As a mother and photographer (both for Bella Baby Photography and her own business), Vicki has designed the entire NEWBORN AND MILESTONE LIFESTYLE EXPERIENCES around your needs as a new mother and in the comfort of your own home. Having photographed more than 3500 newborns for Bella Baby in some of Columbus' local hospitals as well in her own business, she knows how important it is for you to feel relaxed during your time together whether it's a few weeks fresh or moving into the milestone moments. You can choose to participate and remain close during your baby's portrait session, or sit back and relax. Vicki will pamper your newborn in a safe, comfortable environment that is kept cozy warm – perfect for sweet dreams.
Choose Your Experience.
The Full Newborn Experience can run up to 3 hours giving plenty of time for you and your baby to take breaks as needed for soothing and nursing. Capture a beautiful collection of lifestyle and artistically styled images of your newborn from sweet smiles and big yawns down to little bitty toes, squishy cuddles, and loving moments in the comfort of your own home.
The Lifestyle Moments Experience can run up to 1.5 hours and is designed to tell your story just as it is at this precise moment. Real, authentic, and emotional beauty of your family in sweet everyday interactions you won't want to forget as your little one grows and changes. Think about moments in the nursery, bassinet or crib shots, bathing or nursing, family cuddle time along with some sweet swaddle images as well.
The Grow With Me Experience is the perfect follow-up to your Newborn Session. This experience captures all your favorite milestones as your newborn grows and changes in this four 1-hour series collection. You choose your milestones (e.g. 3, 6, 9, and 12 months) and then curate a collection to showcase these moments in timeless artwork you will forever cherish.
Timing.
Newborns are best photographed between 5 and 10 days old when they are sleepiest and flexible enough to get into those cute newborn positions. We will pencil in your due date, then schedule the actual session shortly after your baby arrives. Newborn sessions are ideally scheduled for mornings, as availability allows.
A few weeks after your newborn or milestone session, you’ll be invited in for your PREMIERE. This highly anticipated event is where Vicki will unveil your finished images for the first time! During the Premiere, you and your family will receive VIP access to our specially-priced menu of artwork options. At your Premiere, we'll also help you select your favorite images and begin to design your curated artwork collection.
Newborn Sessions are priced separately from Print and Digital Collections.
