Preparing for a Successful Newborn Photography Session

Preparing for a newborn photography session is crucial to ensure a smooth and successful experience. Here are some tips to help you prepare:

Schedule the session within the first two-three weeks. Newborns are often sleepier and more cooperative during the first two-three weeks of their lives. Scheduling the session during this time increases the chances of capturing those peaceful and curled-up poses.
Communication. Before the session, be sure you do not have any questions for me, your photographer, and review my tips and prep guide at least a day before your session. So you are aware of all expectations, preferences, and any special requests you may have.
Plan for breaks and feedings: Newborns require frequent breaks and feedings during the session. Allow enough time for diaper changes, feeding breaks, and soothing the baby back to sleep. Patience and flexibility are key when working with newborns. Which is why my sessions can last 2-3 hours.
