"Sim is such a beautiful person inside and out and her photography is just the same! She shot our maternity portraits (literally the day before I went into labor!) and also our newborn portraits. The process was so easy and comfortable and it was like we had known her forever! She played and had conversations with my 5 year old while I had to stop and feed the baby and she was so patient and kind to us! You can tell this is her true passion in life! I am more than thrilled with how the pictures turned out and can not wait to get them printed and hung! Thank you Sim! We miss you already!!!

Common Questions about your Newborn Session

Q

&

A

Go ahead and book your newborn session when you're 20 weeks pregnant to ensure your slot doesn't fill up. 

When is the best time to book my newborn session?

I aim to photograph your newborn around 1-3 weeks old. However, older newborns are definitely allowed! It can be so hard to get dressed up in those first weeks of life.

When is the newborn session scheduled for?

It never hurts to ask! If I can squeeze you in, I absolutely will. Your baby changes so much this first year, I don't want you to miss a thing!

What if I've missed these dates to schedule my newborn's session?

I send you a style guide the moment you book with plenty ideas on how to dress you, your baby, and your partner! You're welcome to use any of my Client Closet dresses.

What do we wear?

Everyone in the family is allowed! Bring grandparents if you like! Photography is a luxury, and I'm not going to tell you that only certain family members are allowed to participate.

Are older siblings allowed?

Newborns cry. We're not on a schedule, so you have plenty of time to let baby nurse and fall back asleep before we continue. 

What if baby is crying?

I don't put time limits on my sessions, but newborn sessions by far take the longest because we stop and give baby breaks to nurse as they need. 

How long is a newborn photography session?

I help you plan your newborn photoshoot

Spend Quality Family Time Together

Cherish the moments

I guide you through a family date, so you're actually bonding and spending quality time together instead of coercing your kids to pose. I come prepared with age appropriate games for your children, so they’ll have a great time!

As soon as you book, we schedule a time to talk about your vision for your session. We discuss outfits for your family, photoshoot location options around Amsterdam, and how you want to display your heirloom art. You have complimentary access to my client closet as well as my styling guide in your inbox! 

Once your newborn gallery is complete, we sit back down together to walk through your framing and album choices. My little boys love looking at albums of themselves and hearing stories about when they were babies, so this might just be my favorite part!
