Welcome

You have waited 9 longs months to hold your newborn baby. There were days that it seemed baby’s due date would never arrive. You’ve enjoyed watching him drum beat your belly with his little feet. You’ve giggled through his hiccups and cuddled him in your arms though he was still floating inside you. You know your baby is going to be the love, joy and proudest achievement of your life. This is your baby. But babies don’t stay babies forever. They grow up so fast. In just a few short days after birth their features start to change, and of course they are still just as beautiful. But before even a year is out, your baby is starting to move around, walking, even letting go of your hand. Before you know it, that baby is going to be climbing the big yellow steps onto the bus, heading to kindergarten. In a flash, that same baby is receiving his diploma and packing for college. Mama what are you going to do? He’s not so little any more, but, he will always be your baby.

This is why I am here. You want to see your baby as you did the first day you held him in your arms. Tiny and delicate features. Maybe a little bald on top, or some peach fuzz, maybe a head full of hair. I can do that. I can capture that tiny stage of life and create an artwork that you will treasure forever. At each stage as you watch him grow, you will be able to look back at your baby, your tiny baby, and remember him as he started his life.

Newborn photography is an investment. It’s not a snapshot for social media, that falls off your newsfeed only to emerge in a years time and disappear again. It is a treasure to be seen and adored, set on display in the highest quality form of art for your home. Your newborn portrait will be the conversation piece of your home as guest adore your baby’s portrait.

What's Your Newborn Photographer’s Style?

Finding the right newborn photographer may take some time. There are many newborn photographers out there. Find ones whose styles will match your home. All photographers have their own style. My style is soft, and earth toned colors. I love delicacy. Little knits and tiny details. I adore wooden props. I sew and knit most of my own newborn outfits, wraps and bonnets. Almost all that you see in the photograph with your newborn will have been made by me, or handmade by someone I love and trust.

Is Your Newborn Photographer trained?

A newborn photographer needs to be trained. Interview your photographer when you call her to see if she has an opening around your due date. Ask the hard question: Are you trained in the art of newborn safety, posing, and photography? It’s a simply yes or no question. If no, thank them for their time, if yes, find out their story! I have traveled out of state multiple times, and study with the best in the WORLD in online training seminars. My in-person workshops allowed me hands on training that was so exciting. I tell everyone about my involvement. It was an amazing experience! And I am always learning. Not only in newborn safety and editing but have earned my Red Cross Infant CPR Certification as well. Your baby is safe with me.

Is Your Newborn Photographer Insured?

Another thing to considering when investing in a newborn photographer is, is she insured. Often newborns come in with siblings that are excited for their new baby and equipment is expensive. Should for some reason a light be knocked over in the studio, would be covered? Insurance is a must for a studio, and yes, I am covered.

What Does Your Newborn Photographer Offer?

So, you had your session. You saw the setups, the adorable props, and your baby slept so well and now you can’t wait to see the images. Your gallery will be edited and soon you will be able to pick which ones you love the best and what you would like made. Motherhood is stressful enough without worrying if the marketplace is going to cooperate with your orders. I am a full-service photographer for Syracuse, Oswego NY who will take care of all this for you. You will see your gallery of 20-30 portraits within 30 minutes of completing your newborn session. You will be able to choose and order your images the same day, placing your order in your hands that much faster then waiting for another meet up. I will only edit the portraits you order, again saving us both a lot of time. Art for your walls include canvases, heirloom wood prints, metal prints and high-quality prints. Tabletop art includes heirloom lay-flat albums and the versatile Image box. Both artworks include multiple portraits of your choosing. Digital files are available to purchase as well and include the print release for your convenience.

Meet Up With Your Newborn Photographer

As a result, you love her work, and follow her on social media, liking all her post. Now, go and meet her. Make a friend. She is human like you and would love to make your acquaintance and have a consultation with you, before your baby arrives.

I always request a phone call from my first-time inquiries. Even if you don’t want to call me first, drop me a message with your number and a convenient time to call and I will.
