How to Prepare for your Newborn Photoshoot
Welcoming a newborn into the world is a treasure trove of precious moments worth cherishing forever. As you prepare to capture these early memories through a newborn photoshoot, ensuring your little one is ready can make all the difference.
This guide aims to prepare parents for a successful and enjoyable newborn photoshoot, ensuring a memorable experience while capturing the exquisite beauty of their newest family member.
When is the best time to schedule a newborn session?
Ideally, within the first two weeks after birth newborns are sleepier and more flexible, making it easier to pose them. However, a lifestyle sessions can be held at any time!
How long does a typical newborn session?
The photo session is three hours long. This may sound like a long time but in reality, the majority of the session is spent on soothing the baby, having plenty of feeding breaks and time for us to do our various setups and outfit changes.
How should we dress our newborn?
Bring your baby in cosy clothing that is simple to change. We have an extensive range of outfits, props, and accessories that compliment our backdrops. Everything is hand-washed, cleaned and sterilised between each session.
How can we prepare for the session?
If possible keep the baby awake in the morning of the session.
Try to time a feed for when they arrive at the studio.
Don’t use oils or lotions on the baby on the morning of your session.
Extra diapers, wipes, spare clothing for baby and parents, and feeding supplies.
Can we include siblings or partners in the session?
Absolutely! We love to capture intimate portraits of new mums and partners with their newborns. Siblings are also welcome but depending on their age it’s a good idea to have a family member bring them towards the end of the session as waiting a couple of hours might be too boring for them to sit around.
When will we see the edited images?
After the session, we will book a follow-up ordering consultation in two weeks. You will be able to choose the photography package or prints you would like to purchase.
Remember, every baby is unique, and patience is key during a newborn photo session. Embrace the unpredictability and cherish these moments as they unfold. Your little one's adorable expressions and tiny features will be beautifully captured, creating timeless memories to treasure for a lifetime.
