      St. Louis Park Newborn Session:: Merry Family

      Last year I had the high honor of meeting Liz and her sweet family.  When she contacted me earlier this summer,  I knew we would have another great session when she told me they would be welcoming another sweet little one into their family.  Their sweet little boy was a gem during our session.  He let his big brother and sister kiss him all over and even slept through most of the time we needed him sleeping!  I love seeing these new little ones, and old clients at the same time.  If you are looking to book a newborn session, I would love to meet you and your newest addition. Be sure to check out these tips on how to prep for your session and then contact me for more information and availability!

        St. Michael Newborn:: Alexander

        Sometimes newborn session’s don’t have to be within in the first two weeks of life, they can be in the first six!  I loved meeting sweet Alexander and his family.  Bright eyed, alert, and beautiful, he was the perfect little subject.  His big brother and sister loved on him and we all enjoyed watching him sleep on the hide that belonged to his grandparents and in the sweet hat and tie that was made just for him by one of his momma’s friends. It is always a gift and a joy to document these precious stages!

          How to prep for your Newborn Session

          If you have been reading the blog this month, you know I have been going over ways to prep for your wedding day and how to prep for your family session.  Today I am gong to be sharing with you one more way to prep for a very different session… your new baby.  These are just a few tips I have laid out to past clients as they get ready to open their homes to their new bundles of joy.  Hope it will help if you are preparing this season for a new little one in your home.

          Below are some tips on helping our session to go smoothly with your new little one!!
          1) Schedule your session for the first 14 days of life, if you are able to.  Typically newborns are still in that tiny scrunched up stage and are easy to move from one area o another.  They are also sleeping a LOT, so it makes the session go quickly! Typically with my Newborn clients, we put 2 dates on the calendar, one a week before baby is due (in case he/she comes early) and one a week after the due date.  I will be in touch with you as to when baby comes so we know the correct date of the session!
          2) A Hot Home or Room! A hot home is best for getting baby to sleep as well as keeping baby comfortable.  I would suggest putting the thermostat up to about 80 and I will typically bring an electric heater to make one well-lit room really hot so baby can go to sleep easily and quickly! Remember, your baby just came from a 98 degree “home”, so getting him or her nice and cozy will make sleeping for the session much easier!
          3) Working around Baby’s schedule. Newborns sleep a lot.  Typically in these first few weeks of life they are just getting their schedules straight, so don’t feel bad if you have to feed baby, or rock baby, etc.  Don’t feel rushed in any way. Newborns are on their own schedule!
          4) Props.  I am not a huge prop girl.  But I do have a few neutral colored rugs and blankets that I will bring and you are free to use.  Feel free to pull out any headbands, outfits, blankets, baskets or items you wish to include in your session. Getting some cute diaper covers are great, but if you don’t have one (or one that fits!) no worries.
          5) Lighting. We will probably work out most of the session nearest to windows, so clearing out an area even in your living room, baby’s nursery or your bedroom is helpful, but not necessary.
          Congratulations on your new baby!  I hope to see you soon and get my baby fix as you know I will be asking to hold your sweet one!! Contact me for direct pricing and availability!
