A complete guide to choosing the best newborn photographer for your family:
If you’re a new parent, you’re probably overwhelmed with all the decisions you need to make,
I’m here to tell you that choosing a newborn photographer doesn’t have to be one of them!
As a studio newborn photographer in Detroit, I understand the importance and value of capturing these early moments of your baby’s life.
Let me guide you through the process and provide you with all the information you need to capture the early moments of your baby’s life.
So, let’s dive into some of the most common questions about newborn photography!
“What Should I Look for When Choosing a Newborn Photographer?”
When choosing a newborn photographer, experience and safety training should be at the top of your list. Look for someone who specializes specifically in newborn photography—not just someone who photographs babies occasionally. Working with infants requires specialized skills, patience, and most importantly, proper training in newborn safety techniques.
With over 15 years of experience photographing newborns and their families, I’ve dedicated my career to mastering this specialized craft. Safety is woven into every aspect of my process, from how I handle posing to the environment I’ve created in my studio. My goal is to provide you with a comfortable, relaxed experience while capturing the beautiful, timeless memories of these fleeting early days—images you’ll treasure for years to come.
“What can I expect during a newborn photography session?”
When you arrive at the studio for your newborn session, you can leave the stress at the door. I designed the studio space to offer a calm, serene environment where you can truly relax while I work my magic with your little one. Feel free to settle in comfortably—this is your time to unwind.
I follow a carefully planned workflow that prioritizes your baby’s comfort and safety above all else. Every pose, transition, and setup is done with your newborn’s wellbeing in mind. This structured approach isn’t just about safety—it’s also how I’m able to capture the beautiful variety of images you’ll cherish. By working systematically through different poses, props, and setups while your baby is content, we maximize the creative possibilities of the session.
Your role? Simply be present and enjoy watching your baby being photographed. My assistant and I handle everything—the posing, the soothing, the adjustments. You’ve been working hard as new parents, so let us do the work during this session. All you need to do is relax, grab a snack, and watch as we capture this precious phase of your baby’s life.
You can include your family members in the photos, and I encourage parents and siblings to participate in this special moment. If you have any specific poses or props in mind, I’m happy to incorporate your preferences into the session.
To capture the best moments, it’s important to schedule your newborn photography session as early as possible, ideally within the first two weeks of your baby’s life. I recommend booking your session during your second trimester of your pregnancy to ensure availability.
“Do I need to bring anything?”
You don’t need to bring much to the session. The studio provides most of the items your baby will need. I offer an extensive collection of props, backdrops, accessories and wardrobe. I will also send you a list of must-have items to bring in order to keep baby happy in between poses.
“When will I get my photos?”
After the session, you can expect to receive the final edited photos within 2-3 weeks. I offer a range of packages that include both digital files and prints. I’m happy to work with you to create a customized package that meets your specific needs.
“How much does newborn photography cost?”
Newborn photography sessions can range from $600 to $3,000, depending on the package. I know this might seem like a significant investment, but keep in mind that newborn photography is a specialized service that requires a lot of time, training, effort, and equipment. I’m dedicated to providing high-quality images & products that you’ll cherish for a lifetime!
So, there you have it! Newborn photography is a wonderful way to capture the early moments of your baby’s life. I do my best to take care of all the details, so all you have to do is show up!
