]]>She is such a sweet, loving kitten who LOVES to fall asleep in your arms or on your chest. She's getting more and more playful every day and just learning to jump (only about 6" high right now). She's adjusted so well here and Scarlett is absolutely in love with her baby! She refers to herself as "mommy" when talking to Sparkles, hehe!
Naturally, as a newborn photographer, I wanted to bring her into the studio for her "newborn" session. I had so many ideas but Sparkles was a pretty TOUGH baby client. She did not want to stand or be next to the flowers, did NOT want to look at me or the camera at all (except once) and took a very long time to get her to sleep, haha! So a lot of my ideas went out the window and she is SO tiny that baskets and wraps pretty much engulfed her. But after quite a bit of time, we did manage to get a couple of set-ups. And I LOVE the ones with her and her "mommy", Scarlett. So here is our sweet Sparkles...

So after some careful consideration, I have decided to hold newborn sessions in my home in Hemet, CA. I know this may sound like a negative change since my clients will have to come out to me, but I'm really doing this FOR my clients so they can have the best images I can provide. Traveling to my clients homes, I have had my fair share of challenging lighting environments. I do everything I can to pull as much natural light in to get great images for you but when conditions are not ideal, I feel bad because with some better lighting conditions, I could have done more for you. And that is NEVER fair to my clients! Someone may get better overall images only because their home is filled with more natural light. So to ensure everyone gets GREAT newborn images to cherish, I have opened up my home to you.
Although my home overall is a bit smaller, I have two front windows that draw in large amounts of natural lighting (one of which is very large and low for some back lit window images, YAY!), as well as a large floor space to hold sessions. Another great perk is that you will have access to ALL my newborn props. Any newborn photographer knows that your supply of blankets, wraps, backdrops, baskets, bonnets, hats, headbands, etc will continue to grow and grow and grow.... as long as business continues. So transporting everything is near impossible! I hate having to limit someones options. Now, coming to my home studio, you can pick and choose any blanket, wrap, basket, etc you would like me to use! Awesome, right?!! Plus, no more worrying about travel charges!! Yay!
I do understand that some cases do require mommy to stay at home and not travel, so in these rare cases, I will continue to offer on-location newborn session for an extra fee. This does pay for all the extra work that I do have to do for newborn session traveling: pulling props, loading, unloading, assembling, disassembling, etc. Traveling does take at least an extra hour of time for all the set up and trips to load and unload, so I hope you understand why this option does have an extra charge. I will also need to make sure you do have a room in your home with enough space for a set up that has plenty of natural light coming in.
Studio sessions will have drinks and snacks provided. I do have a 2 year old, so there will be PLENTY of toys for kids to play with, as well as a big-screen TV and lots of movies to keep the older kids busy while they wait! Mom will get a checklist prior to their session so they will know what to bring with them to the session. And I do have a diaper changing pad and plenty of wipes that are available during the session. So I hope everyone can come over and relax and just have fun during their session with me! I'm very excited for all these new changes and I hope you are too!
