FAQ
- When should I schedule my newborn session with you? You can book (reserve) your session with me anytime! I recommend doing so before your baby is born to ensure I have the time available to do so. If you are unsure until baby is born, that's okay too. I am able to squeeze a baby or two onto my schedule after birth, its just much easier if you are already on my schedule.
- How do we schedule if my baby isn't born yet? I get this one ALL the time. Booking your session with me reserves your time with me when baby is born. I only book a limited amount of newborns, so booking ahead of time is beneficial. The exact date of your session is scheduled after your sweet little bundle arrives.
- What happens if the baby won't sleep? Every now and then I get a baby that just doesn't want to miss a thing. That's okay! As long as your baby is happy, we just keep going. If your baby is unsettled, I do my best to figure out what they need. If your baby needs snuggles we snuggle. If they need to be fed, they eat. Your baby's needs will always come first.
- What if my baby hates being wrapped? Many new parents think this, but in all my years wrapping baby's as a photographer and as a labor and delivery nurse, I have yet to meet a baby that doesn't like it. Your baby may not like the process of being wrapped, but being wrapped correctly is incredibly comforting for your baby. They feel warm and secure like in the womb and it lessons the impact of the moro (startle) reflex. This process is important to make them feel safe and drift off to sleep.
- What do we do if my baby spends time in the NICU? First off...big hugs! NICU life is a hard start. I've been there. My daughter was born at 29 weeks and we spent months there. I understand how scary and unpredictable this time is. We will do schedule this when baby is home and you're ready! Newborn sessions can be done un to 3 months after their due date.
