HOW TO PREPARE FOR A NEWBORN SESSION


Relax. There’s no rush.


Your newborn session is designed to be easy, relaxed and completely baby-led. You don’t need to have everything perfectly planned — your baby sets the pace.

I come to you, so your session takes place in the comfort of your own home. We take our time with feeding, cuddling, diaper changes, outfit changes and little breaks whenever baby needs them.

There’s no need to rush through the session. We simply follow baby’s cues.

BEFORE YOUR SESSION


A few simple things can help the day go smoothly:


Feed baby before I arrive

A nice full tummy can help encourage a sleepy, content baby — but don’t worry if baby needs another feed during the session. We can stop anytime.


Keep a bottle nearby

If you’re breastfeeding, having a pumped bottle of milk ready can be incredibly helpful. It means baby can have a quick top-up without you needing to change out of your outfit or pause the flow of the session.


Don’t worry about perfect naps

There’s no need to try to keep baby awake beforehand. Some babies sleep beautifully, while others are more alert — both are completely okay.


Keep the house comfortable

Newborns are happiest when they’re warm and cozy, especially when they’re being photographed in simple outfits or wrapped.


Have a few favourite outfits ready

I love capturing baby both simply and naturally. We can choose a few outfits together and change things up throughout the session.


WHAT I BRING

You don't need to purchase a collection of props or prepare a studio in your home.

I bring a small selection of beautiful newborn pieces, which may include:

  • A sweet baby bed
  • Baskets
  • Soft throws and blankets
  • Simple wraps and accessories

The goal is to keep everything beautiful, timeless and focused on your baby.



WHAT WE'LL CAPTURE

Your session is about more than just posed newborn photos.

We’ll spend time capturing a beautiful mix of:

Baby on their Own

Sweet details, tiny toes, sleepy moments, expressions and those little features you’ll want to remember forever.

Baby with Mom

The cuddles, the connection and the quiet moments between you.

Baby with Dad

The love, the snuggles and those first moments of becoming a dad.

Baby with both parents

Beautiful family portraits that capture your new little family exactly as you are right now.

Grandparents & loved ones

I always try to leave time for the people who are just as excited to meet and love your baby. If grandparents are joining us, we’ll make sure they get their own special moments too.

And yes — pets are welcome!

Your furry family members are part of the story too, and I love incorporating them when it feels right.


Most Importantly...

You don't need to know what you're doing.

You don't need to pose perfectly.

You don't need a spotless house.

You don't need a perfectly sleeping baby.

I'll guide you through everything.

Your only job is to love on your baby and enjoy these first precious moments together.

I'll take care of the rest.

A relaxed session. A beautiful home. Your baby, exactly as they are.

Because these are the moments you'll want to remember.
