Children
During sessions with your children, please bring any supplies you might need for them. Feel free to bring along snacks and remember to pack that diaper bag well with wipes, diapers and anything else you might need.

Newborns
If you would like to have your newborn photographed it is best for them to have their portraits done within the first 10 days of life. This is crucial as at that age they are still curly and sleepy which they lose so quickly. I prefer to photograph newborns in their own skin. I make sure to have them comfortable with heaters and blankets to keep them warm. If you have a special outfit that you would like your baby photographed in, be sure that it is sized well as babies easily tend to "drown" in their clothing.

Clothing
Clothing really can make a statement in your photograph. Try to stear clear of distracting letters, pastels or cartoon characters that will be a thing of the past. I love color - color is good! Try to think out of the box with your clothing, fun hats, vests, and lots of layers really add an extra element to the subject!

As always, if you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact me at any time!
