What to Wear

To achieve a timeless and non-distracting look in your photos, I recommend sticking to neutral colors such as white, cream, beige, grey, khaki, jeans, and brown.

Tips for Success

Feeding Your Baby: try to feed your baby about 30 minutes before the session. A comfortably full baby is more likely to be calm and happy.

​

Cleaning: Don't stress too much about cleaning; I'll take care of moving anything distracting in the background. However, I do suggest clearing off your bedside tables.

​

White Bedding: If possible, dress your master bed with a white duvet or comforter. White bedding helps to create a bright and airy look in the photographs.

​

Keep it Warm: Have your home slightly warmer than usual. This helps keep your baby comfortable while being photographed without swaddles.

​

Siblings: If you have any older kiddos at home, we'll usually start with their photos. This way, if they start to feel restless, they can go off and play while I continue with each parent and baby.

​

Outfits for Baby: I bring lots of swaddles, blankets, outfits, and bows but if you want to have an outfit or two ready for baby we can totally use those as well!
