Before the Session

-Please read the entire newborn prep guide and contact me with any questions you may have.

-Try your best to keep the baby awake for 1 hour before you leave for the session. I understand this can be hard but it will help the baby be sleepy for the session. Try giving them a bath, playing with them, and putting lotion on them to keep them awake. 

-Dress your baby in clothing that zips or buttons and that does NOT need to be pulled over the babies head to be removed.

-Feed your baby right before you leave for the studio, even if it is not their normal feeding time. A full feeding will help the baby be nice and sleepy before the session.

What to Bring

-If you are not directly breast feeding, please bring extra milk or formula. Bring more than you think is necessary as the baby may need to be fed several times.

-Please bring a pacifier! This is VERY important in soothing the baby. Please bring one even if the baby does not take one yet.

-Please bring extra diapers, wipes etc. as I will be removing the diaper to do naked poses.

During the Session

-Sessions can take 2+ hours depending on the temperament of the baby so please plan accordingly.

-Parent and sibling shots will be done first. I suggest wearing solid, neutral colors such as gray, white, tan cream, etc. Try to avoid busy patterns and graphics.

**Keeping the studio calm and quiet is crucial to achieving the best photos of the baby. Once the parent and sibling shots are complete, I prefer that a spouse or partner takes any siblings to the park down the street while I finish the session. I do have blocks to play with in the studio if this is not possible and if the siblings are good at staying quite for a couple of hours**

-The studio is kept as warm as possible for the comfort of the baby so please dress accordingly.

After the Session

-You will come back for your reveal and ordering session about a week after your session. You will choose your favorite photos and which products you would like to display in your home or give as gifts.

-Once payment is received in full I will put the final touches on your photos and order your products. You will be notified when they are packaged and ready for pick up.

-I strive to provide a great experience for all of my clients. I LOVE receiving reviews on my Facebook page after you have received your products!
