As most of you probably know, we book our newborn sessions way in advance. Sometimes 6 months or even more before the baby arrives, I have mom on the phone so excited about her newborn photo shoot!
Our moms or dads fill out a questionnaire describing their colors, style and vision they have for the session. We request images of the nursery to be sent to Lauren and any props or items they are bringing to the shoot. This helps us be fully prepared and have a plan ready.
When I was new to the newborn game, sessions could take up to 5 hours. Now, between having the most fantastic assistant and having a back up plan for our back up plan, the sessions are usually done in 2 to 2.5 hours. Preparation is key! Knowing every move we are going to make and in what order, helps us to get the best images in a very reasonable amount of time.
James’ nursery is a Paddington Bear theme with blue, red, black and gray. His mom actually brought in a Paddington Bear stuffed animal that we cut the clothes off of and were able to put on baby James. It was so so so cute!
Big sister is a beauty! She was so cute with him and so well behaved!
Mom is a Red Raider and Dad is an Ohio State Buckeye, so this was a great little set up for James!
Normally, even though we have a color scheme, I like to throw in at least 2 neutral set ups.
They also brought this Santa outfit that was to die for! It was so fun working with y’all!!!
