Unfortunately babies don't tend to work on mini session timelines. Most of my newborn sessions end up taking between one and a half to two hours, to allow for diaper changes, feedings, and soothing your little one back to sleep in between all the beautiful shots we will take.
Ideally we want to take newborn photos within the first 10 to 14 days after your little one arrives, to capitalize on all the perfect tiny little newborn details. You will be amazed at how fast they grow and change, even in a few short weeks. We also try to stick to this timeline because in those first two weeks, your babe will sleep a little more often, more deeply, and may not have yet developed baby acne. If however we miss this window, worry not! I have photographed plenty of older newborns with beautiful results!
Most families tend to do their newborn sessions in the comfort of their home, mostly due to the ease of having their little one at home with supplies near by. Also depending on the time of year, it may not be suitable to bring a new baby out into the elements. However, you may want those beautiful Colorado scenes, and this can be a beautiful option as well! I am open to whatever option works best for your family.
There are a couple of things you can do if you are having an in home newborn session. Namely, make sure the areas of your home you want to be photographed in are generally free of clutter and extra items, have the thermostat turned up a little higher than you are comfortable with (babies like it hot!) or have a little space heater in each room we'll use, and have a sound machine handy to keep that little one sleeping during the session! Also make sure you baby is well fed and has the next bottle (or mama) nearby when they are ready for their next meal! A well fed baby is usually a sleepy baby.
We want all eyes on your newest addition, so the best thing to wear, in my opinion, are soft neutrals, and items that are comfortable but not either overly dressy or overly casual. Long flowy maxi dresses, soft sweaters, wrinkle-free shirts are all great choices. Colors like Ivory, beige, and grey, camel/tan are all great. Blush pinks, sage greens and dusty blues are nice too. Incorporating textures like lace, wool, crochet, knit weaves etc can work nicely, and making sure clothing is clean and wrinkle free is extra important since there are lots of closeups! Making sure your items don't have words or logos on them is important too! Lastly for baby, avoid big overpowering bows and headbands, opting for smaller accessories, and onesies that are simple. Small patterns are better than big bold patterns for baby and parents alike!

You hear it all the time. 'They grow up too fast.' You probably even say it yourself, and you watch it happen right before your eyes. As parents we wish we could slow down time, and cherish each little giggle, every funny moment. But while there is no pause button on life, we can document and record each stage. Create tangible artwork to pass down the generations. I am here to help you hold on to these precious memories and never let them go.
