How to Prepare for Baby Photoshoot

Time the Shoot Well

Best time: Within the first 5-14 days after birth — they’re sleepier, curlier, and easier to pose.

Feed Before the Shoot

A full tummy = a sleepy, content baby.

Try to feed your baby right before the session starts or when you arrive if it’s at a studio.

Dress Baby in Easy-to-Remove Clothing

Use loose, easy-off outfits to avoid waking baby during changes. Avoid anything that leaves marks on the skin (tight socks, elastic bands, etc.).

Bring Essentials

• Diapers, wipes, burp cloths
• Extra outfits (for baby and parents – in case of accidents!)
• Pacifier (if they take one)
• Swaddles and favorite blankets

Relax!

Babies pick up on stress. The calmer you are, the more relaxed they’ll be. Let the photographer handle posing and soothing – they’re usually pros at baby whispering.

You don’t have to worry about outfits and props, I have everything in the studio for your baby.
