Newborn photography is a funny process of creation and emotional exchange and a unique experience for a family. 

Newborn Portraits Q&A

  1. How long is the photo shoot? Photo shoots for newborn and immediate family in studio that typically lasts 2 hours. Attempt to schedule your session around your infant's nap and feeding routine. If possible, feed your infant prior to leaving from home. This will allow their little tummies to settle and reduce spitting up and fussiness.

  2. When will my photo shoot take place? We typically photograph all babies on their first full day at the hospital. It is also possible for your shoot to take place on the day before discharge. Generally, we do not take photos on the day of discharge unless there is a medical reason for the delay. I can also go to your home and my studio in Marietta is also an option.

  3. My husband won't return to the hospital until late in the day. Can the session be done then? We always encourage husbands and siblings to participate if they are available at the time of the shoot, but we may not be at the hospital late in the day. We will try to accommodate you as much as our schedule permits.

  4. Should we bring a special blanket? We absolutely encourage you to bring a favorite baby blanket or afghan from home to use in the shoot. A beautiful blanket can add texture, color and memories to your newborn's photos. However, you will have Access to photographer's newborn props

  5. How can I prepare for the shoot? We love to include mom and dad's hands in our photos. Wear clear or neutral nail polish on the day of your shoot. Distracting jewelry should be removed; your baby should be the focus of the photos. Bring a dark-colored shirt to wear in the photos; we may photograph your baby in your arms and solid/dark colors look great in both color and black-and-white prints.

  6. My baby is in the NICU, can I still have a photo shoot? Yes, let your nurse know you are interested in Hoenshel Photography pictures and sign the consent form. The session will be completed when the nurse tells us the baby is ready for pictures.

After the session

2 days after the shoot you will receive a link to a photo gallery. You will receive a flash drive in the mail within about a week.
