these tips will help!
- Newborn photos are best taken at 7-14 days old. Be sure to book your newborn session well in advance of your due date to ensure availability.
- Please keep baby awake for about 1-2 hours prior to the session(get them naked, give a bath, tickle toes ect) and then give a good feed right before you leave, have baby dressed in something that does not need to be pulled over the head and watch you don’t eat anything spicy or out of the normal the day before or of session as it may upset baby’s tummy.
- It is warm in here so baby is happy and comfortable naked so dress light as you will be warm sessions are also long(approx. 2 -3 hours) so feel free to bring snacks and drinks)
- Baby is naked some of the shoot so make sure to bring extra clothing along for you(and daddy if he is here) in case there is an accident(and there will be!)
- Please bring receiving blankets, diaper wipes and a soother is great it helps them stay asleep and content for the session even if she is not using one yet or she is not going to if you can get one just for the session it will help things run better
- Please tell me if baby still has a belly button clamp on session day as well if baby boy is being circumcised it is best if we can do it before so let me know!
- Pretty please do not lotion or Vaseline babies dry skin before session it makes them shiny in photographs and very hard to edit!
- Dress in neutral colors, nothing bright or large print. For example, mom in a white or cream top and dad in a black, mom make sure you have no bright nail polish on and dad’s iron your shirts.
