Vancouver Newborn Portraitures

I've been photographing more newborn babies lately at my new studio. There's something so special about a newborn, the way they curl up, they way their skin folds, the way the yawn and even the way they smell. It's amazing how a little bitty person brings so much joy and love to others.

Here's a few tips if you're thinking about investing in having newborn portraitures taken:

1. Newborn photo sessions are for babies under 12 weeks old. The best time to have the traditional "newborn portraits" is before your baby is 10 days old. At this time your baby will still curl up naturally and will sleep most of the time. Also, this is usually before babies start getting baby acne.

2. When taking newborn portraits, I will have you hold or caress your baby so the photo can show how tiny your baby is compared to you. I recommend that you wear solid white or black to get the most out of your photos..no logos on your shirts please unless it's related to the Canucks!

3. Since you will be holding your baby, your hands will be in some of the photos. This is a GREAT excuse to treat yourself a manicure!

4. Knitted baby hats and blankets are great in photos...bring those hats that grandma knitted :)

5. I set aside lots of time especially for newborn photo session so there's plenty of time for changes, feedings, more cuddles and breaks. Relax, have fun and cherish the sweet moments and I will capture this for you.
