Behind The Scenes With Newport Beach Newborn Photographer
Being a photographer for over 10 years now, I have gained a lot of experience and found what works for my portrait studio.
Many people may think that a photographer just captures the session, edits the photos and that's it. Come join me behind the scenes to see what it looks like working with our studio.
NEWBORN SESSION PREP
There is lot of time, preparation, organization and coordinating that goes on before the session itself.
We coordinate with our professional hair and makeup team to ensure they are ready and waiting for you on the day of your session.
We offer a variety of beautiful high-end dresses in a range of sizes and colors that are postpartum friendly, steamed and ready when you arrive.
We send a list of valuable tips to help the morning of your session run smoothly.
Forget your diaper bag, pacifier, wipes? Don't worry, we have all the necessities in studio for you and baby.
THE SESSION
The studio is clean and at a reasonably warm temperature for baby to be comfortable while being swaddled and photographed.
I have an assortment of blankets and swaddles in various shades and colors to be clamped on my beanbag, providing a seamless backdrop.
I use comfortable posing pillows that assist me in posing baby.
My cart is stocked with supplies including hand sanitizer, a white noise machine, diapers, wipes, bows, burp cloths and hand warmers (my hands are normally cold so this helps when touching baby).
ARRIVAL
Mom and baby typically arrive at the studio around 9:30am and the hair and makeup team are ready to go.
I get baby changed and swaddled. If baby needs to eat, Mom can nurse or I can bottle feed.
I start by getting baby to sleep and posed. I use baby-led posing so that I can capture your baby as they are naturally.
After I complete all the detail shots and poses of baby, Mom and family are usually ready to join in.
After the session, I wash/dry clean all the items that were used so that they are ready for the next session. We schedule one newborn session a day as each session is different and the time it takes can vary from baby to baby.
My portrait studio newborn sessions allow me to focus on your precious little one while creating light and airy photos that your family will cherish.
