NEWBORNS
LIFESTYLE & STUDIO NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER SERVICING
IN THE SEACOAST OF NEW HAMPSHIRE, SOUTHERN MAINE & THE NORTH SHORE OF MASSACHUSETTS
The Experience
Congratulations on your new baby boy or girl!
Nothing tugs more at our heartstrings than the tiny little newborns we photograph. There is nothing more magical than the birth of a child, and capturing and preserving the tender innocence of your brand new baby is a privilege.
We understand that new parents have many needs and are very busy, especially in those first few days after the birth of a baby. However, one highly recommended event is to have a newborn photography session. We don’t need to tell you how fast children grow from infant to toddler, and then before you know it your child will be getting on the school bus. The moments click by almost as fast as the shutter on our cameras. The first fourteen after you have a baby is the optimal time to schedule your newborn session because your little one will still be sleepy, tiny, and cooperative.
Capture those first few days of your child’s life forever!

The Process
SESSION CONSULTATION
We can chat over the phone or in person at my studio to choose which session works best for you and we will discuss whether the studio or your home would be best. I will explain what each spots it has to offer. Once your location is decided, it’s time to start planning your outfits! We will also start looking at different product options to display your newborn portraits.
your portrait session
Newborn sessions are held between 5-14 days new at your home or in the studio in a natural setting as a family and typically last between 2-3 hours. We also offer Fresh 48 Hospital Newborn Sessions where I going you during your hospital stay to document your sweet baby in a pure and simple way. These sessions are typically done within the first 48 hours and last about an hour. They are a GREAT WAY to capture older siblings meeting their new brother or sister for the first time.
ordering appointment
Two weeks after your session is when the fun really begins. I create a custom slideshow for you to watch at the Reveal & Design Session. After the slideshow, I will help you plan the wall art, album, and fine art that you would like for your home. This part can be overwhelming which is why I am here to help and that is the main purpose of the Reveal & Design Session. We will walk around your home and plan your custom art pieces together. Your family will treasure your portraits for generations.
Jennie came to our home for lifestyle newborn photos of our son. She spent so much time with us capturing his personality and our family in the most beautiful photos. Her expertise didn’t stop there…on our reveal night, she showed us products we could see and feel first hand to make our decision. She’d already put together wall galleries and an album that were so perfectly arranged. Jennie helped my husband and I organize our favorite photos into cohesive galleries and an album to make our final decisions. I have no doubt it would have taken us forever to do something with those gorgeous photos without her help.

YOUR QUESTIONS
When should I book my session?
Ideally, it’s best to book your portrait session during your second trimester. This will ensure that I will have availability in my calendar for your baby’s portraits when he/she arrives. If choosing a Fresh 48 Hospital session, I will go on call for your birth one week prior to your due date. If you would like to chat more about a session, you can contact me by clicking here.
What if my baby comes early or late?
Babies like to arrive on their own schedule and so we need to be flexible for when they decide to arrive. We will choose a tentative date for your session based on your due date, but will definitely be flexible if he/she decides to come a little early or late. Once you are in labor, have dad or a family member contact me ASAP so we can choose a more definite date. For Fresh 48 Sessions please let me know as soon as baby has arrived so that we can arrange for me to come to the hospital for photos.
HOW LONG WILL OUR SESSION LAST?
Fresh 48 Hospital sessions are about 45 minutes and Studio/In-Home Newborn sessions typically last around 2-3 hours. This allows plenty of time for feedings, diaper changes, and cuddles. I will be moving your baby through a variety of poses and his/her safety comes first. So, I like to take extra time to make sure that your baby is comfortable and content during our session.
CAN WE TAKE FAMILY/SIBLING SHOTS?
Absolutely! If you have booked the full Fresh 48, or in-home newborn session then siblings and immediate family can definitely be included. Including your whole family in your newborn’s portraits is the perfect way to document this time your baby’s life. Studio sessions are for baby only at this time.
DO WE NEED TO BRING ANYTHING?
I recommend that when having a studio session you bring lots of extra diapers, clothing options in case of accidents and if you baby takes a pacifier or bottle please also bring those items. Leave the rest to me! I have an assortment of wraps, bow and hats which we will discuss during our pre-session consultation.
