THE STUDIO
Wanda Drake Photography
My state-of-the-art boutique studio is located in Grand Bank, Newfoundland & Labrador. It has been my career-long goal to create a space that's cute, comfy, clean and inviting, and that's exactly what WDP offers. The studio features hundreds of backdrops and props as well as a rotating selection of the teeniest outfits for your babes. There is also a large client closet for new mamas and mamas-to-be to enjoy during their session. Everything you could possibly need for your session is here so sit back, have a tea or coffee, and relax as I work my magic.
Health and cleanliness is a top priority
With tiny fingers often touching the floors as well as new immune systems hanging out, keeping the studio at a high level of cleanliness is a priority. Props and linens are washed in scent-free detergent between sessions, and surfaces wiped down regularly. As well, as an extra precaution I mask up during newborn sessions to protect the most vulnerable clients. In return, I just ask that you remove your shoes in studio and stay home if you are sick or unwell. We can always reschedule.
It's okay to forget something
Need a clean pacifier, diaper, wipe, or even just a cup of coffee? I got you. My rolling utility cart is my best friend in studio and has everything we need.
I hold the secret to two hours of sleep
To keep babies sleepy and comfortable for the duration of your session I have a few tricks up my sleeve. Arrive with your newborn in a loose diaper and a simple sleeper. I'll remove them from their carrier into the cozy studio heated at a toasty 24 degrees celsius. From there, babe (& usually dad) will be calmed to sleep with the sound of white noise and soft music.
