Denver Newborn Photography

What Is Newborn Photography?

The birth of your child, whether your first or fourth, is an incredible moment in any parent’s life and one that deserves to be captured. Babies grow and change so quickly, you may be surprised how quickly your little one becomes a toddler-and barely resembles the sleepy newborn you held in your arms those first few weeks of their life.

The goal of newborn photography is to capture those precious early moments in your baby’s life and provide parents with images that they can look back on and cherish as their child grows.

Why Is Newborn Photography Important?

I’ve never heard anyone say, “I wish I didn’t have these photos,” but I’ve heard tons of parents say, “I wish I’d taken more photos.” We never regret capturing memories. What we regret is the memories we let pass without trying to hang onto them.

Our memories fade with time, and the power of photography is it allows us to freeze the little moments that are so special to us and look back on them for years to come. Photos serve as a reminder of the life we’ve lived and the love we’ve shared. While you may regret skipping out on newborn photos, I promise you’ll never regret having those images.

Newborn & Baby Session FAQ

Your newborn photo shoot is best scheduled before your new baby arrives to be sure there is availability and that your precious little girl or boy gets in the studio in the first three weeks of their life. Once I receive your session fee, I will then book your due date on my calendar, knowing that your newborn can be born earlier or later than expected. I never book every single day of my week to be sure to get all my newborns on my calendar and to provide the highest customer service I can to my clients.

Yes! Newborns change so quickly and are exhausted after being born and experiencing all the new changes of their first days of life, making it the perfect time to get those curled up, sweet poses. After three weeks, newborns become much more alert and begin to have more awake times, making it much harder to get those adorable sleepy photos.

My favorite days to photograph newborns are in the first two weeks of their lives, between days 6 and 12. However, if your baby is older than three weeks, please don’t hesitate to reach out and contact me. There is never a bad time to photograph your little ones! I have been doing newborn photo shoots for a long time, and I am comfortable going beyond three weeks if needed. My goal is to make sure parents get the photos they want of their baby and their growing family, regardless of your newborn’s age.

YES! This is entirely up to you and is personal preference but yes I most certainly take photos of family and siblings! In order to include immediate family and siblings, you do need to book a Full session because these types of images are not included in the Mini Session.

What you choose to wear for your newborn photo shoot depends on the look that you would like for your images. If you are looking for a very classic, traditional look, then I suggest wearing solid black or gray short sleeve tops and jeans. For women, I recommend solid black maxi, halter, or spaghetti strap style dresses. Now, if you want something a little different from the traditional look, I personally love colors for family photos as well and even a little pattern thrown in there to brighten things up! Either way, I love men in jeans and women in dresses (that show a little skin on the shoulder and arms) for family photos with newborns.

I supply all the props for your newborn photo shoot! I have an enormous amount of newborn hats, headbands, blankets, backgrounds, furs, baskets, crates, etc. Some might actually say I have a bit of a newborn shopping problem! All of my props are specifically made to fit newborns in the first three weeks of life. If you have something personal that you would like to incorporate in your images, such as a family heirloom, please feel free to let me know.
