So You’re Going to Have a Baby? A Guide to Booking a Newborn Photographer

Welcoming a new baby into your family is an unforgettable experience, filled with moments of unparalleled joy and beauty. As you prepare for the arrival of your little one, capturing these first few weeks through photography can be a wonderful way to cherish these memories forever. If you’re in the Seattle, WA area and are considering booking a newborn photographer, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s explore how Emily Ann Photography can help you preserve these precious moments in a way that’s as relaxed and enjoyable as the images themselves.

The Laid-Back, Baby-Led Approach

Photography, especially with newborns, should be a calm and joyful experience. That’s the philosophy behind Emily Ann Photography’s approach.

Why Choose a Lifestyle Session?

Lifestyle photography captures the essence of your family in the most authentic way. Whether in the comfort of your own home or in Emily’s welcoming studio, these sessions are designed to reflect the genuine interactions, emotions, and love within your family.

For those little touches that make your photos special, Emily provides tasteful, minimal props that enhance without overpowering the natural beauty of your family’s moments together.

 

Preparing for Your Session

To ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience, Emily Ann Photography suggests scheduling your newborn shoot sometime in your second trimester. Planning for about a week after your proposed due date offers flexibility, and adjustments can always be made to accommodate both your and your baby’s schedules. With over 10 years of experience, Emily is adept at making any necessary changes to ensure your photoshoot is perfectly timed.
