Before your Session

• Try to feed your baby right  before your session time, if possible. That way we will start with a happy baby! Or if you’d like any feeding/nursing photos or video, just let me know and I’ll make sure to capture that!
• Make sure the house is extra warm. This will make your baby much happier throughout the session!
• What should parents wear? You can pick something comfortable. Neutral and soft colors work great for newborn sessions. Casual clothing and bare feet look very natural for at-home sessions.
• What should the baby wear? The idea of a lifestyle newborn session is to look very natural, so you can pick something simple. I know there are a lot of cute newborn outfits out there, but most of them can be distracting in photos. A neutral color onesie looks great, or even having the baby just in a diaper. Try to pick something that keeps the baby’s feet uncovered.
• Accessories are great! Headbands are super cute for girls. Swaddle blankets are also great for variety (here’s a shop that sells some beautiful ones). Let me know what you’d like to use at the beginning of the session.

• if your session is at home, try to tidy up the space a little, but don’t worry about it being perfect. Just throw some things in a closet if needed! I typically take photos/video in the nursery, living room and parent’s bedroom.
