
So, there you have it! Newborn photography is a wonderful way to capture the early moments of your baby's life and I do my best to take care of all the details, so all you have to do is show up!
