What to Expect: Newborn Session



When to book your newborn session:

The best time to photograph a newborn is when they are two weeks of age, although this is a guideline. We have had newborns as old as 6 weeks in our newborn studio, so if you’re interested and feel you may have missed the window please contact us. You can contact me at any time during your pregnancy, and I'll add your estimated due date to my calendar. When you arrive home from the hospital with your new baby, you can contact me again and we'll set a suitable time and day for your session.


Where the sessions are held:

Newborn sessions take place at our studio in Snyder, Texas. We have snacks for siblings and coffee and water for mom and dad. Our studio address is 3600 College Ave - between United Supermarkets and Prosperity Bank. Newborn sessions are by appointment only and take place Monday-Friday, typically in the morning hours. Our building closes at 5pm daily.


What to expect during the session:

Newborn sessions take about 2-4 hours to allow time for feeding and settling the baby. You do not have to bring any props or clothing for your new little one. There are bows, wraps, tie backs, etc., that will be available in the studio for you to choose from. All you need is your usual diaper bag essentials: diapers, wipes, pacifier, etc.    


What to expect after the session:

You will see your first images within hours of leaving our studio and your full session will be ready 7-14 days after your session. When your session is ready for you I will contact you to schedule your in person ordering session. Your order is ready for pickup in boutique packaging 3-4 weeks after you place your order.


Do we offer a package that includes both Maternity and Newborn Sessions?
