Baby and Newborn Information

CT Newborn Photographer

As CT newborn photographers, we love to photograph newborns and babies just as they are—not over-posing them or hoping they’ll fall asleep. Instead we love to capture images with baby’s eyes open and in a natural position.  It’s ideal to photograph newborns between seven and ten days.  However, many families wait until life becomes a little more manageable and that’s fine too!

You can choose whether you prefer a studio newborn photography session where we take care of everything for you and have great natural light. Or, many families love having us come to their home, feeling they and their baby will feel more comfortable. The images will have a more photojournalistic feel…and it’s so nice to capture their first home and nursery.

We love not only photograph beautiful, clean photos of your baby alone, but love to photograph the connections between your baby and your family. As new parents, please plan to be in the photos…don’t worry…we work around baby weight and retouch tired moms and dads!  And the siblings are always welcome!

We offer first-year baby plans or individual sessions.  Baby plans include newborn, six-month and one-year sessions plus maternity photo shoots can be added on.  You can find out more about our baby plans here or reach out to get more information on either type of session.

At Home Sessions

At Home Sessions

It’s wonderful to document your baby’s first home and nursery. At-home sessions tell the story of your baby’s early life with your family in a magazine story fashion. No need to stress about your home not being perfect—we’ll do a walk-through to find the best light and create a setting that everyone will love! We remember being newborn parents and will make the photo session easy on everyone.

Studio Sessions

Studio Sessions

Studio sessions are ideal for capturing clean and simple images of you and your baby in a comfortable environment. You can leave the chaos of newborn life at home and let us provide the blankets, wipes and beautiful natural light for the photos. We feel the photos of your baby with their parents are as important as the images of your baby alone. It’s these connections that hold so much meaning, especially years from now—you’ll be glad you participated! At five to six months, outdoor photo sessions at a park or the beach become an option and are a perfect complement to images in the studio or at home as a newborn. During all our custom baby shoots, feel free to take a break or feed your baby whenever needed.
