Newborn Photography
Welcome to Lauren Dunn Photography’s newborn sessions page! First off, I would personally like to congratulate you on your new addition to your family! Newborn sessions are an amazing way of capturing the memory of how small your baby is when they first enter the world. Right now, we don’t offer fresh 48, in-home, or lifestyle newborn sessions. We just offer posed studio and outdoor sessions. We do have a large variety of wraps, outfits, and props, but am open to parents bringing items they may want to incorporate into their pictures.
When to schedule newborn sessions?
It's best to preemptively schedule your session while you are still pregnant. We can put a tentative date in the books and change the date later if needed. Typically, tentative dates are set 5-14 days after your due date and can be adjusted after the baby arrives. After the baby arrives, it is still best to schedule the session within the 5-14 day range. If the baby is already here or older than 2 weeks old, don’t fret! Contact me ASAP to schedule your little one’s session. Please note that if your baby has been circumcised, we will need the session date to be at least 5 days after the procedure to allow for ample healing time! If you show up to your session and I am able to visibly see that the wound is still raw, you will be sent home and we will reschedule.
What should I know before booking my session?
Newborn sessions can range in length from 45minutes to 4hrs long. Depending on the package booked, the length may vary as well. Once a session fee has been paid to hold a session, I will email my Newborn Photography Session Guide to you which lays out everything that can help your session run smoothly!
