You can list a color not shown in the image below, and I'll let you know if I have it.

If there are any colors you'd like to stay away from, please list them here.

/// PROPS ///

Each prop can be used for multiple poses. I choose the props and pose babies based on how they are most comfortable for their size, flexibility, and willingness to be posed, so your photos may look slightly different from the sample photos.

Please list one "must have" prop you would like to use for your session.

See the images below for all of my props.

Please list any props you would like to avoid using during the session.

You may bring one item from home to incorporate into your session if you'd like. If you are planning on bringing something, please describe it and any ideas you have for incorporating it:

Typical items families like to bring are a handmade or heirloom blanket or knitted hat.

/// POSING ///

My goal for newborn sessions is to photograph a content and comfortable baby in cute little poses that show off how tiny and flexible they are. Not all babies go into every pose, and I tailor my posing workflow during a session based on baby's cues, so I don't take requests for specific poses ahead of time. However, I do like to know which poses to avoid.

Would you like your baby to be photographed nude?

I only photograph babies nude when specifically requested on this form. Baby boys who have been circumcised must be totally healed (no use of gauze and vaseline) to be posed nude.

Yes

Are there any poses or wrapping styles you would like to avoid? If so, please describe:
