Little Richard the 3rd aka RJ came to see me for his custom newborn session. Along with his parents, was his big brother Lukas who kept me entertained during the family session. He didn’t approve of daddy giving mommy a kiss, so he tried to break it up. It was precious.

 I love having experienced mamas in the studio. They know updating their family portrait is important and capturing professional sibling portraits will be something they will treasure forever. Even though they may worry about their active toddler but we usually have a successful family and sibling portrait session.

When booking your newborn session, there is always a question of “When will we do it?” As an expectant mama, you may be planning on having your baby naturally with no predetermined date of when your baby will arrive. That leaves for much uncertainly when booking your newborn session. But that is ok. When you book your newborn session with me, before your baby’s birth, I will add you to my calendar and will not overbook for the week that you are expecting. Within two days after giving birth (while resting in the hospital or at home) shoot me a message of your blessed arrival. From there, we will schedule a date for your newborn’s photography session. Newborns are best posed and photographed within 5- 14 days of birth, so it is crucial to have your newborn photographer booked well before your baby arrives. 

If you are in need of newborn portraits, please give me a call today (315) 297-1816 or email me at info@simplyshelayna.com. I will guide you through the experience I offer, answering all your questions and concerns. I will even provide you with my own style guide to help you prepare for your session.
