Capturing the Wonders of Newborn Life – Your Baby’s Precious Moments Preserved!

At kyoS Photography, we believe that there’s nothing more enchanting than capturing the first few days or weeks of your newborn’s life. Welcoming a new addition to your family is an extraordinary journey, and we take immense pride in providing a one-of-a-kind experience, delivering breathtaking portraits that celebrate this joyous occasion.

To ensure we capture those incredibly heartwarming shots, we recommend scheduling your newborn session within the first 14 days (though we absolutely allow older babies). During this period, babies are most flexible and tend to sleep peacefully, allowing us to create those adorable, curled poses that make your session truly special. The sweet spot is typically Day 7, when your little one is still acclimating to the world and won’t mind being gently curled into those endearing positions. Safety is always our priority, and beyond those initial days, we won’t be able to achieve the same sleepy, posed shots, as your newborn will become more alert and active.

Choose from our three different types of newborn sessions, each carefully designed to suit your unique lifestyle and budget: the All-Inclusive Collection, the Petite Collection, and the Family Collection. While we accept babies up to 75 days old, we find that babies under 14 days old tend to be the most cooperative in achieving those exquisite newborn poses. Every newborn session is thoughtfully tailored to your baby and your family’s preferences. You’ll have the opportunity to discuss style, colors, props, and wardrobe with our experienced photographers.

For your convenience, all sessions take place in our professional studio, where we create a cozy and nurturing environment for you and your little one. You’ll have access to an area to feed and relax before and during the session, ensuring everyone’s comfort. We provide a wide range of props and wraps to enhance the portraits, but you’re more than welcome to bring any special items you’ve received, such as handmade blankets or personalized gifts.

During the session, we understand that newborns require extra patience and care. There may be frequent pauses to feed or change sets or positions as we follow their schedule, guaranteeing a stress-free and gentle experience for your precious bundle.

Once the session is complete, you’ll schedule a reveal session approximately one week later. This special appointment allows you to view all of your images from the comfort of your home over Zoom and choose from a variety of artwork, images, or packages that perfectly capture the essence of your new bundle of joy. Rest assured, our expert team will dedicate ample time to edit and perfect these portraits, ensuring they become timeless keepsakes for you and your family.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve adapted our studio practices to prioritize the safety and health of all our clients and staff. We ask that if you or anyone attending the photo session has been sick in the past 7 days, please let us know so we can help you to reschedule your appointment. We would much prefer to err on the side of caution regarding sicknesses. Our surfaces and props are diligently sanitized between all sessions, so we request you avoid unnecessary touching.

Here are our tips for a successful newborn photoshoot 

    • Please plan to arrive at least 15 minutes early with the baby hungry and plenty of time for a solid feeding here in the studio before your appointment. We have an area for you to feed and relax. This will give the baby an opportunity to fall asleep here and be ready to go at your appointment time. We want to spend as much time as possible in the studio.
    • We plan to keep the room VERY warm. Please make sure you are dressed comfortably as well and bring your outfit for the session separately.
    • For adults, we ask that you bring both a light and dark-colored shirt (or dress) for the shoot. We prefer if the dark-colored shirt is short-sleeved or sleeveless. We may have your hands or shoulders in the pictures and usually do one or two family shots.
    • If there are siblings that are included, they should come during the last 30 minutes of the session only. We prefer siblings to be dressed in white or light colors unless you are planning for a darker color outfit for the family photos.
    • For the baby, we recommend that you bring along extra bottles (if you are not breastfeeding), a pacifier for soothing (even if they are not using one yet), plenty of wipes, and extra diapers.

We know remembering what to bring for your photo session can be a little overwhelming.  Here is our quick packing list to get you started.

Packing List:

  • Any props or keepsakes you want to use during your session.
  • Extra bottles for babies if you are not breastfeeding.
  • Extra diapers and wipes.
  • Pacifiers
  • Bottle of water.
  • Snacks (puffs, cheerios, etc.).
  • Outfits and shoes for anyone taking photos (please note that all children over the age of 2 should wear shoes for their session).
  • Comfort items or lovies (note that we will only use these in difficult situations).

Preserving your family’s precious moments is our passion, and we are genuinely excited and looking forward to your session! If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to call or text us at 212-600-4457.
