This adorable duo was so much fun. Her big sister so happily wanted to participate in her newborn session that I could probably shoot her all day, she is that sweet and cute and was very cooperative. She probably wouldn’t mind. LOL I adored these two!

Preparing For Your Session

Getting The Most From Your Session

A bit of planning and preparation will help you get the most from your newborn portrait session. Here are a few tips that will help make your session a success.

A Full, Sleepy Baby For Squishy Poses

Those adorable newborn poses you love are easiest when your baby is full and sleepy. Keeping your baby active and awake with a bit of extended play time on the morning leading up to your session, plus a feeding 2-3 hours before your session start time, helps gently lull your baby into a nice deep sleep. During the session, I also keep the studio very warm to make baby comfortable and sleepy.

Dress Your Baby Loosely

Loose diapers, a loose fitting wrap, or a loose, easily removed sleeper are ideal clothing choices. Loose-fitting clothing should eliminate red marks on baby’s skin, and is less distracting for baby when pulled off for your session.

Although, I always recommend scheduling your newborns session with me within the first two weeks, it is never too late to document these fleeting moments. Miss Eli here at 6 weeks definitely proved my point. Sometimes bringing them in early isn’t an option. I am always baby led, meaning I follow your babies cues of what they like and don’t like and not all newborns enjoy every pose. Sometimes they need more time to fall asleep and others decide they’re going to be awake for two+ hours HAHA!

Either way, don’t forget to document this precious time with them because they won’t be fitting snuggled in your arms. Be sure to schedule and contact me soon to book 😉
