WHAT TO EXPECT
from your upcoming newborns photoshoot
After your baby arrives, I like to have my mama’s shoot me a quick text after their little one is here, that way I can start to clear my schedule and find a good day for our session. Most all my newborn sessions take place when baby is anywhere from 7-12 days old. This is important because I like to shoot when baby is still in the womb-like stage and very sleepy. (you know… when their days and nights are flip-flopped. Another reason being; baby acne. It happens to most ever

WHAT TO BRING
to your upcoming newborns photoshoot
Everything we’ll need for the session, including clothing and props, is here in the studio. If there are any sentimental or special items (wedding bands, priceless blankets, family heirlooms) that you would want to have included in the photo session, kindly let me know and I will try my best to incorporate them.
We advise dressing your family members in attire that complements the look of your baby photos. We’ll talk about what this could involve during your pre-session consultation. For the safety and comfort of your infant, I maintain a warm studio climate, so wear light clothing. To keep the attention on the faces in the pictures, wear solid colors that are understated and have gentle tones. For your shots, I suggest dressing a little more formally. You don’t get to take expert pictures every day.
Is it important for parents or siblings to be photographed with the newborn? Obviously, it’s important to include parents and siblings in the pictures. This moment will never come around again. Although becoming a mother is not easy, these pictures will never go away. It is never advisable to set a baby in the nude on top of their siblings since this might cause issues and harm the youngster.
HOW TO PREPARE
please follow these tips before your session:
01 Bring your newborn into the stroller with their diapers open to prevent unwanted prints. Don’t wear headbands on a baby girl to prevent marks.
02 Wear your newborn with clothing that is simple to take off, this way we will keep it from getting agitated or upset.
03 Let’s feed your baby in our studio so you can monitor how much it eats and when it has to be fed again. This will make your baby happier and help him fall asleep faster.
04 In order to facilitate it falling asleep in the studio, try not to let your baby sleep at least one hour prior to the session.
05 Should the infant utilize a pacifier; ensure it is nearby and prepared for usage.
