First Year Baby PlansFor only $195, our baby plan provides
three portrait sessions for your baby's first year. Plus,
after your third session, you will receive a fine quality wall
portrait collection including one 5x7 portrait of your choice from
each session. Fine leather albums and fine art albums are
available.
My goal with each milestone session is to capture the physical
development as well as the developing personality of your child. I
often hear comments such as "I can't believe you caught that expression.
That's what he does at home all the time!"
Newborn Session - I prefer to photograph newborns in the first 10
days, but this stage can be captured up to 4 weeks of age. This
session typically lasts approximately 2 hours. Parents are
very involved with this session. I find it important to not only
capture beautiful images of your newborn but also of the entire family
unit. Images of your tiny child nuzzling Mommy's cheek or cradled
in Daddy's arms are precious at this stage. If you have older
children, we will want to involve them as well.
Four Month Session - Closer to four months is best. Your baby
will be propping himself up on his arms at this stage and showing off
his budding personality.
Seven/Eight Month Session - Your baby is beginning to sit up.
She may even be able to crawl or stand with the help of a stool or chair
to hold on to. More than that, her little personality has bloomed
over the past 4 months, and she is giving Mommy the biggest smiles ever!
We capture images that commemorate these events. This one captures
the best of development and personality.
One Year - This is a great session to revisit the family portrait.
Or, we can just focus our time on your baby. Bring along a nice
outfit for a traditional, timeless portrait. You may consider
bringing your baby's favorite toy or lovie to preserve the memory.
Clothing Tips - I prefer to photograph babies tastefully, without
clothing until the nine month session. I find that newborns,
particularly, tend to be engulfed by clothing, distracting from the
natural beauty of the child. I will, of course, accommodate those
parents who don't care to have their child photographed without
clothing. In this case, be sure to choose well fitting clothing
(usually preemie sizes will work for newborns) that is solid and neutral
in color. White and soft pastels work best. |
