"I first hired Albena to do my son's newborn photos. I looked at dozens of photographers and just loved her style and aesthetic. It's soft, natural, and captures the babies' sweet nature and the dynamic of the new family. We treasured these photos so I knew I had to book Albena to do our second baby's newborn photos. We love the second set of photos just as much!
Albena is a dream to work with. Communication is easy and she got the photos back to us within a week. She is incredibly warm and easy to talk to. We immediately felt comfortable around her and she really knows how to comfort a newborn. We learned some pretty neat tricks from her on how to soothe our babies."
THE sESSION details
When to book a Newborn Session?
The best time to book your Newborn session is in the second trimester. I limit the number of sessions that I schedule per month to ensure that I can be available for my newborn clients and I can give the best service I can, so book as early as you can!
I don’t know when my baby will be born. How does this work?
When you schedule a Newborn Session, I put your name in my calendar for a tentative booking date during the baby’s first 2 weeks. Once your baby is born we get in touch to set a date and time for the actual session that works for everyone.
What is the best age for Newborn photos?
The best age for Newborn photos is between 5 and 14 days after birth. Usually at this age, they are still ‘curly’ and sleepy, and colic and baby acne has not yet come into play.
.
What if my baby is “older”?
In these first days, babies change and grow so fast, but even if they no longer fit into your palms and some poses may not be possible, beautiful images still are.
How to plan for the session?
After setting a date, we will go over all the details of the session and we will cover all questions you may have. Whatever your needs are, we’ll be sure to encompass the perfect plan just for you! Be sure to share your vision with me and to create an inspiration pin board at Pinterest.
Where are the sessions held?
Newborn sessions are held in the comfort of your home.
We will need to be in the room with most natural light.
How long is a Newborn Session?
A Newborn Session typically lasts 1 to 3 hours, depending the type of images you want and on the baby. If your little one is sleepy the entire time, the session can be shorter; however, sessions can be longer if a baby is awake and fussing and you are interested in having styled/posed images.
Can my older children and parents be in the photos?
The focus of a Newborn Session is the new baby; however, I always encourage older siblings and parents to be in some of the images and those tend to be everyone’s favorites.
What to wear?
I love working with light and organic colors and to use unique types of textures as accents. I bring along bunch of props and accessories you can choose from for the style images of your baby. When it comes to your clothing, I highly encourage my clients to choose pieces that have simple and natural color. I think there is nothing more beautiful than a neutral session with the focus being on your baby.
What is included in a Photo Session Package?
The Newborn Session Packages are designed to keep things simple and easy. The Base Package starts at $900 and includes the time of the session and 25 high resolution digital images for download.
When can I see the images?
Two weeks after the session, you will be invited to view your password protected online gallery, which will be active for two weeks. During this time, you can choose your favorite images, as well as make any print/canvas orders.
Do I get the digital images?
Yes, the Newborn package comes with your selection of 25 digital images. You can also upgrade your package and purchase additional digital images.
.
What can I do with my digital images?
You can use and print your digital images for personal use, anywhere you like. However, I can recommend some trusted professional labs or you can take advantage of the option to purchase prints directly from your gallery. This is the best way to protect your investment, and the only way I can guarantee quality and color.
.
Are there any hidden costs after the session?
No! The session fee is all you need to pay. You have the option to purchase additional digital images, prints/canvases, and photo books, but you are under no obligation to do so.
