Newborn Prep

Stimulate & keep baby awake for around an hour or so before the session, this will help make baby extra sleepy for the session. When baby can get in to deeper sleep it makes posing easier.

Feed baby right before the session. A full belly makes for a happy, sleepy baby. Feel free to come a little early to the studio to feed baby right before, especially if you have a longer car ride. Also, feeding baby as much as possible in the 12 hours leading up to the session will allow for baby to sleep as deeply and as long as possible.

If you are okay using one, bring a pacifier. Even if baby doesn’t seem to take it. Sucking is a soothing mechanism & can help with settle baby once they are in place for photos.

When baby needs a break, we’ll take a break. You don't need to stress if baby gets fussy. If we need to stop so baby can eat or they need their diaper changed, we most definitely will. Most babies need to eat at least once during their session.
