Newborn Photography Redding CA | 3 Things You Didn’t Know

Types of Newborn Photography Redding, CA Sessions

Before I divulge all of my best secrets (the 3 things you didn’t know you needed for your baby’s Newborn Photography Redding, CA Session). I want to first cover the basics. What are your options for a Newborn Session with RHP? Newborn sessions typically take place within the first 2 weeks of baby’s birthday. Where your session(s) take place is entirely based on your personal style and preferences. Here at RHP we offer 3 location options, but you are in no means limited to only choosing one of these options. Some Mama’s (myself included) will choose to have two Newborn sessions.

Did you know I offer newborn photography Redding, CA sessions in your choice of one of 3 locations?

💞 In your home

💞 In our studio

💞 or in the hospital. 

Although some people (including myself and the family from this session) sometimes choose to do BOTH a session in the hospital during those first 48 hours of baby’s life AND either a session in the studio or in their home. (If this interests you, ask me about a combo session for your newborn portraits with your inquiry!) 😊

🏡 During an in-home newborn session, I have the freedom to not only capture individual portraits of your baby, but also incorporate the details of your home and family. From the nursery (that you have been perfecting for the last 9 months) to the living room, every room is an opportunity for a beautiful and meaningful portrait. And let’s not forget about the family pets! They are an important part of the family and can add a special touch to the memories we will capture.

To further serve my clients and the community I recently launched my FREE Family Wardrobe Quiz where I style your family’s wardrobe for your next session! I am so excited to now be able to share my styling knowledge with you to make prepping for your sessions that much easier! My quiz takes all of the variables of your session that I would normally look at during my consultation process into consideration before offering you suggestions on how to style your family AND also comes with a list of wardrobe recommendations with links to my favorite curated pieces.

I cannot wait for you to try it out for your next session!

 

 

Did you give the quiz a try and love your results?! I’d love see what your next family wardrobe looks like! Give me a tag in your selfies showing off your family wardrobe or tag me in your family portraits @rachelharmelingphotography on Facebook and Instagram!

3) 📣IF YOU READ ANYTHING READ THIS: A Trained Professional NEWBORN Portrait Photographer. It’s so important to make sure you’re leaving your brand new tiny human in experienced hands. Before you commission someone to create artwork of your little one, be sure to ask them what training they have. Every year (sometimes multiple times a year – because I love it so much 🥰) I renew my education with the some of the best world renowned educators and celebrity newborn portrait photographers – to bring my clients the very best and (most importantly) the safest practices for handling their precious little bundle of joy. 🫶🏼

This year I was honored to be featured in The Belly Baby Magazine (see page 60 for my selected featured image). One of my images was selected to be apart of this beautifully curated Holiday magazine out of thousands of applicants that applied, and I am deeply honored to be apart of it!

🤰🏼If you’re due in 2024: The best time to book your Newborn Portrait Session is NOW! Spaces are limited and every year I always end up having to turn families away. Although I do (on occasion) have some last minute availability for Newborn Sessions, I always suggest booking in advance to be sure we can secure your session. 💞

Humboldt County Photographer

Hey there, I'm Rachel and I love to capture frame worthy moments for your home

I’m a first-time Mama to this little fella, named Weston (and now second time Mama to our second son, Wyatt)). I love documenting our journey and the motherhood journey of others. It brings my heart SO MUCH joy!
I like to capture it all; warm snuggles, chunky baby leg rolls, big laughs, and also the tears. Because raising little ones isn’t always rainbows and sunshine. I capture the beautiful realness and rawness of the moment. Trust me, Mama you’re going to miss all of this someday. 

I offer beautifully styled Milwaukee newborn photography and portrait photography sessions year-round both outdoors – serving Humboldt County, CA and the greater Milwaukee area, in the comforts of your home or in the hospital (for fresh 48-hour newborn sessions), and in my Eureka, CA or Milwaukee studios. 

I hope you will continue to follow my journey as I capture my Motherhood journey and the journey of other Humboldt Mamas on Instagram and Facebook.
