Have you ever wondered what happens during a newborn session? I mean, how do photographers manage to capture all those gorgeous sleepy photos, when you hear so many stories of newborns never sleeping?!! If you've never attended a newborn session before, you're probably wondering how it all works! So here is a little run-down on what happens during your newborn session here at Hilary Hudson Photography. When you arrive: My newborn sessions are typically scheduled in the mornings as I find that babies are usually much more settled at that time (avoiding the afternoon "witching hour" at all costs!!). Please try to arrive at my Tamborine Studio as close as possible to this scheduled time if you can - although I totally get that having a newborn baby in the house can make things hectic, so please just text me if you are going to be late - no stress at all!! I will welcome you into the studio where you can sit and relax as we go over a few details and chat. Everything will be set up and ready to go, and you can expect the session to last anywhere between 1-3 hours (depending on the collection you have chosen). I have a TV in the studio and a box of toys to help keep the younger family members entertained. I keep the air conditioned studio at a comfortable temperature all year round, with the use of heaters to keep baby warm and cozy when they are unwrapped or naked. What to bring: All my newborn sessions include the use of items from my large selection of props, baskets, beds, wraps, rompers, flokatis, backdrops, beanies/bonnets/headbands, teddies, floral arrangements etc. If there is anything specific from my collection that you'd like to include, (have a look through my newborn gallery for inspiration!) please be sure to make a note of that in your Client Info Form, which you will have completed prior to the session. You are welcome to bring along any special family items, or heirlooms that you'd also like to include. The session: Before we begin, I will dress your baby in a romper of your choice, and then wrap them in several different coloured wraps based on the colours you chose in your Client Info Form. I find that starting with a wrapped baby helps them to feel safe and secure and more likely to drift off to sleep. Family and sibling poses are done first - and we will do a number of poses with each family member holding baby. I also have a number of tricks up my sleeve for those toddler siblings who are less willing to have photos taken with their new baby brother or sister! Once the family/sibling photos are done, you can sit back, relax and watch your baby be the star of the show! I will move baby around the studio, gradually unwrapping them as I go, and using different props and set ups to create a gallery of images of your beautiful baby. I've been photographing babies for many years now, and newborn safety is my highest priority. I will only pose babies in what they are comfortable with, and in a natural way. I've had many clients call me a "baby whisperer" (although I can assure you, I never felt that way when my own kids were babies!) so please dont worry that your baby wont sleep!! Most babies will wake at least once during the session, and this is when you can expect to feed them if need be, as we settle them back down for the rest of the session. You should also know that if sleep doesn’t happen, that’s okay! We will take a break or work with what baby is giving us. Wide-eyed newborn photos are beautiful too! Your baby will look perfect whether they are awake or asleep :) After the session: After we have finished capturing your little one, I will head back to the office to download your images and do the first of many backups so your images are always secure. I will choose a favourite from your session, edit this and post your preview for social media (if you've chosen to have one). I will let you know when you can expect to receive your online gallery - and from there you get to see your final images and choose your favourites! Any Questions?
