Lifestyle Newborn Session

• Number one and most important… relaxand enjoy this time with your new babe!• If possible schedule your session around time when baby is usually most sleepy. We want him or her to sleep as much as possible during our shoot so that they will relax and curl into those cute newbocurl into those cute newborn poses.• Due to the frequent breaks needed to feed, change, sooth and get baby to fall asleep, newborn shoots often last longer than the average session. Please be prepared for your session to last anywhere between 1 &4 hours.• Be patient and remain calm. If baby is cranky and not cooperating please is cranky and not cooperating please do not worry. We have plenty of time to allow him/her to get comfortable and if you are stressed baby can feel it!• Since baby will be undressed we want to make the room as comfortable as possible for him/her. Please turn your heat up a couple of degup a couple of degrees before I arrive. (75 is usually good!) We may get a little warm, but baby will sleep so much better in a nice, warm environment. I will also bring a space heater to keep near baby.

• Be ready for pee (and poo)! I don’t need to tell you that newborns pee/poo a lot. Unfortunately, we may get peed on. Have a backup change of clothes for ready yourself in the event that this does occur. Especially if you are in some of the pictures. I can almost guarantee that baby will pee and I can almost guarantee that baby will pee and poo on my blankets and props. This is OK! It is completely expected and I never want you to feel bad or stressed about it. I wash all of my items after every newborn session, and it will all come out!• Clothing for mom and dad – If you elect to be in pictures with baby (which is totally up to you!), simple is typically best. to you!), simple is typically best. Wear clothing that is comfortable and flatters your figure. A solid color or layered solid colors work best.• Minimize distractions – Please limit the amount of people present at the shoot to those who are being photographed so that there is less distraction for baby. If older siblings will be aaround, please have an activity planned for them during times that they are not actually in the pictures. Siblings are more than welcome to join in for a couple of photos, but the newborn session is really focused on baby. If you want to have someone available to help assist (grandparent, friend, etc) that is totally fine.totally fine.
