Newborn mini sessions are so quick and easy. Most of the session involves keeping baby fed and changed and soothed, and about 20 minutes involves getting baby wrapped and moved from prop to prop. I create three set ups for baby in the colors of your choice and the whole thing takes about an hour.

Baby is wrapped in a round cocoon to keep the fabric smoother around their elbows and knees, and to keep them more relaxed as they can’t feel my hands or the props as much. This allows me to move them more easily from set up to set up without waking them. I also really love the nice smooth way the fabric layers on top of itself and how it keeps baby more supported so that their face can be the primary focus of the shot.
