Welcoming a new baby into your family is one of life’s most precious moments, and capturing those first days through a newborn photoshoot is a beautiful way to preserve these memories forever. But as a new parent, the thought of preparing for a photoshoot might feel a little overwhelming. Don’t worry—I’m here to help you every step of the way! 

Here are my top tips for ensuring a relaxed and enjoyable newborn photoshoot experience.

Relax, Relax, Relax!

First and foremost, the best thing you can do is relax! I know it’s easier said than done, but trust me—your baby can pick up on your energy. When you’re calm and relaxed, your baby is more likely to be content and cooperative during the session. I’ve got everything under control, and my goal is to provide you with a stress-free experience that results in stunning photos of your little one.

Read the Prep Guide

Before your session, I’ll provide you with a comprehensive prep guide that covers everything you need to know. This guide is designed to help you prepare for the session so that everything goes smoothly. From what to wear to how to prepare your baby, the prep guide has it all. Be sure to read through it carefully and follow the tips provided—it will make a world of difference on the day of the shoot.

Prepare for the Session Accordingly

To ensure the best possible outcome for your newborn photos, there are a few key things you can do to prepare:

1. Keep Baby Comfortable: Make sure your baby is well-fed and has a clean diaper before the session. A full tummy and a clean diaper can make a big difference in your baby’s mood and comfort.

2. Dress Baby in Loose Clothing: On the day of the shoot, dress your baby in loose, easy-to-remove clothing to avoid any marks on their skin. This will also make it easier to change them into different outfits or wraps during the session.

3. Trust the Process: As a trained newborn photographer, I’ve seen it all! Whether your baby is fussy, sleepy, or wide awake, I’m equipped with the skills and patience to handle it. I’ll guide you through the entire process, so there’s no need to worry.

Proper preparation can make a significant difference in the outcome of your newborn photoshoot. When you’re relaxed and have taken the time to prepare, it allows me to focus on capturing those precious moments without any unnecessary stress or interruptions. This means more time for getting the perfect shots and less time worrying about the little details.
