Q: What should I expect during a newborn session?A: At Lauren Dunn Photography, we aim to create a relaxing and enjoyable experience for both the parents and the newborn during the photo session. Here's what you can expect: 1. Session Duration: A typical newborn session lasts anywhere from 45minutes to 4hrs in length. This allows time for feeding, soothing, and posing the baby comfortably. 2. When to Schedule: The best time to capture newborn photos is within the first 5-14 days of life, when the baby is still very sleepy and can be easily posed. 3. Preparation: We recommend keeping your baby awake for about 1-2 hours before the session and feeding them right before you leave for the studio. This helps ensure they are sleepy and content during the shoot. More information will be provided in our Newborn Session Guide sent to parents after booking. 4. Posing and Safety: I specialize in newborn photography and take the utmost care to pose your baby safely. We encourage parents to bring any sentimental items they wish to include in the photos. 5. Comfort: The studio will be kept warm to ensure your baby is comfortable, and we have a variety of props, wraps, and outfits available. Parents are welcome to relax during the session! Please dress yourself in layers as the studio can feel uncomfortably warm for adults. 6. Sibling and Family Shots: If you wish to include siblings or family members in the photos, we will allocate time for these shots either at the beginning or end of the session to keep the experience smooth for everyone involved. 7. Viewing and Selection: After the session, you will be invited back to the studio or provided with an online gallery to view the proofs and select your favorite images for final edits. We strive to provide a stress-free and memorable experience, resulting in beautiful, timeless photos of your newborn that you will cherish for a lifetime. If you have any specific requests or concerns, feel free to discuss them with us prior to the session.
