Welcoming baby Andi
ANdi
Andi was absolutely perfect at her lifestyle newborn photoshoot! After capturing mom's studio maternity pictures, I had the special privilege of capturing the newly family of 4. Big sister was over the moon about having a baby sister to play with! Big sister borrowed from my studio closet for her pretty blue dress.
Studio or in-home lifesyle
Welcoming a brand new baby into your family is an exciting time! You will want to document your babies tiny little face, toes, and little expressions. These are the moments you will want to remember forever and I would be honored to capture them for you in my studio or in your home for a more lifestyle session!
Best time to book your newborn session is a couple months in advance to make sure there is availability. Once baby is born we will finalize the actual session date. Photos are best when infants are between 5 to 14 days old!
Client closet, props, clothing, wraps, bonnets, headbands, and more are available for your customized session with me!
Very first step is to fill out the inquiry form at the bottom of the page, and I'll be in touch within 24-48 hours via email (if it's over the weekend, you'll hear from me on Monday)! Make sure to check your spam folder :)
We will chat through email to answer all of your questions, talk about your due date, and pick the perfect location of your choice. Maternity can be on location or in studio. Newborns are either in studio or more of a lifestyle feel in the comfort of your home!
I'm so excited to work with you!
1. Say Hello
2. Book your session
At this stage we would have talked about the details of your session, desired date, location, and collection that suits your family the best (collections are chosen after the session from a proofing gallery).
I will send over a booking proposal where you'll fill out a short but very important questionnaire, sign a photography agreement and pay the $200 non-refundable retainer. Once this is all squared away, you will be OFFICALLY BOOKED and on the calendar!!
3. planning
A "Newborn Session Guide" will make it's way into your inbox! This guide walks you through information about outfit ideas, how to prepare baby, and what to expect during your photoshoot!
Within the week of your session, you will receive an email confirming the starting time and some last minute details to help make our session stress free! Also the remainder of the balance will be due within 5 days of the session.
4. Session day
The day is finally here and we are going to have a blast!
My photoshoots are laid back, baby lead, and overall JOYFUL!
You will not have to worry about the pressure of posing, I will take care of that :)
5. your photographs
I know you are so excited to see your images!! Within a week after your session, I'll send a proofing gallery with soft edited images for you to choose from. After wiping the tears away from looking at your beautiful family, you will then select the number of digital images you would like (10, 20 or all).
Your gallery will be ready within 3 weeks after digital selection! You'll receive an email will access to your GORGOUS gallery! You will be able to download the gallery and purchase wall art!
We are so happy we found Constance and are looking forward to many years to come of her capturing beautiful memories for our family. She took newborn photos for us in July 2024 that we will cherish forever - they are stunning! Light and airy, crisp and clear - timeless. First, her communication is top notch. She contacted me quickly after inquiring on her website with a professional email and all questions immediately answered without prompting that I had in my mind - how it all works, timeline, difference in types of photos she provides, pricing - all of it. She also wants to genuinely get to know your family and goals for the photos to provide the best experience possible and meet all expectations. We had a complicated hospital stay and postpartum course and she was so flexible, caring, and checked in frequently and was able to adjust our photo session timeline to be the best to work for us. As a testament to her high skill level, she was able to capture gorgeous photos of a nearly one month old who also had colic at the time! Phew! At the photo shoot, we went to her studio. She had so many props, outfits, headbands, soothing tools and techniques for baby - everything set up. There is furniture to sit so we were able to feed and rock the baby which was so helpful. There was a changing station for her as well set up and a diaper pail. She had very soothing music on. It was a great environment! Constance had incredible patience. We never felt pressured or uncomfortable with our fussy baby and she even helped soothe multiple times which was so relieving. After, Constance kept in close contact and had an impressive turnaround time on getting the proof gallery and then the final gallery back to us. The gallery delivery is also on a very professional, beautiful, and easy to use platform. I can't say enough good things! I feel so incredibly lucky we found her. We already booked her Christmas minis as well! Look no further - you've found the perfect photographer!
Constance has been taking photos for our family for the past 2 years and we are left speechless every time! If you are looking for someone to capture timeless memories for your family, look no further.
Constance is incredible! Her work is just beautiful but not only that, she made us feel comfortable from the very first moment. Our big girlies had the best time getting their pictures done while our little one was taken care of with the utmost care & love. We will be long time clients & cannot wait to come back for more!
Constance Calton Photography is amazing! With a busy 1 year old, you feel pressured to go, go, go at a photoshoot but, Constance went slow and took her time to get just the right shot. Her pricing is reasonable and she very responsive to questions. I highly recommend!
Highly recommend Constance Calton Photography for your newborn and family photos! Constance was so good with our baby girl, working through her newborn fussiness with such patience. Our session was so fun and relaxed. We absolutely love how her newborn pictures turned out!
Constance has helped us capture so many moments for our family including our daughters first year photos, family photos, maternity/mommy and me, and newborn photos. Constance is always patient and takes the time to understand exactly what we’re looking for in our photos. We will continue to work with Constance Calton Photography for our future photography needs and would recommend her to others to do the same!
Constance took my maternity and newborn photos! She is excellent at her job and is very talented. She takes time to make sure everything is perfect! Her communication prior to the shoot made me feel at ease about the process with a newborn and toddler.
Constance is amazing! I purchased two family sessions for my mom and mother in law and she made everything so easy. During the session she made us feel so comfortable (not to mention how good we look in the photos). The patience she had with our 2 little babies and the time she spent making sure she got the best photos of them was seriously the best. She now has forever customers and I’ll make sure to recommend her to any other friends or family. Definitely book. You will NOT be disappointed!
Constance is simply the best! She did our son’s 1 year smash cake session and family photos. Despite the 90 degree weather and a cranky baby, Constance worked her magic and was so patient with us. We will definitely use her in the future!
I contacted Constance last minute for newborn photos. (First time mom here!) she was so accommodating! She offered me suggestions on outfits, colors and recreated a few poses I had in mind.
Our newborn decided she wanted to run the show and throw a few curve balls in there. Constance was outstanding with her and captured her personality beautifully. THAT is something you don’t normally get to see in newborn photos. I am completely in love with the photos and will cherish them for years and years to come! Thank you, Constance! 💗
I’ve personally never had the chance to get professional photos done until I got the chance with Constance. She worked so well with my kids, so patient while they got all excited. The session was so easy and laid back. The photos were better then I could have ever expected. I absolutely loved every photo she captured. 12/10 will definitely be back! She’s a wonderful person and I can’t wait to do business with her again!
We had Christmas Tree farm photos with Constance Carlton photography December 5th. The session was set up well and ran smoothly! Even with a hard headed toddler Constance kept rolling and thought outside of the box to get some wonderful photos for our family to enjoy!
Constance was thorough and patient with my newborn and two daughters. I really like how professional her communication was before, during, and after our session. She made sure there was total understanding about instructions, expectations, and payment. My 3 year old was particularly difficult on picture day, but that didn’t slow Constance down. She was also accommodating of my daughter with special needs to make sure she was comfortable and included. The final product was to die for. I will treasure these pictures forever.
Constance not only fit us in at the last minute for newborn pictures, but we’ve had our 3 and 6 month sessions with her! We plan to keep her as our family photographer! She always catches the sweetest and most perfect shots of our little love, and we love her for that! She is truly the best!!!!
Constance is great! She has taken our Easter photos for 2 years and also my newborns photos! She is very professional and does an awesome job! I loved then all!
Constance was great! She got some great first birthday photos and executed our vision perfectly. She finally got some smiles out of our daughter who wasn’t so sure about having photos taken!
