Choosing Your Colors & Backdrops
I offer a variety of beautiful colors and backdrops to create a timeless and customized look for your session.
Color Selection: Please visit my webpage to browse my available color options and select your preferred tones. Let me know your choices at least one week before your session so I can have everything prepared.
Requesting a New Backdrop: If you’d like a specific backdrop that I don’t currently have, please request it at least one month before your session to allow time for ordering and setup. While I can’t guarantee all requests, I’ll do my best to accommodate your vision!
Feeding & Sleep Preparation
To ensure a smooth and comfortable session for your baby, please follow these feeding and sleep tips:
Feed Baby Upon Arrival – A full belly helps keep your little one relaxed and sleepy for those dreamy, curled-up poses. If possible, wait to feed them until just before we start.
Keep Baby Awake Before the Session – If possible, try to keep your baby awake for about 1-2 hours before the session so they are extra sleepy when we begin. A warm bath or some gentle playtime can help!
Dress Baby in Loose Clothing – Choose a simple zip-up or button-up outfit to avoid marks on their skin and make undressing easier. Avoid anything tight or difficult to remove.
Including Siblings & Family
If siblings will be part of the session, we will start with family and sibling photos first before focusing on the baby.
Plan for a Helper or Shorter Stay – Young siblings may get restless, so having another adult available to take them home or entertain them after their portion of the session is helpful.
Coordinate Outfits – Simple, neutral-colored clothing for parents and siblings works best to keep the focus on your baby. Avoid bright colors, bold patterns, or logos.
Keep It Light & Fun – Sibling photos can be unpredictable, and that’s okay! Encouraging gentle snuggles and kisses often leads to the sweetest moments.
What to Bring
🔹 Extra diapers and wipes
🔹 A pacifier (even if your baby doesn’t typically use one—it can help soothe them)
🔹 A bottle or extra milk if formula feeding or pumping
🔹 A favorite blanket or heirloom item for sentimental shots
Session Length & Expectations
Newborn sessions typically last 2-3 hours to allow time for feeding, soothing, and capturing all those tiny details. Patience is key, and we’ll follow your baby’s lead to ensure a calm and enjoyable experience.
If you have any questions or special requests, feel free to reach out! I can’t wait to create beautiful memories of your little one.
