Newborn

You're home now.

You're torso might be smaller, but your heart is a whole lot bigger.

You thought you knew what to expect but now that it's happened, you realize it's never what we expect. It's even better.

It's only been a few days, yet their eyes are already open more today than yesterday.

Their squished face is already starting to relax into the features they'll embrace for the next few years.

You wonder, "Will I remember  this?"

Let me join you in those intimate first two weeks. Let me quietly document your new arrival, your first attempts at breastfeeding, your favorite scrunched toes that you know you'll be kissing for as long as they'll allow. Let me document the small things you may soon forget as your life continues to unfold into the fairy tale you've ever wanted.

Note: I never want you to have to choose your favorite images and I never want to restrict the images I edit and place in your gallery. My style of photography results in a collection of images that speak to your families unique beauty and connection. You session fee includes the on location session experience, usually around an hour and all the high resolution digital files from your gallery to keep for life and print and use as you see fit. Sessions can take place in your home (always for newborn) or at one of the many beautiful outdoor locations Roanoke  has to offer. You will receive all the digital files, edited by me, from your session in both color and black and white, delivered by way of direct download. Your images will be displayed in a private online gallery for viewing, sharing, and optional a la carte print and canvas ordering. 

 

 

 

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Newborn Session

What is involved with a newborn session?

With Elizabeth Farnsworth Photography, you'll receive something a little different. Your baby will be treated like, well, a baby. You won't look back and remember this short season of life with your newborn propped on a flawless blanket or sitting in unrealistic positions. You'll remember the cradle your grandfather carved. You'll remember  the bed covered in endless blankets where you cuddled all afternoon long. You'll remember the rocking chair where you rocked your little for what seemed like weeks. 

Your newborn session will take place in your home. It will document the beauty of simplicity. My lifestyle newborn session will document the real life of having a newborn. I will find a room or two in your home where we will focus our time. Your session is 1-2 hours where I will document the intimacy of your new bond. If you'd like, we can document breastfeeding, swaddling, snuggling and siblings. The lifestyle session is focused on relationships and connections. This is the time we will capture first family photos all snuggled on the couch or bed with your newest little joy.

How many images will I receive?

You will receive over 75 images that are hand edited and delivered via an online viewing gallery. You will be able to directly download the images. USBs and prints will be available at an additional cost.

When should I book you?

As soon as possible! With newborn sessions, it is best to have your baby under two weeks old. Giving us your estimated due date gives the opportunity to leave open a window for your session after your baby arrives.

What should we wear? What about our home?

I've created a Pinterest board with clothing suggestions here. I suggest neutrals and soft tones which are timeless and won't clash with your newborn's delicate skin color.

You just had a baby. No one expects your home to look like a magazine! This is life we're capturing here. Raw. Real. I do suggest any clutter be tucked away for images, though. Especially on table tops, dressers and areas we'll likely include in the images.
