Newborn Sessions
What is the ideal age to get the photos taken?
For studio photography the ideal age is between 5-12 days. When babies are that tiny they spend a lot of time sleeping and still curl up into very sweet poses similar to the positions they were in when they were in the womb. After two weeks babies go through a growth spurt and will start stretching their arms and legs and will not be as amenable to curling up for a picture or sleeping as soundly, which is needed for some of the poses and photographs in props like the buckets.
​
What should your newborn wear to the photo session?
Most studio newborn photography is done naked to capture the tininess of being a newborn so something that is easy to take on and off. If you’d rather have your baby clothed in the pictures something that fits them very well is important. There are also multiple costumes provided that your newborn can wear during the photoshoot.
​
What should you bring to the photoshoot?
Some good things to bring are pacifiers, a change of clothes for yourself (if you’re going to be in the photos holding a naked baby you might get pooped on), some extra nappy's and wipes, extra formula or bottles if you are not breastfeeding, and any special blankets or toys that you want included in the photos. Please note that there are props provided but feel free to bring some if you wish.
