Welcome to Michelle Carr Photography

Newborn Sessions

• Newborns love to be warm and cozy. I highly suggest that an hour before I arrive for our session you raise the heat in your home so that your little one is comfortable. Comfortable babies sleep, and a lot of the poses that I try with the little ones look ideal with sleeping babies. I love awake babies, too. Little heaters to blow warm air works well also.

• Please feed your baby before I arrive so that he or she has a full tummy. Also, if you'd like shots of your baby undressed, please undress him/her and loosen diaper, then wrap your baby in a blanket, and feed him/her. Otherwise, your baby may get upset at being undressed when they were so cozy. I do like to photograph a newborn mostly in little clothes, but feel free to lay out a few outfits that you may want him or her in.

• I often use the parents as backdrops for baby, so please wear a black top and black pants (if possible). Mom and dad are welcome to join for pictures with baby at no extra charge.

• There is no rush with a newborn session. I like to give special attention to each client, especially newborn sessions. I do not mind waiting for you to nurse or change baby, and I encourage you to take a break to soothe your baby.

• When doing poses where the baby is undressed, it is normal (and okay!) for him or her to "relieve" him or herself on my backdrop ... or anywhere else. I can assure you this happens all the time and I am not upset or offended. Please keep on hand some baby wipes and a towel. After each newborn session I launder all of my backdrops and other items the baby comes in contact with.

• Playing soft music can also help bring a peaceful environment. I also have a few lullaby CD’s I can bring if you wish.
