Introducing Huck, the newest member of Christine and Josh's family, born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. As they welcome their little one, they're also getting ready for those special newborn photos. In the chilly Saskatchewan winter, when families spend most of their time indoors, capturing these early moments becomes even more meaningful.

The newborn stage is a fleeting but precious time in a family's life. It's filled with cuddles, sleepless nights, and a lot of love—a time worth remembering and cherishing forever. And during the winter months, when it's too cold to go outside, indoor newborn sessions offer the perfect opportunity to capture these moments in the comfort of home.
Getting ready for a newborn photoshoot can feel overwhelming, but I am are here to help. I suggest keeping things simple and relaxed—there's no need to stress about cleaning every corner of the house. Just focus on creating a cozy atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable. **Keep scrolling to get tips on how to prep yourself and your home for your at home newborn session!**

**LIGHTING**: When it comes to lighting, practicality is key. You don't need a fancy setup with lots of natural light. A bit of rearranging and finding the right spot in your home can make all the difference. Be mentally prepared that I might ask if we can move a few things around your house… just to make space in the most ideal light. Don’t hesitate to tell me if you’d rather keep this or that in it’s place!
**OUTFITS:** There are two types of people. People who know what to wear, and people who don’t. JUST KIDDING! Even when I get photos done, I ask the photographer what they think of my outfit to ensure it’s a good fit with the vibe. When I arrive at your home, it's helpful to lay out some outfit options for baby and talk about what you want from the outfit coordination. Communication is key to making sure everyone is on the same page and that the photos reflect your family's personality and style! I’ll help you choose an outfit and if we do an outfit change, all the better.

**TIMING:** I want to encourage you to take your time and be patient with your newborn during the session. Whether it's feeding, changing diapers, or simply cuddling to soothe them, please know that I am here to accommodate your needs. We can take breaks as needed and adjust the schedule to ensure that your baby is happy and content throughout the process.
I understand that newborns operate on their own schedule, and I am more than happy to work around their needs. Whether they need a little extra time to settle or a moment to feed, I am here to support you every step of the way. Flexibility is key, and I am committed to creating a relaxed and stress-free environment for you and your baby.

As you hold your newborn photos in your hands, I want you to feel an overwhelming sense of love and joy wash over you. I want these images to transport you back to that once-in-a-lifetime moment when your baby was brand new to the world and you were navigating the rollercoaster of emotions that come with parenthood.

I want you to remember the feeling of pure happiness mixed with a hint of fear as you gazed into your baby's eyes for the first time. I want you to recall the exhaustion that came from sleepless nights and endless diaper changes, but also the indescribable bond that grew stronger with each passing day.

As you flip through the pages of your newborn photos, I want you to see more than just pictures—I want you to see the love that radiates from every smile, the tenderness in every touch, and the sheer joy that comes from being a parent. These photos are a testament to the incredible journey you've embarked upon together as a family.
