Congratulations on your newborn baby! Welcoming a newborn baby into the family is one of the happiest and most exciting times in your life. My number one priority during the session is to ensure that your new baby is comfortable and safe. And as a newborn photographer I am with you every step of the way to make sure that your entire photography experience is perfect. This guide will help you step by step prepare for your newborn session and show you what to expect from your session.
Prepping Your Baby
What to do before your session
- Stimulate & keep baby awake before the session. I recommend a nice bath to make baby nice and tired! The session will last anywhere between 2-4 hours so we need a nice and sleepy baby!
- Feed baby right before the session. I recommend feeding no sooner than 30 minutes before the session. This will keep baby nice and sleepy. We will also take breaks during the session to feed as needed!
- Bring a pacifier, even if baby doesn’t seem to take it. Sucking is very soothing, they aren’t used to being moved as much as they will be during the session. We want to make sure baby is comfortable and relaxed at all times!
What Do You Need To Bring
- Your session is completely customized for you, and I provide absolutely everything. No need to have to bring anything extra along (unless you really want to!) please let me know in the questionnaire.
What To Expect During Your Newborn Session
- The studio will be very warm to keep baby nice and comfortable. The temperature will be between 70-80 degrees.
- When baby needs a break we will take a break. Don’t stress if baby gets fussy! If baby needs to stop and eat or change we absolutely will ! Most babies need to feed at least once during their session.
- Once we finish the session we will schedule the date for your photo reveal!
What To Wear To Your Newborn Session
- Go simple for family’s wardrobe! When planning your outfits for your family photos & sibling shots stick with soft pastels and/or neutral colors such as white or cream. This keeps the focus on baby and your families connection. It also allows the images to match with any part of your home!
- Steer clear of logos or bold patterns as your taste may change over time. We want your images to remain elegant and last a lifetime.
I am more than happy to help style your session! Always feel free to shoot me a text/email so I can assist you further.
Enjoy your session! Bringing a newborn into the home is very tiring. Someone else is taking care of your baby for several hours! Relax on the couch, have some snack and drinks that come complimentary with your session.
