Full newborn photography session and one hour wrapped newborn session comparison

A question asked often is what’s the difference between a full newborn photography session and a wrapped newborn photography session?  A full newborn session includes posed newborn photography, portraits in props and family newborn photography.   This requires much more time at the session, experience and skill in posed newborn photography and time after the session editing In comparison to a wrapped newborn session.  A wrapped newborn session involves swaddling a newborn and placing them in back only positions for the entire session.  Our newborn short and sweet wrapped newborn session is just one hour in duration in comparison to a full newborn photography session which averages 3 – 4 hours.  Our short and sweet wrapped newborn photography session includes images of your baby placed in props in back only positions fully swaddled and does not include posed newborn photography or family newborn photography.  As a limited introductory offer, ONE family portrait is included in our wrapped one hour newborn photography session for bookings secured by the 31st July 2019 only.

Posed newborn photography full session inclusions:

  • Studio session between 3 – 4 hours including re-settling and top-up feeds.  Full newborn photography is a permanent product and open to babies up to four weeks with the understanding that less posed results can be expected for babies over 16 days old.
  • Posed Images of your baby.  Your baby is sculpted into the most beautiful posed positions in a minimalist way without props taking the attention away from your babies little details.  The photographer works on a posing surface specifically designed for newborn photography and to maximize a baby’s comfort. The photographer captures images of your baby unclothed and also incorporates flowing draped wraps, hair flowers and bonnets.
  • Images of your baby posed in a parents hands, on a parents arm, or in a sling.  These types of images are created using illusion and are a product of several images edited together to remove hands safely supporting a baby.  A professional newborn photographer who has been trained in posed newborn photography and safety will never ever actually suspend a newborn in mid-air or force a baby into a pose they are uncomfortable with.
  • Images of your baby in props (bowls, nests, beds, wreaths, rustic crates, buckets) posed into forward-facing poses (baby-led) and posed back laying positions both naked and semi wrapped to conceal the nappy.  Prop portraits also incorporate hair flowers, bonnets, backdrops, artificial flowers, accessories, prop layers, hand felted wool layers, soft unspun wool, blankets, wraps, lace and are styled in your preferred colours.
  • Sibling /Newborn Images
  • Mother/Newborn Images
  • Father/Newborn Images
  • Couple/Newborn images
  • Family portraits (2 adults and siblings)
  • Newborn session guide
  • Personalized and customized.  We provide you with a client questionnaire to design your session and follow this up with a one to one email communication and phone consultation. Tell us what colours you like,  the images in our portfolio you love and we plan and style the session around your own personal taste from our existing collection of props and accessories.
  • Editing. A greater amount of time is invested. The more newborn skin visible, the more editing required.  On average a gallery of 25 images can take over 16 hours to hand edit.  Newborn skin is not very flattering in that first month and does require work post-process to remove little skin flakes, baby acne, correct purple under the nose, correct red splotches, even out skin tones, reduce the appearance of jaundice and edit out hands supporting the baby in select poses.
  • A greater number of fully edited images are presented for you to choose from in a private online gallery or in person coupled with a print design consultation if you’ve chosen to invest in pro-printed fine art products rather than just digital images.
  • Optional Al a carte premium pro-printed fine art products are available to purchase separately or a customized package can be created for you
  • A full newborn photography session in 2019 is $490 and includes 15 high-resolution digital images (30 in total including the duplicate black and white version corresponding to your chosen colour selections) with 25 fully edited images to select from.
