What to prepare for your photography session
here are a few things that can help keep baby settled during their first newborn session. Please don't worry if you are not able to do them. Once you arrive at the studio I will do my best to soothe baby.
bring the essentials
Diapers, bottle, pacifier etc. You are also welcome to bring your breast pump. There is a private bathroom where you can pump.
comfy clothes
It gets very warm in the studio! You can come dressed in comfy clothes and if you're doing family photos you can change in the private bathroom in the studio.
snacks
You are welcome to order Uber eats, bring snacks and eat at the studio. I provide snacks & water. You are also welcome to bring your own snacks.
feeding
If possible please fully feed baby 30 minutes before the session. Bringing a bottle and pacifier on the session day can also help keeping baby comfy.
01
how long will the session be?
Newborn Sessions can take up to 4 hours. I don't rush my newborn sessions and I like to follow the baby's lead. Making sure baby is comfortable is my number one priority. Most of the time is spent soothing baby. It's good to come to the studio as relaxed as possible as babies can feel if you're stressed.
02
feeding during the session
It is essential to feed baby a few times during a newborn session. If you're breastfeeding it is best to keep a good breastfeeding diet few days before your session. More information can be found online about the types you could avoid. Although it does not ensure the baby will be comfy, it sure does help.
03
after the session
after your session you will receive an online gallery to select your images within 3-4 business days. After your selection your images will be ready in 2 to 3 weeks.
