NEWBORN
The arrival of the newborn baby you’ve been waiting for so long… It’s the most emotional and happiest moment of your life! Let’s capture this beauty and these moments together in the most beautiful way!
In the first few weeks, your baby changes every day, and before you know it, they’ve grown so quickly… To get the BEST photos of your newborn, we recommend photographing them between 9-15 days. After 3 weeks, reflux and colic make it harder to capture most of the poses parents love—babies sleep less and cry more.
We guarantee that we will handle and pose your baby safely and comfortably at all times. The photographer always works with an assistant for your baby’s safety—there is a second set of hands ready to secure the baby.
Our philosophy is based on capturing beautiful images in a way that respects the baby’s natural behavior. We adapt to your baby’s needs, and we know that each baby is unique and different. They decide the poses! Although babies sleep most of the day during these first few weeks, we also take pictures of the baby while awake.
Breastfeeding is important for many mothers, and we fully support you and allow all the time needed to breastfeed your baby in a relaxing, comfortable environment throughout your newborn photo session in our studio.
We will also provide you with a guide in advance on how to prepare for your newborn photo shoot. We have many tips to capture the most beautiful poses of your beautiful newborn baby. We know you’re tired and sleep-deprived. We will do everything in our power to offer you an unforgettable experience in our photo studio.
During these sessions, we also capture photos with parents and siblings. The makeup artist and hairstylist will come to prepare you for family photos—these are the most important images for our clients, and we want you to feel beautiful! After childbirth, women often feel tired and discouraged about having their photos taken. However, our clients tell us often that they really appreciated the care of the make-up artist and hair stylist and it was the first day after birth when they could relax!
The presentation of the newborn photo shoot result is in the form of the printed reveal – the gallery of about 40 photos has been retouched, printed and they are presented on the reveal wall. You will see the final result of our work when you decide on the number of photos you wish to purchase (sessions start with 10 photos).
WHEN TO BOOK A PHOTO SHOOT?
It is important to book your newborn photo session with us as early as possible, during your pregnancy.
We recommend booking your newborn photo session during the second trimester of pregnancy, depending on your baby’s due date. We will always adjust the shooting date based on your baby’s actual birth date, whether it’s earlier or later. In fact, most of our clients book their maternity and newborn photo sessions together, so we are often fully booked months in advance.
Although we don’t want to disappoint those who admire our work and wish to book a session after birth, in most cases, it becomes impossible as our availability is limited.
To ensure the highest level of service, we work with patience, precision, and attention, not on a “mass production” basis. We only schedule one session per day, with a maximum of three per week, as we try to space our sessions 48 hours apart to guarantee perfect hygiene and sanitary conditions.
DRESSES AND ACCESSORIES PROVIDED FOR NEWBORNS, OTHER CHILDREN, AND MOTHERS
We would love to create timeless classic newborn portraits of your baby that you will cherish for a lifetime. We will take care of everything for you. We will style your session using a color palette of your choice with beautiful natural accessories for the little one.
The studio has all the accessories you can imagine for your baby’s first professional photo session—hats and bonnets, outfits and dresses, flower crowns, angora cuddly toys, flowers, baskets, small wooden beds, buckets, wraps, etc.
Additionally, we have over 200 beautiful dresses for women. We also have handmade ceremonial outfits for older siblings.
SAFETY AND COMFORT OF YOUR NEWBORN BABY
The comfort and safety of your baby are our top priorities. We have completed numerous training sessions on newborn posing and strictly follow the safety guidelines recommended by pediatricians and newborn photography industry experts.
We will never attempt to place your baby in an uncomfortable or dangerous position (please note that some newborn images you may see online involve composites—two shots merged together in Photoshop, for the safety of the baby).
Newborn posing involves a lot of instruction (including safety) and practical training. For this reason, we kindly ask you not to attempt to recreate the newborn photos you find online at home.
Additionally, all the photographer’s necessary vaccinations (including for whooping cough) are up to date.
In our studio, we allocate plenty of time to comfort, feed, and cuddle the babies. We keep the ambient temperature warm for the maximum comfort of the newborns and monitor it constantly during the session. The mother can feed/breastfeed her newborn during the session as many times as needed. We encourage breastfeeding for those who breastfeed, and we won’t rush you.
You won’t be required to use bottles for breastfed babies if you don’t want to. While pacifiers can greatly assist with the session, if the parents prefer not to use them, we will not offer them to the babies.
NEWBORN PHOTO SESSION PACKAGES
All our newborn photo packages include both professional photo prints and digital files.
Each client purchasing a studio package will receive prints on the best professional paper they can select. We frame the prints for you in museum-style mats. Additionally, we offer handcrafted boxes made in Italy.
Promotional packages are available for maternity and newborn photo sessions booked together (you will receive two complimentary photos if you book both sessions at the same time).
