While capturing precious memories of your newborn, you shouldn’t feel nervous or stressed! Read how I’m implementing safety measures for your newborn photoshoot in response to COVID-19.

Just like any business, my photography studio was closed for several weeks during the COVID-19 pandemic. Even when I was allowed to open, the number of portrait sessions I could book was limited. As a mother of two, with my kids learning virtually, my business, unfortunately, had to take a pause.

I was so excited when I could finally resume business on a limited basis, but reopening required thoughtful planning of safety measures. My client’s and my family’s health are my top priority. I have made sure to implement a new protocol (advised by the WHO and the CDC) that I still continue with each and every session. You can read the full protocol of what safety measures to expect during your session here.

Newborn Photoshoot Safety Protocol

This is Adam, 9 days new at the time of this shoot. This sweet little smile on his face makes my heart melt, and I was so honored to photograph him! Adam’s mom was actually referred to me by a past client who happened to be her cousin. Watching families grow is truly the best!

Throughout the newborn photoshoot, I was prepared to address any of their concerns related to COVID-19 and their health. I’m sure that having a baby during the Pandemic must have brought some extra nervousness, but I wanted to make sure they experienced all of the joy of their newborn photoshoot. I wore a face mask and increased handwashing and sanitizing during the session, which I still do today despite being fully vaccinated.

Another service that I love to offer, but had to modify in an effort to limit personal contact, is meeting with the family to view their photos. This can be done via Zoom instead of at an in-person appointment now. We will also design the products, such as a wall gallery and a custom heirloom album that will be treasured for years to come.

Custom-Designed Heirloom Album

Here’s a sneak-peek of the heirloom photo album that Adam’s parents and I designed. It includes a custom photo cover, and the prints are mounted flush to a 1/16″ board. This gives it a solid feel and a high-end look. The pages are lay-flat, so the photographs aren’t distorted by the bindings or creased by the hinge. A custom-designed signature album is the best way to showcase all of your favorite images from your session!
