Common Questions About Newborn Photography
Frequently Asked Questions About Newborn Photography
When is the best time to schedule a newborn photo session?
The traditional ideal time is within the first 15 days of life. However, with 16 years of experience in newborn photography, I can confidently say that babies up to 6-8 weeks old produce beautiful images. In fact, waiting a little longer may be beneficial since the baby has had time to adjust to their new environment. If your baby was born prematurely, we can schedule the session whenever they are released from the hospital. Don’t worry if you missed the 15-day mark, I’m here to capture your little one’s precious moments whenever is best for your family.
How long does a newborn photography session take?
Newborn sessions typically take 3-4 hours, depending on how your little one is doing. I don’t rush sessions or work with time slots. We work at your baby’s pace, allowing plenty of time for feeding, soothing, and diaper changes. My Los Gatos studio schedules only one newborn session per day so you have all the time you need.
What should I bring to a newborn photo session?
You don’t need to bring anything! I have a huge collection of high-end, internationally-sourced handmade headbands, bonnets, outfits, rompers, and wraps. Your newborn session will be fully styled based on your color preferences. However, if you have a special family heirloom, please bring it so we can incorporate it during the session. Just bring diapers, wipes, bottles or nursing supplies, and a pacifier if your baby uses one.
Is hair and makeup included for newborn photo sessions?
Yes, professional hair and makeup for mom are included in every newborn session. As a new mom, you deserve to feel beautiful and confident in your photos. This is included so you don’t have to worry about getting ready after sleepless nights with a newborn.
Can siblings and pets be included in newborn photos?
Absolutely! Parents and siblings are included during the session at no additional charge. I specialize in capturing newborns with siblings, parents, and even family pets. Living in the Bay Area, there are often grandparents coming from out of town or out of the country, bring them over too for pictures or just to watch the session. They always love it!
How far in advance should I book my newborn session?
It’s best to book as early as possible to ensure availability, as I’m often booked weeks or even months in advance. I recommend booking with at least 4-6 weeks’ notice to secure your preferred time slot. To reserve a spot, you only need to pay the session fee in full, then I pencil in your due date to hold your spot. This way your baby will have priority on my schedule whether they come early or late.
What if my baby comes early or after my due date?
I only do a limited number of sessions per month to accommodate various arrival dates. Whether your little one decides to come early or late, I will do the session within day 7-21 after your baby is born. If there’s a complication and your baby has to stay in the hospital longer, we’ll do the session whenever you are ready.
Where do newborn photo sessions take place?
All newborn sessions take place in my studio in downtown Los Gatos at 117 Broadway. The studio is on my property but completely independent, surrounded by trees with beautiful mountain-like views. I keep the studio at 90 degrees so your baby is comfortable during the 3-4 hour session, and I have complete control over lighting and access to all my props – plus my beautiful backyard for unique outdoor portraits.
Can you photograph older newborns (over 2 weeks old)?
Yes! I specialize in older newborn photography up to 6-8 weeks old. Many families need to wait beyond two weeks due to health complications, NICU stays, or other circumstances. Please contact me as soon as possible to check my availability. With over 16 years of experience, I have techniques for photographing babies at any age during their first few months.
How soon will I receive my newborn photos?
You’ll view all your images within 1-2 days after your session for selection. Final retouched images are delivered within 2-3 weeks. Custom artwork like albums and wall displays take additional time depending on the products you order.
Are you up to date on the Whooping Cough Vaccine?
Yes! Both my assistant and I are up to date on the Tdap vaccine (Pertussis vaccine). It’s important to ensure that anyone who will be handling your baby has also received the vaccine to help protect them from whooping cough.
