The Today Show interview with one of my mentors – Gainesville Florida Newborn Photographer

I was so excited to see one of my photographer mentors being interviewed on The Today Show this morning.  Kelly is one of the best newborn photographers in the business and I have learned so much from her. There’s a lot that goes into a newborn session to capture those adorable sleepy poses. One of the key elements to insure a successful newborn session is to keep the area WARM. How do you know when it’s warm enough? When you are in shorts and you are starting to sweat and feel uncomfortable – that’s when it’s perfect. Many of my clients either don’t want to turn their home into a sauna (usually family is in town staying with mom to help out) or they don’t know how warm to make it – so that is why I created a special “Newborn Studio” in my home.  My studio ensures that the room is going to be warm enough and allows me to take advantage of plenty of natural light  - that is needed to capture those precious, curled up poses. My Newborn Sessions are scheduled during the week only between 10-1. I am usually booked 3 weeks in advance. So that is why it is is so important that you contact me while you are still pregnant to schedule your newborn session so I can pencil in your due date in my calendar. I only take a limited number of newborn sessions a month in order for me to personalize each session  -so please contact me  while you are still pregnant (7th month is perfect). I realize babies are not born on their due date –  but by penciling in your due date I can better prepare my schedule for the month and not overbook. You need to CALL me as soon as the baby is born so we can confirm the photo session.

Enough rambling. Below is the link to view the interview. It’s only a few minutes but very informative…and the sleeping babies are soooo cute!
