When we designed our basement, I had a photography studio/functional workspace in mind. Although I do offer in-home/lifestyle newborn sessions, it is recommended that clients come to my studio for the most beneficial experience. This way, you are free to browse all of my props and items and can get the most out of your session. As you can see here, I've created a large, cozy space for clients to come and relax and watch me work my magic.
When you arrive at my home for your session, you will enter into a large and spacious recreational room complete with big screen TV, comfortable recliners and toys for any older siblings to play with. Tea and refreshments will be provided along with a quiet, peaceful setting. The attached room is my studio. The door is kept closed to keep the heat in, and once you walk in you will hear a white noise machine going. This is where all of the magic happens. It has taken me years to perfect this environment for newborns, and most of the time my clients can see why the babies sleep so well (and some never want to leave!) I have a vast array of props, baskets, wraps, headbands, hats, and backdrops that we can choose from to make your session unique to your baby and your style. We literally have thousands of options for your session, so no two sessions are alike.
I use a strobe light to get the soft, dreamy lighting that you see in my images. I always assure my clients that the power setting on my strobe light is set to the lowest setting, and this does not disturb the babies in any way.
Thanks for stopping by! I cannot wait to meet you and your family
