Thank you so much for signing up for my casting call! These sessions are crucial to guide photographers safely through the skills and tools required to become a master newborn photographer and I'm thrilled that you have offered to help out. To ensure the comfort and safety of your baby during this session, I will be the only photographer to handle your baby. My style is very natural and authentic so we won't be performing any uncomfortable poses and I'll be keeping any disturbance to baby an absolute minimum.
Usually the session will be 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours during which time I'll position the baby comfortably on the beanbag, wrapped in a swaddling cloth and I'll demonstrate the angles that the photographers should be aware of. If other photographers are present they will then photograph the baby and will receive guidance from me. Or alternatively I may be filming parts of the session for video tutorials. I'll flow through short routine of positions with the baby and may ask you to come and be part of a few shots.
As a thank-you for your time you'll be able to download your 5 favourite images from the session.
Please note that this will not be a full session.

When you arrive I will ask you to undress your baby, leaving the nappy on (at first). Ideally you will have already fed your little one just before you left the house so we should be able to get started straight away.
The studio is kept very very warm to keep baby settled. Please remember to come dressed for the tropical environment and also with a change of clothes for you, as sessions can get "messy".
On that note...! There is a very high chance that your baby will, at some point make a little (or a lot) of mess! Please trust me when I say this is completely normal and no problem for me at all. It's all part of the job!
*Whilst my goal is to meet and exceed all your portrait expectations for the session, my priority is your baby's comfort and well being. I never make a baby pose in position that is uncomfortable or unsafe, all my poses are natural and organic. From time to time baby will wake up during posing and may make a little noise, this is usually just because they are disturbed and would like to go back to sleep. I quickly settle them down and continue, however if baby is showing that they need a little more comfort than I can provide I'll pass them back to you for an extra feed.
