FAQS About Studio 29 Newborn Photography Sessions
Reflecting on my personal experience, having newborn photos taken of my own child was one of the most heartwarming decisions I ever made. It was a moment captured in time, forever preserving the innocence and beauty of my baby’s first weeks. These photographs have since become cherished family memories, adorning our walls and filling our photo albums with joy and nostalgia. Every glance at these pictures takes me back to those early days, reminding me of the tiny details – the softness of their skin, their delicate fingers wrapped around mine, and that peaceful expression while they slept. These images are more than just photographs; they are a gateway to reliving those precious moments that passed all too swiftly. They serve as a reminder of a time when life changed for the better, becoming an integral part of our family history that we’ll treasure for generations to come.
Let’s dive into some of the most common questions about newborn photography.
“What should I look for when hiring a newborn photographer?”
It’s important to choose a photographer who specializes in newborn photography and has experience working with infants. At my studio, I have years of experience working with newborns and their families. I’m dedicated to providing a comfortable, safe, and enjoyable experience for you and your baby. I understand the importance of capturing these early moments, and I take pride in creating beautiful, timeless memories that you’ll cherish for years to come.
“What can I expect during a newborn photography session?”
During a newborn photography session, I’ll work to create a comfortable and safe environment for your baby, and guide you through the posing process. You can include your family members in the photos, and I encourage parents and siblings to participate in this special moment. If you have any specific poses or props in mind, I’m always happy to incorporate your ideas and preferences into the session.
To capture the best moments, it’s important to schedule your newborn photography session as early as possible, ideally within the first two weeks of your baby’s life. I recommend booking your session as soon as possible during your pregnancy to ensure availability.
“What is your style of newborn photography?”
I specialize in lifestyle newborn candid photography, capturing authentic, heartfelt moments that tell the story of your family. My approach focuses on natural interactions, preserving the raw beauty of those early days through timeless, unscripted images. Each session is designed to celebrate your unique bond, creating memories you’ll cherish forever. I specifically love capturing not only your adorable baby, but also all of the subtle interactions between the baby and parents. My goal is to capture the love, joy, and connection that your family shares.
“Why should I choose Ren Lenhof of Studio 29 Photography as my newborn photographer?”
As a mother myself, I understand the importance of capturing these precious moments with your new baby. I also have years of experience working with newborns and know how to handle them safely during photo shoots. My passion for photography combined with my gentle approach allows me to create beautiful images while keeping your baby comfortable and secure.
Additionally, my editing style focuses on natural colors and soft lighting to enhance the beauty of your family without overpowering it. I do not heavily edit my photos – I love authenticity! By choosing me as your newborn photographer, you can trust that your memories will be captured in a loving and professional manner.
“Do I need to bring anything?”
You don’t need to bring much to the session – I have some posing pillows and swaddles at the studio and I always bring a basket bassinet along to my sessions whether we do it in the studio or at your home. However, I encourage you to bring a few personal items that you would like to incorporate into the photos, like a special blanket or toy (this is optional)!
“What should my baby wear?”
I love photographing babies in neutral clothing because it allows for a timeless and classic look. Simple onesies or just a diaper cover works great! I also have some adorable outfits available to use if you would like. However, feel free to dress your baby in whatever makes you happy – their comfort is the most important thing! If possible, try to avoid any clothes with logos, characters, or writing on them as they can be distracting in photos.
My top favorite places to shop for adorable neutral baby clothes: Quincy Mae, Rylee + Cru, H&M, ZARA, and Colored Organics.
I also have a page on my website specifically featuring adorable clothes for photo sessions: Shop Curated Outfits HERE
“When will I get my photos?”
After the session, you can expect to receive some initial preview images within a week and then the final completed gallery of photos within 2-3 weeks.
“How much does newborn photography cost?”
Newborn photography sessions can range from $585 to $685, depending on the package. I know this might seem like a significant investment, but keep in mind that newborn photography is a specialized service that requires a lot of time, effort, and equipment. I’m dedicated to providing high-quality images that you’ll cherish for a lifetime!
I offer 30, 45, and 70 minute lifestyle newborn sessions, either at my Milwaukee photography studio or I will come to your home. All of my sessions include an online gallery with downloading and printing rights to all of the finalized images.
