Mini Newborn Session – Okotoks AB Newborn Photographer

One of my favorite types of newborn sessions that I offer is a mini session! These sessions are fully swaddled, meaning your little baby is wrapped up nice and snug the whole time and they typically last about an hour (a full session is 2-3 hours).

What I love about these sessions is how easy it is to get different looks and sets just by adding or taking away different wraps and headbands or bonnets! During a mini session I’ll move through 2 different set ups using either the fluffy fur you’ve seen in my portfolio and a prop set such as a basket or bed. I’ll focus on little details like those little fingers, that sweet nose and those toes!

Of course nothing really goes as planned sometimes. Lately I’ve had a lot of wide awake babies who aren’t really interested in sleeping, but we work with what we can! This last mini session last 2 hours because little girl was wide awake and move around like crazy!! But we still got some amazing pictures.
