Winston Salem Newborn Photographer
Welcome!
Stunning. Amazing. Patient. Words that have been used to describe a newborn photography session with me.
Newborn photography is an art form to which I have dedicated extensive time and effort crafting for 20 years. It demands a great deal of patience, an understanding of newborn cues, and a focus on safety in posing. My clients often refer to me as the baby whisperer, and I've even had more than one mom and dad ask me to come home with them. Rest assured, your baby is in good hands with Winston-Salem's most experienced newborn photographer.
How Does A Newborn Photography Session Work?
BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND
Our journey together starts with our initial contact. During this conversation, we will discuss colors in your home and what you intend to do with your artwork after our session. Understanding the smallest details allows me to create images that align with your vision. To assist you in planning art for your home, check out the examples in "4 Ways to Display Portraits in Your Home."
BOOKING NEWBORN PHOTO SHOOT
If you love my work and wish to book your session, I will email you a contract, release form, and retainer. This non-refundable retainer secures your date on my calendar and is applied to your collection after our newborn photo shoot. You will receive a newborn session guide that reiterates what we discussed in our initial conversation (which is a lot to remember).
BABY'S ARRIVAL
One to two weeks before your due date, I will follow up to see how you are progressing. I understand that newborns rarely arrive on their actual due date, so I take a limited number of newborns each month to ensure you do not worry about getting into the studio. Once your baby arrives and a few details are settled, we will schedule a date for your session.
BEFORE SESSION
The day before our session, I will email you the newborn preparation guide and begin setting up the studio. I will text you images of the sets created for approval. You are welcome to tweak the set design, wraps, or accessories as needed. The end goal is to create images that you will love.
PORTRAIT SESSION DAY
My studio is located on our 14-acre property. When you arrive, please make yourself at home. Water and refreshments, including coffee, will be available. You are welcome to watch me work or go outside for a stroll. Depending on your session, we will spend between one to three hours together. If your baby becomes fussy during the session, don't stress. I understand newborn cues and have settling techniques that have worked year after year.
