Get to know the photographer
Shay Dobson
I am a young mom and entrepreneur. My husband Tyler and our son Remy are my biggest cheerleaders and I am so grateful to call hunnybphoto my full time job.
When I'm not taking photos, I enjoy taking my son to the park, painting, and yoga. Creating a beautiful environment in our home and an imaginative childhood for my baby is so important to me.
Parenthood is filled with irreplaceable moments that can slip away with time. I’m here to help you remember the present far into the future.
Since becoming a mother I value photos so much more. Our children change so much too quickly. I love having photos all over our home. We believe it is so beneficial for children to see themselves in photos with family being loved and playing games.
My photography is always evolving. There is always room for improvement and opportunities to learn. My personal style is light, colorful and natural. I put so much thought and work into my work. Just like painting on a canvas, editing the photos I take is my art.

NEWBORN PREP GUIDE
1
Feeding
Please feed your baby about 30 minutes before you leave for the studio so that baby is full. The car ride will induce sleepiness so that they are ready to go when you get to the studio.
Or arrive early to feed in your car or in my studio. (when available)
For in home or hospital sessions, feed baby 30 minutes before your session.
2
Sleeping
I advise not to alter baby's sleeping schedule. We can always shift the session time as needed if it lands in baby's awake hours. I like to stay flexible with my newborn sessions for this reason.

Baby Attire
Dress baby in a simple button up or zip up sleeper without layers underneath or on top so that its easy to change baby into swaddles or outfits.
If you have an outfit from home that you want included, change them into that outfit before you feed baby, and use a bib to protect from spills and spit up.
4
What to Bring
Have a bottle and or binky to help keep baby happy and sleepy. We usually have time to feed baby during the session if needed. Bring extra burp cloths to keep baby's face clean and to put under baby's bum if you'd like naked photos.
Have any personal items (toys, outfits, swaddles, blankets etc.) that you want included in the photos ready.

Inspiration
You are welcome to message me with any questions or concerns. You can also dm me inspiration photos or poses you like from my website hunnybphoto.com or Instagram @hunnybphoto. Let me what style you like!

Rescheduling
If baby comes sooner or later than planned, let me know! We can always shift the session date so that your session lands within 1-2 weeks after birth. I have found the best results happen with 10-14 day old babies, but every baby is different!
