There is nothing more magical than bringing home a newborn baby. Together we will capture the pure joy, connection and special bond with your newest member of the family in the comfort of your own home. All immediate family members are welcome, including the furry ones! To create a timeless and classic look, no unnatural poses and props will be used aside from natural or light colored swaddles which I will provide and possibly some nursery furniture. Details of the nursery and special keepsakes will aslo be documented.

Just a diaper and if disired, simple plain onesies work best for the baby. Similarly, the rest of the family can wear simple, classic pieces in solid, neutral/light colors (creams, whites, grays, or pastels.) Avoid any logos and loud, bright colors or patterns.

To accomadate diaper changes, feedings, and soothing time, these types of sessions can last around two hours or so.

All session fees above include pictures sent to the client digitally from the photographer. All digital links will be available online for all clients. Clients can also order and shop prints and products via this digital link. If a client wishes to access their photos after a period of two weeks mark or even months/years after, the cost to access their gallery of photos or to receive a new digital link/CD is $30 PER SESSION. Clients are HIGHLY recommended to back up and/or save your photos on a hard drive after receiving them. This will save you from having to purchase access to your digital photos if you loose them, etc. Sweet Coraline Portraiture is not responsible for lost session photos after the client receives them. They must purchase a new link to re-access their session photos.

Once you confirm you want to book a session, we will discuss and nail down a date and location. Location options can range from a rustic look, such as a field with trees, ponds, etc., or an urban feel, like Downtown Jackson with buildings. Once you decide the look you want, i’ll be glad to work with you to decide a final location. As for the session, I always encourage my clients to bring props to enhance the photos and I will bring one or two as well. Props can be signs, a kid’s favorite toy, a wooden box, an awesome piece of furniture, balloons, etc. Props are great to use because they can enhance the photos and make the session more creative. If you aren’t sure what props you want to use, i’ll be glad to consult with you and help! I always encourage my clients to get ideas through Pinterest or online. Feel free to follow and search through my Pinterest boards to get great ideas on props and poses! As for what to wear, see the next question below.
