I’m excited to kick off this blog by sharing just how much I adore working with this wonderful family. Mom and I actually graduated together (it feels like just yesterday!), and this is the second time I’ve had the honor of welcoming them to my studio for a Newborn Session. Return clients truly warm my heart; it’s the biggest compliment I could receive! A heartfelt thank you to this amazing crew for making me feel so special and for trusting me to capture another one of your beautiful babies.
The session went incredibly smoothly, and we explored a few different setups. One of my favorites was the heart bowl with a baby bunny (yes, a real baby bunny!), which made for an absolutely adorable shot. As always, I also loved capturing the family and sibling photos—those images always stand out because of their deep connections and emotional vibes. They’re simply heartwarming.
While I take care of most of the details to make newborn sessions as easy as possible for parents, there are a few steps on your end that can help things go even more smoothly. Let’s dive into those tips!
Welcoming a new baby into your life is a magical time, and capturing those first precious moments with a newborn photo session is something you'll cherish forever. I've compiled some friendly and professional tips to help you make the most of your session to ensure everything goes smoothly.
Timing is everything when it comes to newborn photography. The best time for a session is within the first 10-21 days of birth when your little one is still super sleepy and can be easily posed. It's a good idea to book your session while you're still pregnant to secure your spot in my schedule. Trust us, you'll be glad you did!
A happy, comfortable baby is the key to a successful session. Here are a few tips to keep in mind:
Newborn sessions can take a few hours, and that's perfectly normal. Be ready for breaks to feed, change, and soothe your baby. Patience is key here, and having snacks and drinks for yourself can keep you comfortable during the session. Remember, this time is about capturing those fleeting moments, so it's worth the wait.
