When to book a newborn photography session?

BEFORE BABY ARRIVES

N

BOOK NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY IN ADVANCE

Once your baby is born, you’ll have a lot on your mind, and selecting a newborn photographer might not be the first thing on your list.

N

DUE DATE

I will add your estimated due date to my calendar and once your little one arrives we will schedule your newborn photography session within two weeks after birth.

N

GUARANTEED SPOT

I only book a few sessions a month so my calendar is very flexible. Even if the baby arrives before or after your due date we will find a date and time that work for both of us.

IT’S NEVER TOO LATE

What if my baby is already born?

Babies from 2 weeks up to 6 weeks old are welcome considering a few things

Get ready to capture the cutest and most precious moments of your newborn! The best time to schedule a newborn photoshoot session is within the first two weeks after birth when your little one is still super sleepy and curly, and we can capture all those adorable poses you’ve been dreaming of. With my expert skills and creativity, we’ll create stunning images that will take your breath away.

But hey, even if your baby has already arrived, don’t panic! I’m always happy to accommodate last-minute openings and capture beautiful photos of your little one, even if they’re a bit older. We can still get some amazing awake and wrapped shots that you’ll treasure forever.

And the best part? I’ve got you covered with a complete set of props and accessories, so you don’t have to worry about a thing. And if you want to include some family shots, we’ll make sure to capture those at the beginning of the session.

Missed the newborn window? No problem at all! I also offer baby sessions for babies from 3 months old and up. Let’s create some more amazing memories together!

Pre-Consultation

A custom photo shoot starts with a plan and I’d love to hear your ideas! During your in-person or online consultation, we will discuss all your goals and preferences for the photography session, colours, poses, wardrobe and how you can display your portraits in your home.

My goal is to capture exactly what YOU love.

The Photoshoot

Relax and have fun! After our pre-consultation, I have everything that I need to create the session of your dreams. When you arrive for the newborn  photo shoot, parents’ and siblings’ shots will be done first so everyone can relax while I finish the session with individual shots of the baby.

Baby will also have fussy moments, and that is just fine. You won’t be rushed through your photo session, and we will have plenty of time to cuddle, change, feed and relax your little one. A newborn photography session can take up to three hours and we will respect all needs of your baby.

This is the 3rd time we have used Amanda for our kids’ photoshoots. Amanda is extremely professional, very patient and handles your newborn with such care. Each time our photos have turned out absolutely amazing and she provides such a good variety of shots.  Can’t recommend Amanda enough and we know we will be back for more family photo sessions.

Questions?

How do I book my newborn photo session?

Ready to book a dream photo session for your newborn baby? Drop us an email and let us know what you’re interested in and when you’d like to schedule. We can’t wait to hear from you and start planning your amazing photo shoot!

Will I receive all the images from my photo session?

You’ll have the exciting task of choosing how many stunning images from the newborn photography session you want to take home with you. With our amazing collections, you can choose from 10, 25, 40 images or even more – the possibilities are endless!

We know it can be hard to choose, but don’t worry – we’ll be there to guide you every step of the way. Together, we’ll create a package that perfectly suits your needs and captures your memories in a way you’ll treasure forever.

How much editing do you do?

At Amanda Dams Photography, we believe in creating images that are as close to perfect as possible! That’s why every single photo we take receives special treatment. We’ll apply colour corrections, light touch-ups, and a light skin smoothing layer, ensuring that each image looks stunning and true to life.

But we’re not just limited to basic retouching – if you need something more specific, we’ve got you covered. Our team is skilled at advanced retouching techniques, and we’re happy to work with you to create the perfect image.

How long does it take until I can view my images?

We’ll schedule your View&Order appointment within just 1 or 2 weeks of your session, where you’ll get to see all your amazing newborn images and choose your favourite prints.

It may take up to 4 weeks to complete the editing process, but trust us, it’s worth the wait!

Where will my session take place?

All newborn and baby sessions take place at my Beltline photography studio at

203-822 11 Ave SW
Calgary AB
T2R 0E5

*Free parking available while you’re at the photography session

When should I book my newborn photography session?

It is very important to schedule your photo session before the baby arrives! I will add your due date to my calendar and once your little one arrives we will schedule your newborn photography session between 5-14 days.

My baby is already born. Is it too late to schedule a newborn photography session?

No! While I generally book newborn photo sessions many months in advance, I sometimes have last-minute openings. I recommend that newborn photo sessions take place within the first two weeks of life, but I am always happy to photograph older newborns with the understanding that it may not be possible to achieve the type of images that work with a very young newborn.

What should I bring?

Diapers, wipes and milk. I provide everything else for the baby like wraps, blankets, props and accessories. 

What should I wear?

We will choose your outfits together during our in-home consultation, prior to the session.

What products do you offer?

Get ready to be blown away by the true treasure of your portrait session – custom portraits that will make your home absolutely shine! With so many options to choose from, including albums, print boxes, canvases, and fine art prints, the possibilities are truly endless. And the best part? I’ve partnered with one of the best professional labs in the world to make sure your photos are of the highest quality and will truly stand out in your home. Trust me, you won’t want to miss out on these stunning display options! Contact me now to get the full list of products and pricing – I can’t wait to hear from you!

How do I place an order?

Get ready for the ultimate personalized experience! During your View&Order appointment with me, which takes place just 1 or 2 weeks after your photo session, you’ll get to decide on the products and number of images that you absolutely love. It’s going to be a one-on-one meeting where we can really work together to bring your precious memories from your newborn photography session to life. Trust me, there’s no better way to materialize those magical moments than with stunning, personalized products that you’ll cherish for years to come.
