HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR NEWBORN SESSION : A PARENTS GUIDE

1.Baby’s birth is so unpredictable. It’s best to start consultations and finalize your photographer during the second trimester of your pregnancy.

2.Newborn photography/photo shoots are the most successful when done within first 14 days of birth. During this period, most of the time babies are asleep and it's easier to get those cute sleeping poses of the baby.

3. About half an hour before your session, please loosen baby’s diaper and any clothing with that could leave red marks on the babies skin. Loosening them before the session gives them time to disappear.

4. A well fed baby is a happy baby. Please feed and burp baby right before the newborn session. I am also happy to make as many breaks as baby needs if she or he gets hungry during the photo shoot.

5. Do not go overboard in getting all the newborn poses you have seen online or on Pinterest. Understand that every baby is different and they respond differently on that particular shoot day. Though professional newborn and kids photographer are experts in handling the babies and getting as many shots as possible, but they know when to stop and you should be considerate to that.

6. And the last but not least. Please bring pacifier for the session. It is extremely helpful to keep baby happy and relaxed during the newborn session.
