Our home studio is warmed up to a 24-26 degree temperature. When you arrive and are settled in, I will ask if I can hold your baby while asking some questions. Some of these questions will be about the birth, if there were any complications to you or your baby. Was the birth Caesarean or Natural? These sorts of questions will help me make sure you have the most relaxing time. We have calming music playing in the background, and with the warmth – half the Dads fall asleep on the couch!
While asking these questions, I will be getting to also know your baby – are they sensitive to touch? How alert are they? Are they feeling disgruntled? Depending on your babies mood, I may start the session with them fully wrapped, making them feel safe & secure. If this is the case, we will also begin with the family photographs and then move onto prop photos. After this we will move to more posed photos on the newborn posing bag. During this time, if we need to stop for feeds, burping, nappy changes & cuddles. We will do.
