Tips for Planning the Perfect Newborn Session

Tips for Planning the Perfect Newborn Session

Book your newborn sessions between 0-2 weeks... Here is why.

 

Sleepiness

Newborns tend to sleep a lot during this period, making it easier to pose and capture those adorable snuggles and curled-up positions. After the first two weeks, babies become more alert, fussy, and less flexible, making photo shoots more challenging and take much longer.

 

Flexibility

Babies are still very flexible, allowing for those sweet, curled-up poses that are so popular in newborn photography.

 

Less Gas & Fussiness

Newborns tend to have less gas and discomfort, making them more relaxed and easier to pose, change swaddles, and outfits.

Babies are tiny during this period, which can make for some adorable swaddles and props. 

 

Essential newborn session supplies to bring to your session

 

Pacifier 

Pacifiers help keep baby sleeping soundly while changing outfits, swaddles and being posed. It will help baby and parents feel more relaxed and comfy whe

 

Extra Milk

A hungry baby is a baby who will not want to take photos, I always encourage families to bring extra milk for their little ones to ensure baby is happy.

 

Outfits tips for the family portraits

 

What to wear

Beige, tan, and brown clothing color gives a soft and cozy feeling to your photos which is perfect for those Pinterest newborn photo shoot vibes. For moms I recommend a long flowy dress or blue jeans with a warm toned top. For dads I always recommend khakis and either a warm toned top or a plain white t. The key is to avoided dark harsh or very bright vibrant to ensure your photos have a bright and airy harmonious look.

 

Book a Newborn Session

What my photography studio is stocked with

Swaddles & Fabric Backdrops

I have a variety of blues, greens, beiges, pinks, and purple backdrops and swaddles some of the swaddles may not fit babies older than 2 weeks.

 

Seamless Paper Backdrops

The studio is stocked full of paper backdrops for the family portraits included in the newborn sessions. The two I recommend for newborn sessions is white and beige as they offer soft warm tones that give a cozy soft vibe.

 

Newborn Baskets 

Newborn baskets are perfect for the adorable basket and swaddle shots that add a rustic/bohemian charm to your little ones photos.

 

Newborn Posing Station

With the posing table we are able to achieve those cute newborn poses! The posing station can be paired with teddy bears, and any other props you choose.

 

Mask and Gloves

I will wear mask and gloves while taking photos of your little one because newborns immune systems are still developing and to give you peace of mind.
