FIRST, lets go over what type of images a newborn session with Tera Shores Photography produces!
These sleepy, sweet, perfect little angles are best photographed between 5-12 days old. Any older than that and they will unfortunately not stay asleep for all the fun poses and maneuvering we do with them!
Images are taken in my studio, here in Fort Gibson, OK, with a temperature of approximately 80 degrees; so be ready to sweat a little and try to dress accordingly. The reason the studio stays so warm is to ensure babies are nice and toasty to remain in this deep sleep for the entirety of the session.
To ensure that babies are nice and sleepy, ready for their session, please attempt (I know it's difficult, that is why I said "attempt") to keep your baby up for a bit before heading to the studio. Possible suggestions may be to take a bath, do some tummy time, or get them undressed for awhile.
Babies also need to be NICE and FULL to go into a deep sleep for their session. Clients are asked to feed their babies RIGHT before heading to the studio. When you arrive, I will ask you to top the baby off before we get started.
{If you are breastfeeding, we have a couch for feeding. It is normal to take a break during the session (multiple breaks) for feeding}
{If you are formula feeding, my studio is located just to the East of my house, and I will be happy to warm anything up for you!}

Newborn sessions take between 2-3 hours and will include 10-12 different poses. These poses sometimes take 10-15 minutes to set up perfectly so baby is deep asleep, relaxed, and position just PERFECT for that picture! (so don't get worried if it takes a bit mommy :)
I will need an assistant during the entire shoot to help with posing, keeping baby safe, and holding items that I need to assist me to capture the perfect image. I ask that Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, or Grandpa assist me and help spot the baby at all times during the session.
SAFETY is my #1 priority and will be discussed a the beginning of every session and monitored during every pose.
All props pictured above as well as many others are provided by Tera Shores Photography and can be used during the session. If there is a specific prop or item you would like included in a image or two, please bring this with you and we will see what we can get!
No clothes will be needed so don't stress. Baby will be naked, wrapped, or posed accordingly.
The studio is also prepared with extra wipes and diapers so don't stress about bringing your whole nursery! (I know what it's like to have a newborn, getting them here is enough work!)
During these sessions, newborns often pee, poop, or spit up several times while posing and maneuvering the baby. THIS IS NORMAL! No biggy, but be prepared with extra burp rag or two as well as a few extra newborn diapers if you do not wish to use mine.
Newborn sessions are primarily focused on capturing the itty bittiness, innocence, and perfection of your beautiful newborn; we can also grab a few pictures of mommy or daddy. (Siblings can be added in as well, but will only be included in a few shots). Wearing something simple and solid colored will be best for these photos.
Newborn photography is something that is special, unique, and once-in-a-lifetime. Your brand new baby will be crawling, walking, and talking before you know it. The perfection of a newborn baby is something you will enjoy having captured on camera forever! If you have not considered newborn photography before, please do! Having pictures of your babies is something that mommies and families treasure for a lifetime!
