The Newborn
Experience
"Brianna has some serious baby magic up her sleeves”
- Erra-Lynn
Adding a new child to your family is a huge milestone and deserves to be remembered with beautiful photos, I would be honoured to be the one to capture these moments for you. My style of photography leans towards capturing love and connection with natural poses, neutral tones and a timeless feel.
The Studio
Newborn sessions take place in my home based studio. Here I have created a warm and inviting environment that is perfect for taking newborn pictures. I have a large daybed for connective family photos, lots of plants and greenery, my giant bean bag for posing baby, and my giant strobe light which helps achieve those beautiful soft colours in my editing.
I also have a little sitting area for clients to relax (I've even caught a few people getting cozy and taking a nap) and a little play area for siblings.
The Session
After reserving your due date in my calendar we will wait to book an actual session date until baby arrives (I recommend booking between 7-21 days old). Depending on the type of session you book it will take one to three hours, but this can vary depending on baby (you can't simply tell them what to do). With my ten years of experience very little phases me and I will use my bag of tricks to help settle baby and keep them happy throughout the session.
The Wardrobe
Over the years I have built up quite the wardrobe for my clients to choose from. These include dresses for mom, heirloom outfits and wraps for baby, headbands and bonnets, plus outfits for toddlers and older siblings. You won't need to worry about dressing up to come to your session, just show up in something comfortable and I will help style your session to look beautiful.

The Fine Print
From your session I will curate a selection of the best images to show you in a proof gallery, these will be lightly edited and from here you will be able to choose the number of images included in your package. If you fall in love with more images than your package includes there are some upgrade options available below that include prints + FREE images. Alternatively extra images can be purchased for $35+ HST each or you can choose to upgrade and purchase the remaining photos in your gallery for $150 + HST. Your chosen images will be provided as high resolution digital files, RAW files and images not chosen will not be provided.
If you choose the heirloom session you won't have to make any choices you'll receive a full gallery with a minimum of 40 images, the session is an extra hour in length allowing for additional poses and set ups, plus you'll get a beautiful handcrafted album valued at $475 as a special keepsake at the end.

The Process
Step one
INQUIRY (You are Here!)
All you have to do is say YES! Secure your booking with payment of the retainer fee, sign a portrait agreement and we can begin the fun stuff!
Step THree
CONFIRM THE PLAN
Once baby arrives you'll let me know and we'll book your session date! These are booked Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays at 10 AM (summer studio hours do differ slightly).
Step Four
SHOOT DAY
The best part! We get to meet and capture all the best memories.
Step FIVE
PROOF GALLERY
About 1 week after your session I will send a lightly edited gallery, from here you will be able to select the images you want to keep based on the number included in your package. If you choose the Heirloom package you get to skip this step!
Step Two
PREP BEGINS
You'll be sent some info on how to prepare for your session. Nothing too crazy but we will go over outfit options and what to do the morning of your session.
Step SIX
DELIVERY
After you have selected your images I will go through and put the finishing touches on them (baby skin can be a little messy so scratches and blemishes will be removed). Once your final gallery is sent you'll be able to download the fully-edited images and we will begin the process of working on the print products!
