Newborn Photo Options

Our newborn portrait sessions are different from any other baby session we do. They typically take 2-3 times as long as a normal baby session. Why? Because newborns typically need to be fed and/or changed multiple times during the session. Getting that sleepy baby look and all the adorable photos we all love takes a little more time and attention than we spend on babies over 3 months. For that reason we prefer to reserve at least an hour for each newborn session. The sitting fee will be a little more than our regular baby sessions, but it's well worth it for a precious artwork you'll have to cherish for years to come.
A typical newborn session has time enough for two-three different series of images. Each series will have 5-10 poses on a particular set-up or background. Depending on how your baby co-operates we'll know if we can get just two or up to three different series with your session. If you want even more variety in your session, you can opt to add time to your sitting, thus adding a third or fourth series to your collection. Here are a few different series we commonly do at Giggles:

Classic black is just that. Classic. These photos are timelessly elegant and can include shots with mom and dad. We usually try to get full lenths, close ups, detail shots, and family shots for a lot of variety in this series.



Everyone will envy your photos when they see your baby in this pose! The pose is easiest for babies under 2 weeks old who are well fed and ready to sleep. It takes quite a bit of time to get baby asleep enough to get the pose, but it's completely worth it when we get "the shot".



We've got lots of different backdrops and baskets we can use. Typically we determine which to use when you come in for your session. Props such as a blanket or stuffed animal that belongs to baby make great additions to these photos and help use determine what background and basket style to use for your photo. You can visit our facebook page to see our current work including other baskets we have and use.



We've got several backdrops and fabrics we can use for the hanging baby pose. It's best if baby is fully asleep for this pose so it may take a little time to get them asleep enough to pose them well. The results are adorable and eyecatching!




We've got several different ottomans and stools that we can use to pose your baby. From a wild zebra print to the more subdued white we've got a stool for you. Often blankets and props can be included in these photos, so if you've got a special blankie or toy you want inluded, this is a great way to have it included.



One of our most commonly requested series is our stack of towels. We can add props such as a little football, basketball, and soccer ball... duckies for a bathtime look, or a plush toy for a personal touch.
