As a newborn photographer, I've found that the timing and sequence of events during a newborn session can greatly impact the overall experience and outcome. One of the strategies I consistently employ is starting the session with family and sibling portraits. In this blog post, I'll explain why I prioritize these portraits at the beginning of newborn sessions and how it benefits both the family and the final result of the photoshoot. Addressing the Needs of Little Siblings: Newborn sessions typically last between 3 to 4 hours, a timeframe that can be challenging for little siblings, especially toddlers. By starting with family and sibling portraits, we address the reality that young children have limited attention spans and energy reserves. Beginning with these portraits ensures that siblings are fresh and engaged, increasing the likelihood of cooperation and genuine interactions captured in the photographs. Accommodating Mom's Preparation: Before coming to the studio, moms often spend time preparing themselves, including doing their makeup and styling their hair. As a photographer, I want moms to feel confident and comfortable during the session, and part of that confidence comes from feeling good about their appearance. By starting with family portraits, we allow moms the opportunity to complete their preparation beforehand, ensuring that their makeup and hair are fresh and camera-ready for the photoshoot. Maximizing Efficiency: Prioritizing family and sibling portraits at the beginning of the session maximizes efficiency and time management. By addressing the needs of little siblings and accommodating mom's preparation before the session, we ensure that we make the most of the time available. This approach allows us to capture beautiful family portraits while everyone is fresh and attentive, before transitioning seamlessly into individual newborn poses. Starting newborn sessions with family and sibling portraits is a strategic choice that benefits both the family and the photographer. By addressing the needs of little siblings, accommodating mom's preparation, and creating a relaxed environment, we set the stage for a successful and enjoyable photoshoot experience. This approach ensures that we capture authentic and meaningful moments that will be treasured for years to come, from the excitement of welcoming a new addition to the love and connection that define the family unit.
STUDIO NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY VERSUS IN-HOME NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHYSince I opened my photo studio in Santa Clarita, CA, most of my newborn sessions take place in the comfort of my studio, which is bathed in natural light and offers a controlled environment for optimal photography conditions. Working in my studio allows me access to a wide range of props, backdrops, and equipment, ensuring that I have everything I need to create stunning images for my clients.
Baby J's Newborn Photography Session in Santa Clarita, CA photo studio At the beginning of March, our studio in Santa Clarita, CA welcomed a tiny bundle of joy – baby J, along with his loving parents and doting grandparents. It was an absolute pleasure to have them with us, especially since baby J's grandma reached out to us after being impressed by the photos we captured of her nieces' babies. With a theme of blue and cream chosen for this session, we embarked on creating timeless memories for the family.
Welcoming a new addition to the family is always a momentous occasion, filled with joy, love, and anticipation. Recently, I had the pleasure of hosting a heartwarming baby girl newborn session at our Santa Clarita photo studio, where every tiny detail was carefully curated to create timeless memories.
We got to capture the beautiful journey of a lovely family with their newest member—a cute baby boy, along with his loving parents and their adorable fur baby in our Santa Clarita photo studio. Right from the start, we could see that their bond was as warm as the California sun. Their little bundle of joy, with his tiny fingers and cute nose, snugly nestled in their arms, instantly stole our hearts. And we can't forget their furry friend, whose playful antics added even more joy to the whole scene.
