too cute newborns

There is no better smell, then the way a newborn baby smells.  But, until they can invent a way to bottle up a baby's scent, the best way to remember those beloved first moments is to capture those tiny details with fine art photographs.  Those first few weeks seem to fly by and at too cute studios, we understand how important capturing this special time is.  It is something you will want to remember for years to come.

We know that getting out of the house with a newborn and sleep deprived mommy is not an easy task, which is why, in most cases, we will come to you! For you to be relaxed and not rushed is important to us, so just sit back and watch us work our magic! Sessions can last up to four hours, allowing plenty of time for feeding, changing, and cuddling between shots.  You can't rush a cranky baby!!

The ideal time to photograph a newborn is between 5-10 days of life.  During this time babies are still able to 'curl up' from when they were still in your belly.  Babies are also a lot more sleepy during the first weeks which helps us get the most desired poses and shots.  These two things are key for making the most memorable photographs.  After 10 days, newborns go through a growth spurt and much of our time would be spent feeding instead of taking photographs.

Since the first two weeks of your newborn's life goes by so quickly, we like to encourage expectant parents to contact us ahead of time.  These sessions are usually booked up to two months in advance.  Last minute scheduling can be done, but not always recommended for the risk of a full calendar.

too cute studios highly recommends the first year package if you are looking for a way to capture the entire first year experience.  Prices and packages can be found on the investment page.

Those tiny kicks and dancing movements are a precious feeling!  Though it may feel like your pregnancy is never-ending, your little lovie will be in your arms before you know it! But before the arrival, how will you remember the way you looked? Don't get me wrong, you probably feel like a giant circus tent or that there should be a beeping noise when you go to sit down.  But that glowing skin, that nervous/excited smile on your face, or the way your loved ones look at you in that very special way.  Capturing this moment in your life is a perfect way to preserve that je ne sais pas feeling!

too cute belly portrait sessions can be booked anywhere you prefer; park, at your house, fair grounds, beach, there are so many different options! The main focus of this shoot is of course your growing belly, however you significant other, as well as your other children (fur children included) are more than welcome to tag along and join in on the fun! They are apart of of this experience too! The optimal time for your too cute belly portraits are scheduled between 30-36 weeks of your pregnancy, but can be scheduled all the way up to your due date.

too cute belly portraits and too cute newborn sessions can be purchased as a gift for the expecting mother. Not only are the too cute studio gift certificates a great shower gift, but it's something that can be cherished forever.
