How to Prepare

Congratulations on booking your newborn photography session! Here are some key tips to help you prepare and ensure that we capture stunning, timeless photographs of your little one and your family.

What to Wear

Wondering what to wear? You’re not alone, this is the number one thing people feel unsure about. The good news is, it doesn’t have to be complicated. The best photos come from outfits that feel comfortable, natural, and like you. I put together a simple, stress-free guide to help you pull everything together without overthinking it, so you can focus on what actually matters: being present with your people.

WHAT TO WEAR GUIDE

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!
