A baby ready for good sleep will ensure an easier session with more variety! Sleeping babies are much easier to position and style. Following these key steps before your session will help your baby relax in preparation for being photographed.

1. Keep baby awake: Please do not let your baby sleep the hour before you leave for your session. Interact with them, feed them, give them a bath, etc. The sleepier the better!

2. Full Tummy: A hungry baby is a fussy baby, so make sure your baby is well fed just before you arrive. A feeding can be done at the beginning of the session if needed to get baby asleep. The easiest way to ensure a sleepy baby is the willingness to feed off and on between setups.

3. Simple clothing: Please dress your baby in clothing that can be easily removed when you arrive at my studio.

4. Soothing: I recommend the use of a pacifier to help keep baby asleep while being posed/positioned. Of course if you prefer we don't use one, that's fine as well.

The key to a successful newborn session is patience! I am more than happy to take as many breaks as needed for feedings and cuddles to make your baby comfortable. I am very calm, patient, focused and friendly and I never ever rush a session! I love getting to know you and your kids during our time together. I ask that parents sit back and relax while I photograph your baby.

I make the environment as calm and soothing as possible for your newborn with use of a space heater and white noise.
