The Experience

what to expect

 

scroll

They grow up so fast, and you don't want to forget a single thing. The way they curl right into you, their sweet newborn smell, the little coos they make, knowing they are safe and loved. That little swirl of hair, teeny tiny fingernails, and the adorable expressions.

 

As your Durham Region Oshawa newborn photographer, I aim to document this precious time in your life in a natural and beautiful way. I love to photograph both asleep and awake poses if babe allows, and family and sibling images are included in every newborn session. As they grow, they will love seeing themselves in your arms, and you'll always remember just how tiny they were in those first couple of weeks (they go by in a blur!)

 

To make things as easy as possible for you, I provide nearly everything needed for your session, whether in-studio or outdoors, and you'll receive a prep guide to walk you through the details prior to your session.

 

You can relax knowing your babe is in good hands. I have over 15 years of experience as a professional photographer. I have also been trained in newborn posing safety by one of the leading experts who is also a physiotherapist, and I am CPR certified.

You don't need to worry about a thing!

The Process

1. let's chat

Fill out the contact form and we'll chat about what you're looking for in your newborn session. Will you feature these images on a gallery wall, in an heirloom album that can be passed along to your little when they're grown?

 

We'll schedule your newborn session for when baby is about 8-12 days, and plan details like location and wardrobe. Don't worry if babe isn't born right on your due date, we can adjust as needed, with no rescheduling fees for early or late babies.

 

The agreement form and retainer fee will hold your date and time for you.

2. Your session day

Your newborn session day!

 

After you arrive at my Oshawa newborn studio, we start with some snuggly sibling and family photos, and then you get to sit back and relax in the client lounge area while I take photos of your new baby on their own.

 

Enjoy a hot coffee (decaf available too) and a snack or catch up on emails and messages while you oooh and awww over the adorable images being created in front of you! You'll have full view of the entire session so your little one is never out of site.

 

3. gallery reveal and ordering

We'll set a time to view your images about 1-2 weeks after your session.

 

Sit back and enjoy a beautiful slideshow, and then we'll go through and select your favourites to include in your album, or display on your wall, and the ones you'll receive in digital format for sharing and making your own prints for friends and family.

 

Most clients upgrade their collection or add on additional items after seeing their images and all the options in-person!

Tara is incredibly talented. She has done maternity and newborn photos for us and I could not be happier with them. She was so gentle and calming with our son and she was able to capture the most amazing photos of him. We will be using her for any future photo sessions and definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer.

FAMILY NEWBORN SESSION

To say I am not comfortable in front of a camera is an understatement. I usually delete about 99.9% of all pictures taken of me. Not only did Tara make my family and I feel comfortable during our session, but I loved pretty much every picture she took, and displayed them in our house! She captured our family perfectly down to my daughter's crazy personality. The pictures were just stunning and I can't thank her enough. I will absolutely be asking her to take pictures for us again.

WHITBY FAMILY SESSION

2 - Stef and John

We did our Maternity and Newborn photoshoots with Tara and I'm so glad we did! The photos are INCREDIBLE! We couldn't narrow down our favourites so we ended up purchasing all of them. She made us feel super comfortable which is reflected in the photos. She was so good with my newborn son, I actually learned soothing techniques from her! We also purchased an album and custom frame and are so happy with the quality, I cried when I saw it.

I have been looking for a Photographer to shoot long overdue family photos for a while now. I am so delighted to have found Tara! Professional, quick to respond and incredibly talented. Her stunning backdrops, lighting and the special moments she captures are nothing short of dreamy. When I first saw the Lavender Field photos of my little one, I cried. Truly magical! Tara really knows how to make children feel relaxed and confident. Thank you again, Tara!

We hired Tara to do our newborn photography for our first born and I couldn't be happier! From the first time I visited her website I fell in love with her style and couldn't wait to have photos of my own. Tara was professional and did everything possible to provide a safe environment in which we could gather. You can see she is very passionate and even gets excited over the photos she captures. Thank you so much Tara for capturing this moment in time for us! You'll definitely be seeing us again!

We were so impressed with Tara during our newborn baby shoot. She is an absolute baby whisperer and was able to capture some amazing shots, even when our baby was having a bit of a fussy day! She took a lot of time to make sure she captured lots of adorable images of our little guy. We would definitely hire Tara again.

The Durham Newborn Studio

In the Stevenson and Rossland area of Oshawa, my home studio is located in our bright walkout basement (though you will enter the house through the front door). The studio is kept nice and warm for baby's comfort, and we usually begin with family photographs, and baby with mom and dad individually. After that you get to sit back and relax. Make yourselves cozy in the client lounge as I photograph your sweet baby. You'll have full view of everything and can move around the space. I may ask you to assist in spotting your babe if an extra set of hands is needed for safety.

 

Making it Easy

The studio is stocked with the following, to make things as easy as possible for you:

  • seating area for parents within the studio area
  • changing table stocked with Honest Company newborn diapers and wipes
  • nursing pillow and cover available
  • hot water available for warming bottles
  • water, coffee, and snacks (often GF/DF options are available too)
  • lots of receiving blankets
  • bathroom with artificial-scent-free soap, and hand sanitizer
  • Blankets, wraps, headbands, bonnets, and other props and accessories are all provided

 

Peace of Mind

  • the studio is in my smoke-free, artificial scent-free, and pet-free home
  • all fabrics (backdrop blankets and wraps) that touch baby during the session are washed in a non-toxic, plant-based laundry soap, even if they aren't soiled, so they are fresh for every session
  • we do not use any aerosol air fresheners or cleaning products containing artificial fragrances in my studio
  • I am trained in newborn safety and CPR certified

I can't wait to work with you!
