Newborn photoshoots and sessions are typically booked 2 months before your due date (and isn't it nice to check something off your to-do list before the baby comes?).
Once your baby arrives, we'll pick a date for you to come into the studio for your session - usually 7-18 days after birth. Newborn sessions are scheduled Monday through Thursdays. Weekend dates are available for an extra fee.
Before your photo session, we'll talk about colors and props you'd like to use during the session. If there's anything special you'd like to include, please let me know at the time of your booking.
A couple of days before your session, I'll send you the address to my studio, along with a brief prep guide going over what to bring (basically you, baby, paci...) and what you can expect (Dads, this ones for you - a typical newborn session can take 2-3 hours.. yes, hours... )
My photography studio is fully stocked with everything you'll need for your session. I have a large variety of props, little beds, buckets, blankets, and wraps! Let me know any specific colors you'd like to use, and I'll design multiple setups that flow well for your session!
"Dana has so many props and blankets! It's like she has her own little store that we can browse and choose things from!"
Newborn photography is my favorite type of family photography. I love helping expecting mothers welcome their new bundles of joy and documenting the first few moments of the baby's life!
If you're searching for a newborn photographer here in the Okotoks & Calgary area, I would love the opportunity to chat with you!
