Just look at this sweet guy! SO handsome and sleepy. I enjoy adding his parents to his newborn session gallery. It’s so important to include these moments that slip through time so quickly. Be sure to visit my details page for what to expect during your session but here are some tips on preparing for your little one’s newborn session with me.

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

Keep baby awake for a minimum of 90 minutes or more prior to your session start time.

*If this is not working for you please don’t stress, sometimes they stay asleep even for their session. But sometimes if parents tell me they slept through the night or have been asleep all morning, our chances are higher for them to be woken up sometimes during their session and stay awake.

Nursing? Avoid spicy foods for 24 hours or more before your session.

Schedule shots, circumcision or immunizations the week (or at least 48 hours) prior to your session date.

*If you use a pacifier, bring it with you but don’t use it prior to the session and please leave the stuffy attachments off. These get in my way while posing them

Your hands may be visible. Time for that manicure!

PACK YOUR BAG

Sessions can last up to 3 hours, so a “Newborn Session Kit” is a great idea.

Here are some things to include:

Your Special Blankets

Extra Milk or Formula

Extra Diapers

Baby Wipes

Pacifier

 

What I provide: 

All hats, bonnets, wraps, props

Snack for family members and water

Lots of love for your little one 🙂
