As a Dallas area newborn photographer one of my very favorite things about my job is getting to document brand new babies first days in the world. Babies grow so quickly and change so fast and capturing this time when they are so tiny is so special.
Naturally with the Covid-19 pandemic we’ve had some questions about how newborn sessions will look now that we are allowed to reopen and safety precautions we are taking. I’m hoping this q&a post can answer some of the most common questions we have had and make clients feel comfortable bringing their little ones to the studio!
Is the studio open for newborn sessions?
Yes! We were allowed to (safely) start taking newborn sessions again last week! While safety was always a priority for us, we have taken some additional measures to ensure we keep everyone healthy!
What new safety measures are put into place?
For the entire session, my assistant and I will both wear masks. We have masks in the studio for parents as well and ask that they wear them too. We’ve limited studio sessions to immediate family only and will only photograph one newborn a day so that we can sanitize and clean after each session. All clients must sign a waiver that they haven’t exhibited any Covid-19 symptoms and are healthy for the session. All items are washed after each session and surfaces cleaned.
What if my pediatrician doesn’t want us to leave the house when the baby is brand new?
No problem at all! Most newborn photographers suggest scheduling your session for the first two weeks after the birth. This is for good reason as this is when babies are still sleepy during the day and flexible for posing. The good news though is that while that is a recommendation we can most definitely still photograph your baby at older age! We’ve had great success with babies that are even 8 and 9 weeks old.
