YOUR NEWBORN SESSION
OUR STUDIO WILL WORK CLOSELY WITH YOU TO BRING YOUR VISION TO LIFE
HOW IT WORKS
HERE´S HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER
01/
PREPARING FOR THE SESSION
At your consultation, we will discuss wardrobe, props, and poses to put together exactly what you hope to achieve at your shoot. Through your consultation, I will get a clear sense of what you are how you are hoping your photos turn out. In addition to the consultation, you will receive a session planning email to help you prepare for the session. In this email, I explain ways to help prepare the baby for the photoshoot, including ways to keep him/her asleep during the session which will ensure we get the most of our time together!
02/
The Photoshoot!
If you have opted for hair and makeup, arrive at the studio at your appointment time to have your hair and makeup professionally done by my makeup and hair artist while I photograph your baby. I will pose your baby in about 5-6 different props and poses as well as family portraits. Do not worry about your baby not cooperating, there are many ways to work with a baby who will not sleep during the session, I have been photographing babies for 10 years so I am quite experienced.
03/
SELECTING YOUR IMAGES
A week after your session you will receive your private viewing gallery where you will be able to select your beautiful images for retouching.
04/
RECEIVING YOUR IMAGES
Your beautifully retouched images will be ready for you to enjoy with a private online gallery where you can download your digital images and share them with your loved ones. Your custom artwork will be delivered for you to display in your home for years. You finally have the opportunity to enjoy your new pieces of artwork.
HERE ARE SOME ANSWERS TO SOME FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do you travel to homes for newborn sessions?
I do. Newborn sessions at home are photographed in a lifestyle fashion, meaning that the photos are more candid, and the baby is not posed in props. To photograph your baby with props the session will take place at my studio. There are a lot of props and equipment needed to photograph these tiny babies. To get the best quality images I would strongly recommend coming to my studio in Etobicoke.
Do you provide all of the props and accessories? Do you provide a wardrobe for the whole family or just the baby?
I have all of the props and accessories needed for your newborn session, I also have a mom wardrobe. I ask that you bring clothing for Dad and any siblings coming to the session. Upon booking, I will provide you with some wardrobe inspiration to help you coordinate.
Do newborn sessions have to take place within the first 2 weeks?
It is strongly recommended that you have your newborn photos taken when your newborn is 7-14 days after birth. The reason for this is your baby will be prone to being asleep, less aware of being touched and respond better to being soothed, which is crucial to being posed throughout the session.
Do you offer unedited raw images?
Our studio does not deliver raw files to clients. The reality is that a raw file is not a finished or usable product. It needs to be edited and converted to a usable file format. If you tried to get a print made from a raw file, you’d be told it can’t be done. Any photo labs (professional or otherwise) will want a JPEG file to produce prints from, not a raw file.
Another reason we keep control of our raw files is because the editing of the images (to make the JPEG) is a part of our creative process. It demonstrates who we are as artists every bit as much as the way we make an image with our camera.
NEWBORN SESSIONS BEGIN AT $650 + HST
