Newborn Home Studio Session Info
Thank you for choosing me to capture your sweet new little one! The smell and sounds and snuggles, I love getting my baby snuggles in during these sessions. This is an unforgettable time in your families life that can sometimes be a blur. I'm glad you've chosen to document it and hope you forever treasure these pictures.
Below you'll find some tips to help make your session go as smoothly as possible. I know there can be a lot of stress going into the session but I'm here to help take some of that away.
Tip 1
To have a sweet and sleeping baby, please try and get a full feeding in before I arrive! If their bellies are full, they'll fall sleep easier and be okay with me moving them around for various poses and family time.
Tip 2
For your families outfits, keep them basic, neutral, and of course comfortable. The focus is the on baby so neutral clothes will help with that. Think neutral earthy tones, blush, light blue, creams, grey, ivory, and tans are always great colors.
Tip 3
We can pause to do a feeding for the baby if necessary. Some newborn sessions will run quicker than others depending on the mood and hunger of the baby so don't worry if yours run closer to two hours.
Tip 4
If your baby uses a pacifier, have it handy. It helps to soothe them when needed. If there are any special props you want to include, have them out! Is there a special hat, blanket, outfit, etc. I love to include those!
Tip 5
Don't clean your whole house! We'll most likely take photos in the nursery and the room that gets the most natural light at the time of day our session is. I may move a few things around or clean off a nightstand but you have enough to worry about than doing a big cleaning.
Tip 6
No need to have anything clothing prepared for the baby. I will bring all the wraps, hats, headbands, etc. If you have something special you would like to include, great, just let me know!
