Newborns! Their glowing soft skin and unique smell. Those tiny little hands and feet, even their round little bellies. Every part of them is pure perfection. I appreciate parents who know these fleeting moments go by so fast, so they search for a trusty photographer to capture this incredible stage in their brand new babyâs life. Sometimes itâs hard to let a stranger in and handle your new baby. Especially to those new mommies and daddies! Which is why we do not take your decision of choosing Elisa Lucas Photography lightly. From the moment you inquire and book with me, I start the process of ensuring my clients are well educated on how newborn sessions work. I send out our Tips for Newborn Photography email and go over any questions expecting mothers may have.
When do I schedule my newborn's images?
We suggest long before your baby is born so we can pencil you somewhere in those first two weeks and send you very important tips you may not have the time to read after your bundle of joy arrives.
Not only have we had years of experience with newborns, (yes I am counting Auntie and Mommy years too!) but I am also certified with AANPS. American Association of Newborn Photography Safety. Which is a very in-depth training course to assure we are as safe and prepared as possible. You notice I keep saying we? That's because there are TWO of us to run your session smoothly. Your newborns' safety and comfort is our priority! And very close to comfort and care comes our patience. Sometimes you can follow our instructions to a T and still get a fussy newborn. And we are prepared for that! We will love and soothe your baby into a sleepy state if possible. An extra bottle feeding may do the trick then we are off to those adorable squishy newborn photos! If not, that's okay! You will still receive images to love on for generations.
Traveling to you! We travel to our clients home with our prepped and sanitized newborn pop-up studio! You don't have to worry about taking your precious newborn out into the germ-filled world those first couple weeks. We make it convenient to enjoy this session from the comfort of your own home to help keep your baby healthy while you relax! We've had so many new mothers thrilled at our in-home service and hearts of gold.
