BUFFALO, NY NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER
THE NEWBORN EXPERIENCE
THE STORY OF YOUR LIFE
Welcoming a new life into this world is a big celebration! It is most important to me that you feel comfortable with your photographer, especially when they’re going to be handling your precious newborn baby.
I keep the focus on the baby with a minimalistic style, because less is more. My sessions are designed with a calm, baby-led approach, focused on preserving the sweet details of your little one while they’re still so new.
As a mom myself, I know how tender those early days can be, especially for new mothers. That’s why create a calm, comforting space where you can simply be present with your baby. I approach every session with patience and care, allowing time for feedings, snuggles, and all the pauses that make this session so meaningful.
I strive for timeless portraits that you can be proud of years down the road.
From beginning to end I will take care of you and your family. From session design to prepping for your little one’s day, I will be there every step. With access to my high-end props and wardrobe, you will have a stress free session knowing that everything is taken care of.
The Newborn Experience
1. GET IN TOUCH
Tell me about how you envision your memories and I will explain how the process works in more detail, this is a good time for me to answer all of your questions. Reach out to check availability of your due date. My schedule is very limited and I only take a small number of due dates each month. You can also book a call with me because sometimes it’s easier to answer your questions with a 5 minute call.
2. SCHEDULE YOUR SESSION
Book your due date as soon as possible so you don’t miss out! When you book with me I schedule your due date because we don’t know exactly when your little one will arrive. You will then notify me within 48 hours of babies arrival and we will get you a solid date for when baby is under 30 days new. There is a $175 fee to book your session.
3. THE PLANNING PROCESS
I will send some information and questionnaires your way to help me better plan for your session. You will also receive prep information for the day of your session, my goal is to make this a wonderful, stress-free experience for everyone!
4. THE SESSION
This is where all of the magic happens. You will arrive here in my studio on your scheduled date. My shooting schedule is Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 11am. The session could last anywhere between 1-3 hours.
5. IMAGE REVEAL AND ORDERING
Everyone’s favorite part of the experience! An online proofing gallery will be sent within a week of your session. You’ll get to see the images taken from your session for the very first time and place your order. Once you’ve chosen your favorites I will complete your gallery within 3 weeks and deliver via personal online gallery for you to download.
