Newborn Photography- Frequently asked questions and faqs

When should I book my newborn session? You can book your newborn session as early as you like! But please do so before 30 weeks along in your pregnancy so I can be sure to find you a spot! 

  How do you know when to schedule a newborn session? And how old should baby be? I like to take your due date and set the potential newborn session date for 5 days after the set due date. I realize babies arrive on their own time usually so I am pretty flexible and leave space open before and after that time to make sure we can adjust as needed. I like to get babys in before they are 10 days old because they are still flexible, poseable and sleepy enough to get through the newborn portraits as smoothly as possible! 


  Were will the newborn session take place? I do all newborn portraits here in my studio in Choteau Mt were all my supplies and equipment is easily accessed. 

  Do I need to bring my own props? Accessories? No you do not! That’s why your choosing to hire a professional! I have countless props and accessories for your newborn portraits to provide you with the best experience and professional results! Can you bring your own prop? Yes if you have something of sentimental value you would like incorporated into a shot I can make that happen.

  Can I or any of my other children perhaps be in any shots? Yes! While I like to keep the focus of a newborn session on the newborn I have no problem including a shot of mama, dad and baby or sibling (s) and baby! However if the sibling is of toddler age keep in mind these sessions are lengthy and can be very hard for a little one to sit through! So make sure you can bring along a helper to keep the little one entertained. 

  If I want to be in some of the shots with baby and siblings and baby, what should we wear? I personally would recommend light neutral colors with solid or less print as possible this keep things simple sweet and soft without getting baby lost in the sea of colors and prints! 

  Can the newborn session be done in my home? Yes and no.. If I were to do it in your home we would be looking at the fresh 48 session which is more of your photojournalistic or lifestyle session I would not bring along any props or accessories and it would all be done with what is available in your home with little to no posing. if you want more info on the fresh 48 session please ask and I will explain. Soo.. yes with a fresh 48 session.. and no with the newborn session. 

 What is the best way to contact you to setup my newborn session? I would say to contact me through my email angelasimages@hotmail.com you will likely receive a quicker response so that im not waiting for my children to go to bed so I can hear over the phone. It will also allow me to easily attach my pricing and policies and information for you to review. 



During the session the studio is kept at 85 degrees so babys stay warm , cozy and content. So during our cooler months around here wear layers, your gonna want to take a few off to get comfortable! 

 When you arrive for your session I am happy to take baby off your hands and get them stripped down and settled for the beginning of their newborn portraits. Unless of course he/she is in need of a feeding first! 

 I like these sessions to be relaxing and somewhat of a break for parents , so I want you to prepare to just sit back and relax and watch your babys first professional portraits in the making!
