Please note that with all this said, newborn babies cannot be pushed or forced into positions where they are not comfortable.  We will do our best to fulfill your wishes with your baby's safety and comfort in mind first.

If siblings are included in the newborn session, we are going to take those images in the beginning. Please consider making arrangements for someone to pick up the siblings since the newborn session can last a little while, and it is important to have a quiet serene environment for the best newborn session.

We're so grateful that you chose us to photograph this most important time in your lives.  We cannot wait to meet you all and your new baby.
