Newborn Photography GUide
Before
Scheduling
We recommend that parents schedule their newborn sessions before the baby arrives to make sure they have a spot on our calendar!That also gives me enough time fully customize a newborn session just for you! If anything else is needed such as a coordinating headband or matching outfit, I will have enough time to research and purchase any additional items needed.
Newborn sessions must be scheduled within the first 14 days of life. Though, the best time is between 4-7 days after their arrival.
Arrival Day!
Yay!! I know you are just excited as I am to capture those little tiny fingers and toes while it last! Once you and baby have been giving the green light to go home, please contact me right away to schedule a definite date and time for your babies newborn session.Babies tend to do better in the sessions within the first 7 days of their life because they sleep most of the time. The more they sleep the easier it is for us to move them around into the sweet sleepy newborn poses.

During
Bathing
Babies do very well in the studio for posing when they are in a very deep sleep. To encourage this I highly recommend, stimulating the baby at least two hours before photographer arrives, a warm bath always does the trick.

Feeding!
We love “milk drunk” babies! Please feed and burp the baby right before the session to ensure baby is happy and sleepy. We may ask you to nurse (or feed) the baby during our session if they start to get cranky.
I highly recommend if you’re solely breastfeeding to pump and bottle feed your milk for your babies session.
Shhh!
Please do whatever you can to keep the noise to a minimum during our session. Maintaining a calm environment is also a big key to a successful newborn shoot. I do have a white noise app that I will keep close to baby during the session to help soothe him or her. Babies love strong and rhythmic sound. Amazingly! that’s the sound the heard 24/7 in the uterus!
If you have other children that might create noise, try to find a sitter that can take them from home for a few hours. If you have a pet, you may want to do the same. We will create white noise while we are there. If you plan to have children a part of the session, we recommend bringing them in the beginning or end of the session and then have someone take them. Only those being photographed should be at the session.
