Clothing:
I recommend layered outfits, rubber boots, cool caps or beanies, scarves, overalls, bare feet, blankets, swaddles and bare bums for newborns! If you have any questions on styling the shoot, I’d love to assist! White clothing or anything with written logos is not recommended. For multiple children try to keep outfits coordinating but not matching.
Locations:
Sessions are usually held in my home studio. I prefer to use natural light for my photography, as it is simply the most beautiful light for child portraiture, but I do have a full complement of professional studio lighting. Locations can be agreed upon if requested (location fee applies). Depending on weather and type of light, a session can take place at a local park or beach, under a shady tree, or near a flower garden at your home. Depending on the season we can also keep the photo/play session inside your home using available window light or my portable studio.
Before the Session:
Best for everyone to be well rested, clean and well fed. Bring along the same items you would bring on a play date. If your baby is on formula, be sure to bring plenty to keep fussiness at bay. Wet wipes, diapers, baby brushes and pacifiers if you use them. You could also bring a favorite toy or small item that is calming for baby. If your child is not feeling well, it’s recommended to reschedule for another day.
Shortly After:
Your images will be ready to view! An online gallery will be set up so you can view and share all of your images. Your gallery is available for 1 week, during which time you, your friends and family are able to order prints and other products. I am happy to assist you to narrow down your favourites and choose the best images photographically speaking. All prints ordered during this time will have an amazing 15% discount. Please inform friends and family if you’d like them to receive the same great deal! Approximately 2-4 weeks after your order is placed, a password protected online gallery will be available to place additional print orders. Once print payment is received, please allow 3-5 weeks for delivery of prints and 4-6 weeks for canvases. Should you desire to order additional prints at a later date your images will remain in our archives.
