FAQ
WHEN SHOULD I BOOK MY SESSION??
You should book your maternity and/or newborn session as early as you feel comfortable. Be aware our schedule can only accommodate 8-10 due dates a month. It is recommended you book sometime in your second trimester.
Your newborn session will take place when baby is between 5 days and 3 weeks of age. Our preference is about 7 days. This gives baby and mom time to settle into a routine and recover from delivery. In these early days it can be difficult to get out and about. We like to start our newborn sessions at 9:30am and our studio days are Monday through Thursday.
WHERE?
Your newborn session will take place at Delaine Spradley Photography Studio, located in the historic downtown Lake City. Our studio is fully equipped with everything we need for styling a unique, creative session to capture those fleeting little details of your tiny, new baby.
HOW DO I PREPARE FOR MY SESSION?
The morning of your session you should give baby a bath, play, and try to keep baby awake. Give baby a good feed and baby will most likely fall asleep on the way to the studio. It is important that you dress baby in a sleeper that snaps or zips up the front. Pulling clothing over baby's head often upsets them. We want a nice, sleepy, calm little one.
It is important that baby is sleepy for their session. Many of the poses require baby to be in a very deep sleep. We ask that if you can bring extra bottles of expressed milk or formula. This helps us to sooth baby into positions with bottle as opposed to handing baby over for a top off each time they become unsettled. If a pacifier is used, please bring it along just in case. It tends to make it a bit easier to pacify baby during transitions.
DO I NEED TO BRING ANYTHING TO MY NEWBORN SESSION?
Just you, baby, and as mentioned above milk and a pacifier. Our studio is equipped with everything we need. We supply all props, outfits, hats, wraps, headbands, and backgrounds. You do not need to bring any "newborn" clothing or wearable props. In these early newborn days everything is just too big. Baby clothes in "newborn" sizes do not photograph well at this stage and often distract from baby's sweet, tiny features. We suggest you keep any little outfits you have for photos at home when baby is a little older. Many of the commercially made newborn "photo props" are made to fit babies that are closer to 2-3 months, they are often scratchy, and do not photograph well.
HOW LONG WILL MY SESSION LAST?
We offer two newborn session types: Our petite newborn session is 45 minutes. In this session we photograph baby only. Baby is swaddled and photographed in a variety of props. the swaddle, hats, headbands, and bonnets are swapped out between sets to add variety.
The signature newborn session can last up to 3 hours. During this time we photograph baby in a variety of poses and props. This session can include portraits with parents and siblings. Please let us know in advance if you wish to have family portraits and if there will be siblings at the session. If you have a pet you'd like to include please let us know. We love including your fur babies, but need to know in advance to plan accordingly and someone will need to take your pet home after their part is done.
WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR FOR OUR FAMILY PORTRAITS?
The simpler the better. solid, neutral colors. Avoid busy patterns.
We suggest creams vs whites and grays vs black.
