Newborn Studio & Lifestyle Session Questionnaire

I’m so looking forward to photographing your family. Please help me get to know you, and especially your children, by answering the questions below. Your answers will help me to plan out your session and get the best smiles from your kiddos! 

    Your Name *
    Email Address *
    What is your due date?
    Boy, girl or surprise? BoyGirlSurprise
    Tell me a bit about any older siblings that will participate in the session. (Names, ages of kids, likes and dislikes, hobbies, personality traits, favorite characters, TV shows, songs, or anything else that makes them smile)
    Is there anything else you think would be helpful for me to know about your children or family? (Examples include super shy children, physical difficulties and disabilities, autism, and the like.)
    Have you had professional newborn photos done before?YesNo
    If yes, what did you love about it? Anything you didn’t like? (If any family members have reservations or worries, note them here.)
    Do you or your older children have any specific features you would NOT want retouched? (Examples include birthmarks, moles, etc.)
    Any other concerns, requests or information you’d like to share? (Don’t worry, you can always contact me again if you’ve forgotten something!)

    Newborn studio session clients only, please also answer the questions below:

    What are your favorite colors?
    Any colors that you strongly dislike?
    What colors are in the baby’s nursery?
    What colors are primarily used in the rest of your home? In particular, if there is an area of your home where you plan to display photographs, what colors are there?
    If you were referred by someone, who can I thank?

    I will add you to my infrequent email newsletter with updates and specials, unless you request otherwise. I will never send you spam or sell your email.
