Newborn Checklist/What to Bring!

Congrats, you've booked a photo session with us! 

Below you'll find a few helpful hints on what to do ahead of time and things you'll want to bring to your appointment:

* Be sure you've completed your booking paperwork and submitted your sitting fee payment. 

* Plan your wardrobe: We don't insist on any specific colors or styles, but we do ask that you generally coordinate clothing amongst family members so your look is cohesive and when your photographic artwork is hung in your home, will compliment your home & family's unique style. Take inspiration from internet searches and/or the colors and decor of your home. Avoid large patterns, character tees and corporate logos which can be distracting in photographs.

* Clothing should be free of wrinkles and pet hair.

* Fingernails should be neat and clean on all family members. On children, please remove magic marker, stickers, temporary tattoos, etc unless those are things you would like in the photos. 

* Siblings should have clean feet, sometimes we pose siblings barefoot to create a cozy, releaxed look (indoor/studio sessions).

* We understand that cuts, bruises and blemishes happen. Please let us know if there is something you'd like us to remove during editing. 

* We have no problem if you bring snacks or drinks for your children. Please do not bring snacks that may stain their skin, clothing or could get stuck in their teeth. This creates additional editing work and may result in an additional fee.

* Pets are not allowed at our indoor studio sessions, thank you for understanding. We are happy to include your dog (or lizard!) at any outdoor session as long as the venue permits pets and you have him or her on a leash.

* Photo sessions typically run 45-60 minutes (depending on the number of people in your group). Please review this time commitment with everyone.
