Your newborn session is a time for you to sit back and relax Mom and Dad! That’s right, I said relax!

This session will be so fun! Do not stress (all babies cry) it will not ruin your session! All toddlers mess in my things haha and all kids talk lol! (And grandparents )

Although I do like a quiet atmosphere for babies, most are used to their siblings being around them and will sleep right through!

To do before session if possible

  • Dress baby in something easy to remove like a zip up sleeper or solid white/neutral onesie we can use this under wraps.
  • Dress Comfortably (Parents and Siblings)
  • Bring a paci (even if they don’t take it at home) I can usually get them to take one during session and it makes changing props a breeze!
  • Pack Essentials

Snacks and water for yourself—it can be a long session!Always bring back up milk/bottle ready to go if you are not nursing ! Feel free to bring siblings, grands, ect. But please make sure they know it’s a small studio and they will be stuck with me for up to two hours !

Extra diapers, wipes, burp cloths, and any feeding supplies (bottles, formula, etc.)

A change of clothes for parents and siblings in case of accidents.

  • Bring MORE diapers than you think you could use

You do NOT have to bring a thing to your session as far as props,wraps,bows,hats go. I have it all, you are welcome to bring anything you’d like though!

See you soon in my studio!
