Here are our session details for
We require an initial consultation to design your session, and are typically booked 3-4 weeks in advance, so planning ahead is usually necessary. We will discuss your vision and collaborate on ideas for your Houston Newborn and Maternity Photoshoot session. Every newborn is unique, and we want your session and experience to be special.
On the day of your session, please plan on arriving at least 15 minutes before your Houston Newborn and Maternity Photoshoot session time so you can settle in and relax before your session.
Houston Newborn Photography
The first weeks after your baby’s birth can be hectic and exciting, so I encourage parents to schedule their session before the birth so that there is one less thing to think of, and one more thing to look forward to.
If your baby’s birth weight is between 9-10 pounds, then we will want to photograph your new baby within the first 8-10 days if possible. If your baby weighs under 7 pounds at birth, we may suggest waiting a little longer. We would love for you to call the studio when your baby is born so we can suggest the best time to come.
Houston Newborn and Maternity Photoshoot Session Details
We recommend feeding your newborn at home and again at our studio before the session. This helps keep your baby relaxed during your newborn photography session. At our studio, we offer several amenities for newborns, including a changing table, wipes, and other essential items, making it a convenient choice for parents searching for “newborn photography near me.”
We will use a variety of props to clothe your newborn for your newborn photography, and also hopefully capture some nudes of your baby. You are welcome to bring your own special blanket, hat, or rattle as props for your portraits. You will have access to our prop collection that includes: wraps, hats, diaper covers, and tutus. We also encourage you to bring a few accessories to compliment our props to add a bit more of your personality.
In the past, some moms have opted to bring hair accessories, hair clips, and personalized hats and blankets.
Best time for
The best time to document your maternity milestone is between weeks 28-34 of your pregnancy. If you have gained little weight, it is best to do this closer to the 36 week mark. We will consult with you and discuss your vision for your portrait prior to your session.
For clothing we recommend classic, simple lines; clothes that will not date your portrait. We have a few items in our clothes closet that are designed for maternity sessions. You are welcome to bring some of your own clothing.
Houston Maternity Photography Tip
Remember to keep the clothing simple, and try to avoid patterns. For pregnancy portraits you can be photographed with or without your belly exposed; whatever you are comfortable with. You are also encouraged to bring your own special items and props that you would like to include in your portrait session. Some items that moms have included are: ultrasounds, letter blocks, tiny hats and boots, gender reveal signs, and other personal creative items.
Pregnant and new moms love to bring their babies to our studio from many surrounding areas of Houston metro. For example, areas are: The Galleria and Tanglewood, The Houston Heights and Bellaire, and also Sugarland and Katy. In addition, a few more areas, The Woodlands and beyond. The Top Houston newborn photographer studio is also conveniently located in a Houston, TX commercial office building.
