3 Tips to Prepare for Your Newborn Photo Session
You’ve scheduled your lifestyle newborn session and shoot day is drawing near! Here are three tips that will help you prepare for a successful first photo shoot of your new baby!
A hungry baby is not a happy baby! Make sure your baby is well fed before I arrive. If they’ve already had a full feed, consider giving a top off feed just prior to my arrival. We can always take nursing breaks if needed throughout the shoot, but it’s best to start off with a well-fed baby!
Lay out anything you think you might like to include in the shoot: favorite onesies and outfits, a special blanket made by Grandma, Daddy’s own childhood stuffed animal, etc . . . Having everything laid out beforehand helps ensure we don’t forget any special photos.
Have a playlist of your favorite music playing. Though I try to make portrait sessions low-key and relaxed, the idea of posing for photos can bring about nerves for some people at the beginning of the shoot. Music has a wonderful effect on one’s mood and having favorite music playing in the background can help relax everyone!
