WHEN SHOULD NEWBORN PHOTOS BE TAKEN?

The most important thing you can do is choose a photographer who specializes in the style of newborn photography you love. This will have an important impact on when is best to schedule your newborn photos. For posed newborn photos, the best age to take newborn photos is within the first 2 weeks after birth

HOW LONG IS A NEWBORN SESSION?

HOW LONG IS A NEWBORN SESSION?A newborn session is typically 3 hours in length. This allows lots of time for snuggles, feedings and to settle your little one into multiple poses and props. Newborn sessions take a lot of experience and patience and knowledge of how to follow a baby's cue's and know when they need a break and when they are done.

HOW MANY SETUPS AND POSES ARE DONE IN MY NEWBORN SESSION? HOW MANY IMAGES WILL I BE SHOWN?

Typically we will do 5-7 props, fabric poses and family and sibling (and sometimes furbaby) images and grandparents are welcome for generation portraits. There is no set limit, we just shoot until baby says they're done or until we're happy with the sets we have done. A final gallery is typically 80-100 unique images

HOW MANY IMAGES DO I GET WITH MY NEWBORN SESSION?

This is up to you! I show you the images taken and YOU get to choose your favorite images and decide what ones you would like to keep after your session takes place.

HOW DOES THE NEWBORN SESSION PLANNING WORK?

When it comes to your baby, leave everything up to me! I will send a planning questionnaire that asks questions about colors, styling, backdrops, outfits and any special requests you may have. All my sessions are designed with the family's requests in mind whether you want your session to be mostly about the family bond, mostly about baby, classic and timeless or with a little bit of whimsey.

SHOULD PARENTS BE IN NEWBORN PHOTOS?

I think it's so very important to include the whole family in your newborn photo session! Some photographers only photograph your baby or they only include the parents and siblings in just a few of the photos. Capturing your newborn and family photoshoot is creating a legacy for your children. Hair and makeup is included for moms. You can get dressed up utilizing my client closet Some families like the silhouette style. The choice is yours! I also have lots of cute dresses for sisters and the boys and men just wear dark jeans or dress pants and a simple top in light and/or dark. Grandparents are always welcome for generation portraits! So easy!

WHAT SHOULD PARENTS WEAR TO A NEWBORN PHOTOSHOOT?

We want the focus to be on baby and not the brightest color in the photos. I recommend light pinks, blues, black, white, cream and gray. Avoid hot pink, neon green and bright orange as these can cast unflattering colors onto your skin and baby's skin. We provide a client closest of dresses for moms & girls.

HOW DO I BOOK A NEWBORN SESSION WHEN I'M PREGNANT? WHAT AGE SHOULD MY BABY BE FOR THEIR SESSION?

We will hold your newborn session on the calendar with your due date. I book a limited number of sessions per month and this includes due dates. When your baby is born, and after you have a couple days to heal we will schedule your photo shoot date for when baby is 10-20 days old. Newborns are best photographed under 3 weeks old, under 2 is preferred. This way baby is still super sleepy and bendy and we can have a wonderful session with lots of sets!

MY BABY IS ALREADY BORN. CAN I STILL BOOK A SESSION?

Yes! Please do not hesitate to contact us if your baby is already here to see if we can squeeze you in. Although we prefer babies under three weeks old, we will photograph babies up to 8 weeks old.

WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING TO MY NEWBORN PHOTOSHOOT?

I will send a prep guide that helps prepare you and baby the morning of your photo shoot. This will also list items to bring, but honestly I provide everything needed - all you need to bring is a baby and milk!

IS EDITING INCLUDED FOR MY NEWBORN PORTRAITS?

You may notice a distinct look to all my babies with perfect flawless skin and nice soft backdrops. This is a mix of how I light and shoot and the retouching I do. All sessions include full retouching, including skin retouching and blemish removal. We also offer "model" editing for moms when doing a more glamorous look. Slimming and anti-aging are also included upon request.

DO YOU OFFER NEWBORN MILESTONE SESSIONS?

Absolutely! We offer maternity, newborn and milestone session pricing to capture your pregnancy through baby’s first year portraits.

What Parents Are Saying

Ria L

“Dara’s bling photography was exactly the photographer we were looking for to capture my maternity photos and our newborn photos of our baby girl. From start to finish Dara listened and guided us to capture the memories we were looking for. She made sure to communicate with us so nothing was missed. She provided everything from my maternity clothes, makeup done, and newborn clothes. She even had snacks and toys to keep my toddler busy while we got the solo or couple shots done. She did so well with my toddler and my newborn. She was upfront with everything and catered to our budget never pressuring us. In the end the results of the photos are amazing. We would highly recommend Dara and her company to capture your maternity photos and newborn photos.”

“Dara is exceptional! After months of research I chose Dara's Bling Photography because her social media accounts and website displayed diversity. Being a black woman it was important for me to go where I would be genuinely welcomed and not just tolerated because I was a paying customer. Dara treated my husband and I like we were family. I did the maternity and newborn sessions. Dara was very gentle and patient with my days old baby. My baby's safety was her priority. Her studio is private and clean. She has an extensive variety of props,clothing and backdrops. Dara's work is SUPERB!!! Her skills with her camera and makeup brush created magic. I highly recommend her services. I will definitely return.”
