How to prepare for your session?
What should I bring to my newborn session?
Newborn sessions go for about 2-3 hours in general so there are some essential items that you’ll need to bring.
They are:
enough milk if you are bottle feeding. You don’t want to run out of this! Babies tend to feed a bit more during the session as their sleep is more disrupted.
Nappies
Dummy
Snacks and drinks for mum and dad
How to encourage my sibling to be in the photos?
Prior to the session, we recommend talking to your child about where you are going and what you’ll be doing. Always talk really positively about it. The more aware they are about the session, the better!
I also find having a little surprise or treat for your child for after the session, to be really helpful
How to prepare for the session?
We highly recommend trying to feed your baby really well, just before the session. That way we should be able to go through all or nearly all the session without baby becoming unsettled. A lot of clients love our photos of babies posed in props and they need to be really sleepy to pose them in this way.
Another tip is to try to keep baby awake for an hour before making your way to the session.
