HELD MOTHERHOOD INDOOR

First of all, thank you for trusting me to capture your family’s story. I am so happy to capture your newborn and part of these precious first moments of life.

Our session will happen in the comfort of your own home and, as you probably know, my style is a merge of lifestyle and documentary photography, meaning I wont have much input but I will guide you a bit so we get the best, most beautiful images of these magical days.

Bellow I will explain to you a bit what to expect from our session:

Day Of The Session: Once I arrive I will tour the house to find us the best light to capture your little one. Please don’t worry about getting the house clean or tidy, I know what these first days are like and the last thing you need is something extra to worry about. If we see a certain photo would look nicer with something out of the way, then I will take care of that at the time of the session, but since my style is pretty much documentary, we will capture those days just as they are! Intense and Beautiful!

Your Baby: Please don’t worry about making your baby sleep or about me positioning him or her in an uncomfortable position, it will all be very organic and natural. My suggestion is that your newborn is dressed in a simple, neutral onesie, no graphics or words, so we can get all the attention on him/her. I also suggest you have some nude photos of him if this resonates with you since these can be very special. For this I do underline the importance of the house being warm at the time of the session. I also like to include in your session some photos of baby breastfeeding if it happens during that time. The session will be guided by the baby and the baby’s needs, it might take longer than the planned and that is totally ok.

Siblings: If your baby has siblings I will usually try to get them in the photo at the beginning of the session since they might lose interest quickly. If you wish, you can tell them a friend is coming to visit and take some photos, I find it is always best to let them know what is happening.

Mom and Dad: These first days will be intense, beautiful and challenging. I don't want you to have to worry about anything related to the session, so please, if you still have any questions after you read this, any questions at all, write to me! As I said before, please see me as a friend with a camera visiting. I want you to feel relaxed and at ease, My aim is not to make this time of your life look perfect, but for it to look real, beautiful.

Wardrobe: I recommend using comfortable clothes with neutral colours and no graphic of text in them. This means the attention will go to the skin, to the person, to the feelings.

Again, any questions, do let me know! I very much look forward to photographing your family!
