The addition of a baby is such sweet, special time, whether it's your first or fifth! I provide lifestyle newborn sessions, which I describe as a family session...with a newborn! Photos are focused on you and your family (spouse, children, pets, etc) loving on that new little person. I do not do specific baby poses (tight swaddles, "froggy" pose, etc). I do provide focused shots of baby's face, and if baby allows, photos by him/herself in a basket, etc. I always recommend the baby has a solid colored outfit to wear, and a white onesie or sleeper, along with anything else that is important to you. Newborn sessions should be booked while in your second trimester, and completed before baby is 14 days old. Maternity sessions should be completed at 28-32 weeks, ideally. I love maternity sessions with mama in a long, flowy dress (tip: try Baltic Born or Lulu's), but wear what makes you comfortable. 

I offer several location options for newborn photos - your choice of three photo studios in Springfield that are rented hourly, an open space in Ava that is rented hourly, or your home. Newborn photo galleries can be seen here.
