Amanda Mandola Photography provides a tranquil and professional environment for capturing those treasured moments with your newborn. Located just a short 30-minute drive from The Woodlands, Texas—a charming locale known for nurturing our precious little ones—our studio offers an enchanting backdrop, perfect for creating everlasting memories. When it comes to photographing newborns, every subtle expression, gesture, and feature holds significance. My acute attention to detail enables me to capture these fleeting moments, preserving memories that parents will hold dear for a lifetime.
To ensure availability, we recommend booking your newborn session in advance, ideally during your second trimester. With only four sessions available each month, early booking is highly encouraged. Securing your session is a simple process, involving the submission of a signed contract along with a non-refundable $100 retainer fee, choosing either your due date or induction/c-section date.
Newborns are most peaceful and cooperative between 5 and 18 days of age, making this period optimal for capturing those heartwarming poses. As a registered nurse with extensive experience in neonatal ICU settings, I have a deep understanding of newborn safety and handling. Nurses possess a keen ability to notice even the slightest changes in a patient's condition, a skill that seamlessly translates into photography. Prioritizing patient safety above all else, nurses bring this commitment to their work as newborn photographers. We adhere to strict safety protocols, ensuring that every aspect of the photo shoot prioritizes the baby's well-being.
Hey there, I'm Amanda! So thrilled to connect with you! I like to think of myself as your go-to local newborn photographer, here to sprinkle a little magic into those precious early days. Babyhood is hands down my favorite stage in life—it's just so full of wonder and sweetness, isn't it? But as they say, babies don't keep, and that's where I come in.
My love for babies runs deep—I've been tending to these little bundles of joy for years, first as a nurse in the NICU and foster care, and now behind the lens as a newborn photographer for nearly five years. With over a decade of nursing experience under my belt, safety is always my top priority during photo sessions. But beyond that, I strive to capture those fleeting moments in a way that's not just beautiful, but timeless too. It's all about preserving those precious memories for you to cherish for a lifetime!
Sessions are conveniently scheduled on weekend mornings, providing flexibility for our clients. Upon booking, clients receive access to our comprehensive newborn session guide and a survey to specify color and prop preferences. We provide all necessary props, swaddles, bonnets, and backdrops, ensuring a seamless experience for our clients. Parents are encouraged to bring extra milk and diapers for their baby, along with a cooler for milk storage if needed.
Our studio's proximity to a nearby Kroger's offers convenient access to additional supplies. Safety remains our top priority, with the photographer's background as a registered nurse ensuring that babies are handled securely and comfortably throughout the session. Our studio undergoes meticulous sanitation, and the photographer wears a new K-95 mask for each session, maintaining up-to-date vaccinations for added protection. Following the session, clients receive a soft proof gallery containing edited images, allowing them to select their favorites based on their chosen package.
