Scheduling your newborn photography session can be a daunting task at first. here’s a short guide on what to expect and what to look for in a professional newborn photography session..
When it comes to finding a newborn photographer, there are certain expectations that you should have. First off, you should be searching for a EXPERIENCED newborn photographer that is trained in handling tiny babies. I suggest a photographer with patients and gentle demeanor to handle the unpredictable newborns.
Look for a photographer with the same style of photos you are looking for. Follow them on social media platforms to ensure their work consistently meets your standards. Schedule a phone call or time to discuss option they offer for you. Take this time to also answer any questions you may have about their process.
Newborn sessions take up some time in your day, expect 2-4 hours at the studio from start to finish . Bring snacks and maybe a good book to keep you entertained. This may seem like a long time but it really does take that much time to capture all those precious portraits you are dreaming of.
While preparing for your newborn session, try to plan your outfits, color choices and posing preferences prior to babies arrival. On the day of the session, it helps for baby to have a short bath or sponge bath before leaving the house. If you are close to the studio, feed the baby just before leaving the house. Prepare to arrive a earlier than the schedule start time to ensure baby if full if you have a longer drive.
