You've planned a newborn session in my studio...now what?! A little prep goes a long way when it comes to newborn photography! These first few days with your little one are so special, and I want to make sure your photoshoot is as smooth and stress-free as possible. Here are my top tips to help you prepare:


  1. Choose Simple, Soft Clothing: For both you and baby, opt for soft, neutral colors. This keeps the focus on your baby’s sweet little details and creates timeless photos. Even better: choose items from my Studio Wardrobe to eliminate the stress of shopping.
  2. Feed Beforehand: Try to feed your baby right before the session. A well-fed baby is more likely to fall into a peaceful sleep, making it easier to capture those adorable, snuggled-up poses.
  3. Bring Extra Essentials: Pack a bag with extra diapers, wipes, and any comfort items your baby may need during the shoot. It’s always good to have backups on hand!
  4. Stay Relaxed and Enjoy the Moment: Trust me to guide you through the session. We’ll go at your baby’s pace and take plenty of breaks.
  5. Let Your Baby’s Personality Shine: Each baby is unique—some love to be wrapped up tightly, others prefer to be more free. I’ll work with your baby’s natural temperament to capture their true personality.


I can’t wait to capture these precious first moments! Expecting soon? Fill out the contact form and we'll get you on the books!
