Our last blog talked about putting together the perfect outfits for your Family Session! Newborn Sessions are a smidge different and have a little bit of "forgiveness" when it comes to comfort and functionality.
Booking your Newborn Session is so exciting! If you're in your second trimester, it's the perfect time to book. Booking in advance guarantees that there will be a spot for you when your baby arrives.
And so, baby is here (finally) and you can't wait to get those precious little features of your baby captured ASAP. You know this stage is short and oh-so-sweet!
You want your session to be absolutely perfect. From the poses of your baby, to all of the props and accessories that will be used to style your session.
But, suddenly the thought crosses your mind. You want that first family photo! It's going to mean so much to you now, and even more-so down the road. What do you wear?!
Hopefully, your photographer has taken the time to chat with you and share some suggestions with you that will look great for your photos. But, if not, here are a few tips that will have you looking great for your first ever family portrait with your brand new, squishy babe.
We have fabric wraps all shades of the rainbow to match your family's outfits! Those will be provided. Depending on your bravery, some shots will be done with your baby in the nude (so bring an extra set of clothes!)
I provide all of my clients with one on one guidance in the selection of their outfits. Whether you want to piece something together with options from your own closet, or use some of the great choices I have in my client closet, you can arrive to your newborn session with confidence knowing that you've got your bases covered.
Keep it simple, keep it neutral, and always choose comfort. Warm tones will bring out the peachy tones of your skin. Skin-on-skin brings about such a pure and emotional vibe to your portraits. Acne and dry skin can be easily fixed in post-editing. You will absolutely love these precious, early moments captured during your session while your baby still fits in the crook of your arm. Breathe in those fresh baby smells and settle in the moment. And that moment will be yours to keep forever.
Every single family's experience starts with a conversation to begin your custom and personalized journey with Hocus Focus Photography. We encourage an open line of communication from your booking date to your session day, all the way to the delivery of your images. You want to know what's going on and exactly what to expect, and we love that, too!
From outfits to setups, we will ask you simple questions to get down to the root of what styles you're drawn to. Part of the fun of photography is getting creative and doing something new!
Our availability changes from day to day, so please contact the studio for dates and to learn what we will do for you! If you are currently pregnant and in your second trimester, you can book your session right away and will guide you through that (simple) process. :)
