“What should I look for when hiring a newborn photographer?”

Newborn photography is so different from other types of photography. It’s important to choose a photographer who specializes in newborn photography and has experience working with infants and can work with them safely and gently. Definitely ask how long they’ve worked with babies and what their safety training is. I have 16 years of experience working with newborns and their families. I’m dedicated to providing a comfortable, safe, and enjoyable experience for you and your baby. I understand the importance of capturing these early moments, and I take pride in creating beautiful, timeless memories that you’ll cherish for years to come.

“What should I expect during a newborn photography session?”

Sessions can be long: Newborn photoshoots can last 2-4 hours or more, depending on how the baby is doing—Denver Newborn Photographythere’s a lot of time for feeding, comforting, and of course pooping!Make sure the photographer is okay with taking things slow and adjusting for your baby’s needs. Flexibility is key: Babies aren’t on a strict schedule, so a photographer who is understanding of changes in timing or rescheduling will make the experience so much better for you! You want someone who is PATIENT and willing to take time for your baby. During my newborn photography sessions, I am the most patient person on the planet! Not so much with my own kiddos but being patient in the studio is an absolute MUST!

“Do I need to bring anything?”

You shouldn’t need to bring anything to the session as most of the items your baby will need should be provided by the studio, including props, backdrops, and blankets. This time should be stress-free and relaxing! A quiet and peaceful atmosphere is key to a successful session. I love that my mommas will lay on the couch and sleep and just take a few minutes to themselves. My studio is packed full of everything we could possibly need for your session. Every detail is taken care of, allowing you to just sit back and enjoy your time.Family in the studio with their new baby taking their first photo together

“When will I get my photos?”

Every photographer will have a different answer to this and it depends on what their focus is. If you’re investing in a digital collection then you should have those around 2 weeks after you’ve made your final selections.When purchasing products, it will probably be more at that 3-4 week range.I offer a combination of both digital and display pieces. I also provide handmade and custom products so it’s 4-6 weeks with the digital images delivering a few weeks before.  I’m happy to work with you to create a customized package that meets your specific needs.Baby girl wrapped up like a potato with the sweetest smile

“How much does newborn photography in the Denver area cost?”

Newborn photography sessions can range from $500 to $3,000+, depending on the package. I know this might seem like a significant investment, but keep in mind that newborn photography is a specialized service that requires a lot of time, effort, and equipment. Along with that, your babies safety is the most important piece to your whole experience. The more qualified and trained photographer should be a bigger investment.  I’m dedicated to providing high-end, quality, images & products that you’ll cherish for a lifetime.
