Video of Newborn Photographer at Work Behind the Scenes

Behind the Scenes Newborn Video, 2011 with Sophie Crew Photography

I love photographing newborn babies, I really do!  Each newborn session for me is so exciting, as I walk into the homes of brand new parents who are just beaming with love and excitement for their new little one, and are so excited for our newborn portrait session.  I always thought it would be great for expectant mommies searching for a newborn photographer to see what a typical session looks like.  I put this video together just for you, mom and dad to be!  I love photographing babies, and hope that this ‘behind the scenes’  peek at a typical newborn session will help give you an idea of what to expect for our session.

I work in the comfort of your own home, and our sessions last approximately 3 hours, and allow for a fun, casual and relaxed time, which allows for plenty of stress-free nursing/feeding, cuddling and prop/set changes. I love capturing a variety of sweet posed sleepy newborn shots as well as more candid interaction with mom, dad, a sibling – just capturing those precious moments. Newborns are photographed within the first 10 days of life, as they are still quite sleepy and bendy at that age for poses that mimic those inside the womb. So many moms and dads tell me how happy they are that I came to them, because in those first few days of having your newborn home, things are crazy hectic.  As you can see in the video, I don’t need a lot of space – just an area near a window.  I bring everything with me, and take special requests as to which props you want for me to bring along. I am constantly finding new props, blankets and hats for our sessions. Thank you so much for taking the time to read about Sophie Crew Photography!
