Hey new mama! whether you are anxiously awaiting your new baby’s arrival or snuggling them close in the middle of the night while you scour the internet for advice; I’ve got a few quick tidbits for ya to take a little stress of those first few weeks with your new little love.
The newborn stage of life is considered the first month – one month! its the shortest, sweetest stage with your little one. That’s what makes it all the more important to ensure that your newborn photography session goes off without a hitch!
Here’s my 5 tips to ensure your newborn photography session is fun, laid back, and results in an absolutely swoon worthy gallery of your little one.
- Schedule your session between fourteen and twenty one days of baby’s birthday. This is the time when your little newborn is still in that cute scrunched up womb phase. This is also the sleepiest time in their lives so far.
- Schedule your session for mid morning; most babies have their fussy time in the afternoon and their sleepy time in the morning.
- bring along all of baby’s favorite cozy items; blankets, binky, favorite swaddle. the quickest way to a stellar newborn photography session is to ensure that baby is cozy & happy. This is also why I allow for an extra 30 minutes for these sessions, the last thing I want is for you as a new mother to stress about your baby fussing!
- plan to feed baby either during the session or right before the session to get those sleepy images.
- Try to avoid those super cute but uncomfortable newborn photography props.. better yet! leave the props to me! choose simple and comfortable outfits for your newborn and let me bring all the extra fluff.
