Newborn sessions are best photographed when the baby is 4-15 days old. After this time-frame, the baby is easily awakened and may be more difficult to pose.
 

• Because I do not work with an assistant, mommy or daddy may need to help “spot” baby for some poses.

• Sessions may take up to 1-2.5 hours long. (Can be shorter, but also longer)

• Props, headband, bonnets and wraps are supplied. If you have a sentimental item, bring along if you wish.

• If baby is breastfed, avoid caffeinated and carbonated drinks as well as gassy and spicy foods 24 hours prior to session.

• Keep the baby awake minimum 1 hour prior to session (a bath works well).

• Give the baby large feed before arriving at the studio or plan to feed once you arrive. Be prepared to feed baby throughout session or have prepared bottles (bottles work great for posing and feeding simultaneously).

• Bring baby to session in a button/zipper-down sleeper and loose diaper.

• A pacifier is HIGHLY encouraged. Usage will be minimal and therefore nipple confusion will not occur, it can happen but the usage is very little.

• Room will be very warm, dress in layers for your own comfort. (So you can adjust to the room temperature easily)

• It is suggested to clear schedule for the day to avoid over-stimulation prior to session; also, sessions may run longer than anticipated.

• When baby needs a break, we’ll take a break. Don’t stress if baby gets fussy. If baby needs to stop to eat or have their diaper changed, we most definitely will. Most babies need to eat at least once during their session.
