newborn session FAQ
Schedule your newborn session while you are still pregnant. I only take a limited amount of newborns per month. Most families secure their newborn session when they are on their second trimester.
The newborn photo session will be scheduled between 8-12 days old. Just know that babies older than 12 days tend to be more alert and awake during the session, so more wrapped and "unposed" photos will be done, if needed, limiting special requests for fine art images.
Not to worry. We use your due date as a baseline. Once the baby arrives, I kindly request to be notified within 24hrs with the weight, any medical conditions and circumcision date for boys. It is then that we will select the actual session date for your newborn session.
The Newborn Session takes place at my home-attached studio in Boca Raton. Sessions are Monday thru Friday at 10:00am. No sessions on weekends or holidays.
Yes! it is safe to do a newborn session with me. As a professional, and as a Mom, I take your baby's safety as paramount. I will never put them at risk, not in dangerous poses, not unsafe props, not in a dangerous environment. I am also up to date on all my vaccines, including Tetanus, Pertussis, Diphtheria Vaccine (Tdap). I wear a face mask during all newborn sessions and thoroughly sanitize my studio in between clients.
We will need to make sure we allow him at least 6 days of healing time before his session. If not done at birth, it is always best to schedule the procedure after the photo session, if at all possible.
Not at all! I provide everything for your session like soft blankets, headbands, hats and cute outfits and props. Prior to your session you will fill out a questionnaire and your session will be styled based on those answers.
Unfortunately, no. No pets are allowed into the studio for healthy/safety reasons.
While I enjoy looking at other photographer's work for inspiration, I cannot copy exactly someone else's work. That is their style, their creation and their art. I am hoping you are hiring me for my own style and creativity. Additionally, not every baby will do every pose and safety is my main concern.
Only the parents and siblings (if being photographed) should attend the newborn photography session for several reasons. We want to avoid traffic to the studio. There is limited sitting space. There is no need to bring your baby sitter/nurse either, as I will be with the baby most of the time. When too many people are present, it can stress the baby and we want a peaceful environment for him/her.
At the current moment and due to health precautions, Newborn Sessions are ONLY photos of the baby with parents/siblings depending on your package. No other family member photos will be taken.
Beautiful images can be captured at any stage. However, you should know that once beyond the 2 weeks old, I may not be able to get the baby to pose because they are more alert/awake and the session is more “unposed”. If you are sure you want specific poses, please ask about those during your pre-consultation. Premature babies are a different case because most likely I will base their session counting from their actual due date. I handle it on a case by case basis.
It is my policy that no unedited images or raw files will be given to clients for any reason.
In the event you need to reschedule your session, please contact me at least 72 hours in advance in order to transfer your retainer fee to the new date, otherwise, a new retainer is needed to reschedule.
The week after your session, you will see a proof gallery to select your favorite photos. Four weeks after making your selection, you will receive a link with your fully edited images. Products may take up to 6 weeks after your order is placed. All products are to be picked up at the studio.
The Hoang Family
"Her work is amazing! Everything from the photo shoot to the pictures were very professional and exquisite. She handled our little angel with such care and gentleness while getting all the angles and shots. Her setup is also excellent and high quality with all the tools for the photo shoot. And when the pictures came back man we were blown away on how wonderful they looked. We didn't mind spending the money because it is so worth it!"
The Infante Family
"I'm a first time mom and hired Angie for my newborn's photo session.
Being originally from the Miami area, I had no point of reference in the West Palm Beach area we recently moved to, and so was a bit nervous. Once I came across Blue Kite Photography, I instantly fell in love with Angie's style and work and went for it. Well, turns out I had absolutely nothing to be nervous about! Angie's professionalism and responsiveness, as well as her gentle handling with my baby were impressive and touching. My husband and I were very happy! Definitely worth the investment. Highly recommended!"
The Valle Family
"Angie is phenomenal! Our baby was premature and in the NICU past his scheduled due date, she was very accommodating to his situation. On top of that, she was so delicate and caring with our son during the shoot and produced beautiful photos and a beautiful photo album."
The Lehrer Family
"WOW!!! From start to the finished product everything is absolutely amazing... Angie is very responsive to questions and concerns we had before our session. During the session it was amazing watching her work, she had such a gentle touch with our little newborn... We loved the end results, the pictures speak for themselves."
The Urribarri Family
"Since the moment I hit my second trimester I knew one of the things I wanted to book was my newborn photographer. I found Blue Kite Photography on Instagram and I was blown away with her work. One of the best decisions I made was getting Angie to do the shoot. The photos came out perfect and I would use her service again when I have a second baby."
The Vogel-Senda Family
"Our family had an exceptional experience! Angie demonstrates professionalism and empathy during our newborn with family session. She has a gift when it comes to handling newborns that made us as parents feel at ease. I would highly recommend her services to anyone who wants quality photos."
