Houston Newborn and Family Photographer

Houston Newborn and Family Photographer, Lisa Carr, with Belly to Baby Studios, is a newborn photographer in Houston. She recently photographed this baby boy when he was 1 month old. It is recommended that you photograph newborns between 7-12 days old. If you are a new Mom, or have never had your newborn photographed professionally you may be wondering why. This time frame is recommended so that your baby will sleep a bit more and so that they are still flexible since their bones and muscles have not fully developed. Babies that are older than this will typically stretch out more and reach out more with their hands during their sessions, and also may not want to be scrunched up or swaddled. We always receive calls after a baby has been born, and Moms are panicked because they did not pre-schedule their baby’s newborn session weeks in advance. We always leave room in our calendars for these last minute sessions. We also believe that it is very important to have your newborn’s photographed even if they are older than the recommended time frame of 7-12 days old. We know older babies will need to be handled differently and accommodations made for extra feedings during the session. Also we love to capture awake babies during the newborn session, and we allow extra time for these poses as well:

How to prepare for your Maternity Portrait Session

Houston Maternity Portrait Photographer

When clients call us to book their maternity portrait session, they always ask: What do I need to do to prepare for the maternity portrait session?

Here are 5 helpful tips that will help you prepare and look your best for your pregnancy portraits:

1. Scheduling.
You should schedule your maternity portrait to occur sometime between weeks 32-36 if you are expecting one child, and between weeks 28-32 if you are expecting multiples. The best time of day to schedule is 10-11am or 1pm. You want to still look fresh, alert and not too tired. If you are working, some moms prefer to have their pregnancy photos in the morning and then schedule a doctor’s check up visit for the afternoon or just go into the office in the afternoon time. We have wifi in our studio so you can always work remote or login periodically if you need to.

2. Pampering.
You are taking the time to have your maternity portraits taken by a professional photographer, so you want to look your best right? Go ahead and schedule your hair and makeup to be professional done as well. Remember to also have your nails and toes pampered too! You can always schedule your mani the day before to maximize your time before your maternity session. Your nails will show during your session. Remember to wear a loose fitting dress or button front top when having your make up and hair done. You will change your clothes at the studio before your session and you do not want to risk messing up your hair or makeup. Spoiler alert: you will look and feel amazing after your glam quad session before your portrait. Remember to schedule a date night with your husband and enjoy your night on the town!

3. Rest and Hydration
In the 8-9 months of your pregnancy sleep patterns will change. As your portrait approaches, remember to take it easy and get plenty of rest. You also want to make sure you are staying hydrated in the days leading up to your session. Drink plenty of water!

4. Eat before your session
Depending upon your session time, make sure you eat a full breakfast or lunch and remember to have snacks before and during your portrait session. We do have small snacks and plenty of water for you during your session.

5. Clothing for your maternity portrait session
You are welcome to bring your own clothes for your pregnancy portraits. Most ladies opt to wear the pregnancy gowns we have in our prop closet. We have a variety of styles and colors to choose from. The gowns can easily be pinned and loosened as needed to fit you comfortably during your session.

Pregnancy is a milestone time in a woman’s life and a portrait is a wonderful way to always remember this time. As your baby grows they will love looking at your pregnancy portraits.

Houston Newborn and Family Photography

Here are a few of our favorite images showcasing Houston newborn and family photography by Belly to Baby Studios. Their session included newborn portraits of their 10 day old son, Lucas, as well as family portraits. We always recommend scheduling newborn portraits when you baby is between 7-10 days old. If you can plan ahead and schedule during your pregnancy that’s great! We know life does not go as planned and you get busy. Many Moms call us from the hospital to schedule their baby’s newborn portraits. We anticipate this and leave room in our schedule to accommodate last minute newborn and family portrait sessions.

When calling different studios, here are a few tips of what to ask the photographer and what to know:

1. Experience

How long has this person been a photographer? Are they a hobbyist or pro photographer? What type of accreditation or professional organizations does this photographer have?

We have been professional photographers for over 20 years. We have professional camera and lighting equipment. These are our tools of the trade and help us create beautiful portraits for our clients. We are Certified Professional Photographers through PPA (Professional Photographers of America).

We always have an assistant on set when photographing your baby to ensure baby safety. This is a top priority for us.

2. Portfolio

When calling studios it is important to preview their portfolio first. Make sure you love what you see and you can envision having your portraits taken at that studio. Ask about the props and what is included with your newborn session.

3. Service and Products

While it might be tempting to select a newborn photographer based on price, it’s best to not always go with the cheapest. Your time is valuable and your baby is very important to you. We have received many calls from clients that have had their session in the hospital or with another studio and they were not happy with the quality of images. We will guide you through your family portrait session and make sure you look your best after having a baby!

After your session, we will help you select your favorite images and help you decide which portraits should go on your wall or in your album. All our portraits and albums are printed at a pro lab and you can definitely see the difference in quality with our products.
