17 Questions with Niki Sprekos

3. How did you get started and build a client base?

I have always had an amazing client base. My personality and warmth just draws people and babies to me. I have clients always coming back to me for their second and third or fourth babies and the referrals just keep growing. I think experience and customer service just speaks for itself. Social media platforms is amazing as well as it provides other people to be exposed to my work too and introduce amazing new clients as well.

4. Describe your style.

My style is most definitely simple, clean and minimalist. I love capturing newborns in their simple, pure form. I want to show off your beautiful babies features and the beautiful curve in their body like they were in the womb. When props are used they are kept super simple to not distract away from the main subject - your baby.

5. Do you offer posed newborn sessions? Do you bring props along?

All sessions are posed in some way shape or form. With newborn sessions the baby will always guide me in what they want to do or how they want to be placed. Some babies are curlier than others and others love to stretch. With my photography I guide them to a certain position to be posed and if they go to stretch I am there as well to capture that sweet moment too.

I have all the blankets, wraps, beanies, headbands and props that are needed during a session.

6. When is the best time to have a newborn session?

The most ideal time for your session would be up to 3 weeks of age but in saying that I photograph newborns at all ages. The younger they are the more sleepy and curly your newborn will be. As they get older some babies can get reflux or get a little baby acne but it's something I have the expertise and can work around.
