Early on in my photographer years, I loved when photographers would share little tips on their blog. I also think it helps prepares clients for what to expect when they come to my studio for a newborn session.   So here are a few tips I recommend for a successful newborn session.

  1. Timing: Scheduling the session for 7-14 days after birth is ideal. This allows for posed, sleepy photos of your newborn.  I’ve photographed newborns at 1 month old, but they do tend to be more awake and aware for their session.
  2. Activity: Have active awake time before the session.  It’s really hard to keep a newborn awake for any extended time, but even 20-30 minutes can make a big difference. So I encourage sponge bath, walking around, singing, dressing, changing.
  3. Food: Good feeding and burping before the session.  We all know that having a full tummy helps babies to sleep well.  So allowing a good feeding before the session always helps.
  4. Warmth: I keep my studio nice and warm for the session and this makes the biggest difference.  Newborns are use to being in their momma’s tummy and a warm environment is very comforting.
  5. Sound: I have a Baby Shusher in the studio and that has been wonderful. Sometimes the click of my camera can make baby startle, so that helps to take that away.  It’s a very realistic shushing sound that my newborn babies love.
  6. Swaddled: Yes, I love the 5 S’s and swaddling is one of them. I have a wide selection of wraps in my studio that are available for my clients to use.

With all these together, we create a successful, and adorable newborn session.

Here is a recent newborn session that I’m excited to share!
