Cleveland Photographer | Newborn and Family Photography | Studio Photography

Now is the best time to book your newborn shoot for 2024. My calendar is filling up and now booking into April for those sessions. What’s include with a Newborn Session?

For my Simply beautiful session, it’s a 2 hour studio shoot with full access to my client closet and all newborn accessories. Such as wraps, headbands, props and clothes. Your session is customized and unique for your family. The best part is all digital images are included. Usually 40-50 images. If they are all good and beautiful, I sent them all. There is no holding back on digital images.

Baby Addie | Newborn Photography | Modern and Timeless Photography | Ohio

I understand and get it.. You just returned home from the hospital and most likely traveling through a fog. Everything seems to be a whirlwind but yet moving at a snails pace. Then you remembered newborn photos are next week. That means you must cram into normal clothing, hair and makeup. Yikes!

That can all seem to daunting and not on the priority list. Fast forward to your baby’s 1st birthday and this will all seem like a distant memory. You’ll be glad you booked those photos during their first 2 weeks of life. Let’s face it, you were exhausted and might not remember most of it.

Looking back on those newborn portraits will be the best decision and memories you’ll make.

I always recommend for both mom and dad to be in the newborn portraits. But if you are not feeling yourself and would rather just have photos of the baby. I do have a package for that as well.

However, I can’t stress enough how important those newborn portraits are. You’ll look back and can’t believe how tiny, flaky and beautiful that newborn was.

How to choose a Newborn Photographer! | Cleveland, Ohio | Newborn Photography

I understand choosing a photographer for anything can be time consuming and exhausting. It can still leave you wondering if you chose the right person. Here are a few things to consider when choosing a Newborn Photographer. Over the years, I’ve seen a lot from the “building a portfolio discounts” to the “my friend has a camera and will take some photos”, yikes! Newborn Photography is a skill and art that can only be mastered by continued education, practice and the right skills. Newborn Photography is by far the hardest to accomplish out of shooting any subject, but also the most rewarding:)

As an established Newborn Photographer, I am happy to say I’ve dedicated many continuing educating hours in the terms of handling, posing, safety and editing. So your final images are Professional. Thats what you are paying for after all. Not to mention my educational background includes being a BSN Registered Nurse. So my concern for Newborn Safety is always #1 for me. Many people don't know that some of the images you may see floating on the internet or instagram actual takes a village to create. Because having a baby sitting up is simply unsafe and impossible to achieve. Many of those images you may see are a used with holding the baby’s head and tons of photoshop magic.

I am also happy to say I’m a fully certified and accredited for Safety in Newborn Photography. This is key when choosing a Newborn Photographer. Have they taken the extra steps and education to become certified? Just because someone is great with social media posts, or has tons of followers you still need to do your research and ask those questions. After all Newborn photos are time sensitive, best to be done within 2 weeks of life. And after all you can only get these photos once.

I also recommend checking out the reviews before you decide on a photographer. These are actual families that took time out of their busy schedule to help future families choose a photographer.

As of right now there are no laws that distinguish a Newborn Photographer from a hobbyist. Anyone can pick up a camera, make a quick website and take photos. I hope my tips provided you with some reassurance when choosing the best Newborn Photographer for your family.
