a little about choosing
A LOCATION
FOR YOUR SESSION
Your location plays a big role in the overall look and feel of your photos.
Think of it as the backdrop that sets the tone. It influences the color, the mood, and how everything comes together, including what you choose to wear.
Things to Consider
Not all locations are the same, so it’s helpful to think through what will work best for your family.
Some locations may include:
• A short walk or light hiking
• Taller grasses or uneven ground
• No nearby restrooms
• Occasional bugs or wildlife
• Affected by weather
When choosing a location, it’s important to consider everyone who will be attending your session and what will feel most comfortable for them.

There’s no perfect way to do the newborn stage. There’s just showing up, again and again.
Newborn days have a way of slowing everything down. The outside world keeps moving, but inside the home it’s all feeding, holding, and learning someone new.
It’s okay if these days feel like a lot. They are.
The images we surround ourselves with shape what we remember.
