I am so excited to meet you and your new baby in the first 48 hours of his or her life! These quick hospital sessions are such a sweet time to capture.

Here are a few ways to prepare and things to think about going into the session:

* As always please let me know if there is anything in particular you would like me to capture or a prop you would like me to use *

THE SESSION:

+ These are documentary type sessions. I am there to document your time in the hospital and the details of your new baby in their hospital swaddle and hat! I do not bring props.

+ Sessions are about 30 - 1 hour. It is a busy time with a lot of people demanding your time.

+ If the new baby has brother(s) or sister(s) I would love to be there when they meet their new sibling! What an amazing time to be able to capture!

PREP:

+ Please let the nursing staff know that a photographer will be coming by. That will help the scheduling of the baby's testing and such.

+ It is good to lower the AC prior to the shoot so that the room is nice and cozy for the shoot. This will help keep the baby cozy and sleepy!

+ Good to have the room clear of personal and hospital stuff as much as possible. I can help you with this when I arrive.

+ If possible feed the baby right before I am expected. But, I am a mom, I know babies need to eat and that is the most important thing at this point in their life.

WHAT TO WEAR:

+ Wearing whatever is comfortable is most important.

+ Mom: Tank top, yoga pants, pretty robe.

+ Dad: Weekend wear - jeans and a shirt

+ Over all: Please no logos and/or busy patterns.
