HOW TO PREPARE FOR A SESSION
Generally, the best age of a baby for a newborn session is 6 - 12 days after birth. You can postpone this age by a few days, but beyond 3 weeks the session becomes very troublesome for the baby and frustrating for us (photos are of poorer quality).
This rule does not apply to premature babies. In this case. we wait with the session until the baby is strong enough for the session and weighs about 6 pounds.
The date of birth of the child predicted by the doctor is always only an approximation. We are perfectly aware that no one can determine this precisely, and it is extremely rare that things go according to plan. Therefore, our reservation dates are only indicative. After the baby's birth, we will be in contact and agree upon a specific session date that works for us all. Have no worries if your baby is born early or late, we will find a date that is convenient for both you and us.
YOUR BABY IN OUR HANDS
Our sessions are organized in client’s home
to provide the best possible comfort for a happy mom and her baby. It does not require great preparation from them. For a newborn session, we will need a little space that can be found in each house and natural light from the window (it is the most beautiful). Such a session is also a big event in the family’s life and is carefully observed by the parents and often by the grandparents. The possibility of parent participation in the session gives them exceptional comfort and a sense of security.During the session, our tasks are very precisely divided
Adam deals with lighting, preparing compositions for photography, and photography. Ela has made original compositions before the session for photos, prepares props, takes care of and poses the baby during the session. Posing newborn requires great patience and experience. The position in which we place baby are natural, so also safe. We refuse to perform such practices which in some way may be detrimental to newborn health.
- Every shot is carefully posed. This requires exceptional patience and delicacy.
- Lighting as well as heating during the session is very important.
- The mother is always right next to her baby.
PROFESSIONAL EDITING
Editing photos is not visible to parents but a very important part of the newborn session. Typically, editing a single photo takes about 15 minutes. Includes (depending on the needs) exposure correction, white balance, baby skin smoothing, removing various unnecessary elements from the picture. Filter application depending on the lighting, climate and color scheme of the composition. All editing is done manually, individually for each photo. No presets are used to achieve the best effects.
