Capturing the early days of a newborn’s life is a precious art form that requires planning, patience, and creativity. A newborn portrait session isn't just about taking pictures; it involves some planning in advance to create an experience and capture stunning images that parents will treasure forever.
Here are some things I do to plan a one of a kind newborn session:
Start With a Pre-Session Consultation
Before the session, I schedule a short phone or in-person consultation with the parents. Here are some things I ask during a consultation:
- Their nursery colors or theme
- Favorite colors or style of décor in their home
- Whether they prefer soft neutrals, whimsical colors, or something bold
- Any meaningful items (blankets, heirlooms, stuffed animals)
This helps me design a session that feels personal for my clients.
From the consultation that I had with Azealia's mom...I knew that the colors of the nursery included the use grays, pinks, white and a touch of black. Mom also wanted some roses incorpated into the session. I didn't have have any pink roses on hand, but I made sure to purchase some pink tea roses for her baby girl's newborn session. Tiny and delicate.
I absolutely love how Azealia's newborn portrait session turned out and I know her parents will have some lasting memories of their daughter that they will be able to treasure forever.
