Chelsea did our son’s newborn photos this week, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. We went to her home studio in Osceola, which was well worth the drive from Ankeny. Her studio is well-lit, warm enough for our baby to be comfortable, and it served as the perfect backdrop for our photos.
Chelsea was so kind and gentle with our son, who was being fussy and hard to manipulate into poses at the start of the session. She knew exactly how much to feed him to help him be calm and pliable enough to get into different positions. We had a few unique photo ideas that Chelsea was more than happy to accommodate.

Keep your baby awake for a short period before the session and try to feed them right before you arrive. This helps them sleep more soundly during the photoshoot. Also, dress your baby in loose clothing to avoid marks on their skin.
