Sessions typically last about 1- 2 hours, depending on the session. I allow plenty of time for breaks, whether it is for snacks, clothing changes or for comforting. Your session will be fun and tends to go by quickly.

What to wear
Think simple.  Avoid logos , less is more.  Solid colors, jeans, cute hats/costumes, barefeet are all good ideas and photograph well. 

Children
As a mother myself, I understand that children can be shy when they first meet someone new.  I like to be very laid back and relaxed to try and make them more comfortable.  It is ok if they need to drag their favorite toy in the picture or hold on to a special blanky.  I don’t want them to feel overwhelmed and I don’t want to force them to do anything they don’t want to do. 

Infants
Newborn photos are best done during the first two weeks.  Older newborns are awake more and don’t have that ‘curl’ factor.  Your session will be relaxed and not rushed.  My newborn sessions lasts longer then the average session, 2-3 hours.  This allows  plenty of time for feedings.  Capturing every part of these miracles are so precious since they grow so quickly.  Lots of bareskin is recommended! 

Maternity
Maternity photos are best done at about 32 weeks.  You want to have a nice round belly but still be somewhat comfortable.  Family member involvment is highly suggested.

Location Suggestions
I provide sessions in my home studio or on location within the city of Winnipeg.  Choose something that reflects your family and that you feel you will all be comfortable in.  Whether it is the comfort of your own home, my studio filled with props or a fun outdoor location.
