Design Consultation

My goal for you is to bring your vision for your newborn session to reality using beautiful poses, backdrops, accessories and more. During your consultation we'll discuss your overall vision for your session for your newborn and how you would like the newest member of your family to be photographed. We will discuss the session either through phone call, zoom or in person, we will plan on your wardrobe, backdrops, sets designs and more.

Photoshoot 

When you arrive at your photoshoot you will first be pampered with hair and makeup. I will then start posing your little one. Sessions can take time depending on how your newborn is sleeping & feeding. I will work with you and your family to chose the best poses for your newborn. I have props, lighting, backrops outfits and more so you do not need to bring anything.  Your session is crafted for you and your newborn.

The Newborn Experience

Your precious newborn only stays this little for a few weeks. In the blink of an eye they are crawling, walking, talking and then off to school. At Van Epps Photography we know how important it is to have these moments preserved for a lifetime. Thats why printed images are so valuable in this day of technology. After your newborn session you will have heirloom images with a lifetime guarantee.

Your newborn session experience starts here! Once you've completed the contact form, I will reach out to you either in 24-36 business hours. 

I will also send you information about how a newborn session flows and more. We will then have a short phone call to discuss your vision for your newborn's session. 

If you decide to move forward with a newborn session, we will then plan a date, and your session fee will be collected. 

1. Say Hello

Once your session fee has been collected we will then plan your perfect session. From colors to props, you and I will discuss all the ends and outs of your newborn session. We will then pick a date around your due date.

I typically only take a handful of newborns each month so it is advised to book early to guarantee a spot. Once your baby has been born, lease let me know so we can pick a day that works for you and your family to be photographed. Newborn sessions are normally photographed M-F during business hours. 

2. Schedule it

Before your newborn session you will receive a detailed prep guide that will prepare you and your newborn for the big day. When the day arrives you will come into the studio where a combination of poses on a newborn posing table and props will be done. The newborn session can take anywhere from 2-3 hours. 

Family members are welcome to attend the newborn session for siibling and family pictures.  

Once your session is completed, we will discuss your reveal and ordering appointment. 

3. the session

About a week after your session, we will have your reveal and ordering appointment. This is normally done via zoom, but I am happy to accommodate any needs for in person reveals. 

Your reveal appointment is where you will see your newborn portraits for the first time. Some images will be edited so you can envision what your final artwork will look like. You will also be able to purchase any heirloom artwork and pieces to display in your home. 

4. the reveal

After we finalize the retouching of your fine art images you will receive the digital copies in an online album. Please allow 2-3 weeks for digitals and 4-6 week for products and artwork. Specialty artwork like the guilded canvas may take longer. 

Once your heirloom artwork and images have been delivered I will check them over to test for any abnormalities. Once checked over, I will either deliver your products to you personally, or mail them to you. The are then yours to enjoy for your lifetime!

The session Details

She made me feel so comfortable, we laughed and had a blast during the entire shoot. Our maternity pictures are absolutely magical. The entire experience was dreamy, from the hair and make up, to picking our pictures out. Choose Van Epps photography! You will not be disappointed!
