Things you might want to know BEFORE BOOKING YOUR NEWBORN SESSION
1. WHAT TO DO BEFORE YOUR NEWBORN SESSION?
Before your session, I’ll send over a simple prep guide to help you feel ready without the overwhelm. The most important thing is to keep things relaxed. There’s no need for a perfectly clean home or a strict schedule. Try to keep your space warm and comfortable, have snacks and feedings as needed, and choose neutral, comfortable outfits for the family. I’ll guide you through anything else you need so you can simply enjoy this time.
2. Where do sessions usually take place?
Newborn sessions are offered in your home for a relaxed lifestyle experience or in a natural light studio in Hastings for a clean, timeless look. Fresh 48 sessions take place in the hospital or birth center within the first 48 hours after birth. Maternity and milestone sessions are held at an agreed-upon location, which may include the studio or outdoor locations around Central Nebraska depending on the season and your vision.
3. How do you guide us during the session?
I keep direction very gentle and natural. Sessions are a mix of lightly guided posing and natural interactions. I’ll usually guide you through small movements and interactions so the session feels comfortable and the photos still feel like you. We will include a variety of portraits for baby, the whole family, and tender moments with mom, dad, and siblings.
4. How do we book a newborn session?
You can fill out the contact inquirty form with a few details about yourself, the type of session you’re looking for, your due date, and any other dates or locations you already have in mind. I’ll get back to you with availability, pricing, my newborn prep guide, and the next steps from there.
