What To Expect
How to successfully prepare for your upcoming Newborn Session.
What to Prepare Before Your Session
Pack The Essentials
Pampers, wipes, bottle, pacifier etc. If breastfeeding; you may bring your breast pump. Sometimes the pump can help express if baby is cluster feeding.
How To Dress
My In-Home Studio can get very warm with the heater going. Feel free to dress in light clothing to stay comfortable. If you're doing family photos; you can change when you get here.
Food & Snacks
You are more than welcome to order food to eat. While I do provide snacks and beverages; feel free to bring your own snacks if you'd like.
Session Day Preparation
Here's a few things that can help keep baby comfortable during their newborn session. These are just suggestions and are not mandatory.
Once you arrive at the studio I will do my best to keep baby happily settled.
Before Leaving the House
A warm bath can help relax baby. Try giving baby a warm bath before you leave for your session.
Traveling with Baby
If you are traveling a long distance to get to your session; try your best to keep baby up. If baby is extremely sleepy; wake baby up halfway through the car ride so that they're nice and sleepy again when they arrive.
Feeding Baby
Try feeding baby 30 minutes before the session. If breastfeeding; try having baby empty both breasts. If formula feeding; allow baby to eat until full. Allowing baby to burp really good can prevent gas bubbles. Please bring a bottle and pacifier on the session day, these are essential for helping keep baby soothed throughout the session.
Gassy Baby
If baby is uncomfortable and experiencing gas, gripe water may help do the trick. ** Please consult your doctor regarding this.**
What To Expect on Session Day
Session Time Expectancy
Newborn Sessions can take from 3-4 hours. Baby is in full control of how the session turns out. Being sure baby is comfortable and his/her needs are met is my main priority. The majority of the time of the session will be spent settling baby. Babies feed off of our energy, so remember to relax; everything is going to go just fine.
Feeding Baby During the Session
It is important to feed baby a few times during a newborn session. For Breastfeeding Mom's; it is best to follow a healthy breastfeeding diet a few days before your session. Avoid foods that make you gassy and acidic foods. More suggestions can be found online; It does not guarantee the baby will be comfortable, but it may help.
