newborn photos

Get precious, beautiful images of your new baby in my Cochrane Alberta newborn studio. Newborn photography is done in the first two weeks of the baby’s life while they are still sleepy and ‘squishy’. Please book early to guarantee a space in my schedule and allow me to order any new  blankets/props/outfits in time for baby’s arrival. Unfortunately last-minute requests, particularly for babies older than 14 days, cannot always be accommodated.

Newborn session

Your newborn baby will be artfully posed on blankets and props, capturing all that tiny baby cuteness! Parent and sibling photos may also be included. Session time depends on the baby – a perfectly sleeping baby with no feeding required could be done in as little as two hours, a fussy baby or a baby that takes a lot of time to feed requires a longer session. I can also do a mini one hour session which is geared towards the Willow digital collection. Due to time constraints baby is usually wrapped for a one hour session unless they are particularly sleepy.

Newborn sessions cost only $49 for the session, then you may choose to purchase your favourite images as digital files or print products. I offer a wide range of products from professional labs, individual digital files, and digital collections.

In summer,  your mini session can be done outdoors in a garden setting (weather dependant).

Themed sessions

A themed session is a single setup with a specialty art theme (eg Harry Potter, Old Barn, Vintage Garden, Teddy Bears, Forest theme hanging baby). These setups take a longer to prepare and can take longer to shoot, so are not generally available in regular newborn sessions. The goal is not a lot of photos, but one really great photo! This session is geared more towards wall art and prints rather than a digital collection, but you can purchase the digital file/s if you wish. These sessions require ample notice and if you have something special in mind that I don’t have in the studio, you may need to acquire some of the prop items yourself and drop them off the day before your session.

** Model calls **

Often I have specific things I’d like to shoot that clients might not think of or choose normally, or there just isn’t time to do them in the normal newborn sessions. These sessions are one setup and may involve themes, composite setups (eg. hanging shots) or whatever artistic fancy I come up with! There is no session fee for model calls and low resolution watermarked files are included in the session fee. If you would like high resolution printable files, they are offered at special price of 3 for $75.

Current model calls

• Harry Potter themed setup (boy only)
• Fishing pier and canoe with fishing outfit (boy or girl)
• Woodsy forest (girl)

If you’d like to participate in one of these sessions please get in touch with me.
