Welcoming a newborn into the world is a life-changing experience — and capturing those tiny toes, sleepy yawns, and soft curls in the first few days is something every parent treasures forever. But as exciting as a newborn photoshoot sounds, we know it can also feel overwhelming when you’re adjusting to your new routine.
At our studio, we believe the experience should be just as beautiful and relaxing as the photos. So here’s everything you need to know to prepare for your baby’s first professional shoot — from what to bring, to how to make the session stress-free and smooth.
🎒 What to Pack for the Photoshoot
Keep it simple! Here’s a quick list of what to bring:
- Diapers & Wipes – Accidents happen (a lot!). Be prepared for quick changes.
- Extra Formula or Breast Milk – A full tummy means a sleepy, happy baby.
- Pacifier – Even if your baby doesn’t usually use one, it can help soothe them between shots.
- Change of Clothes (for you and baby) – Spit-ups or leaks can happen; having backups helps.
- Any sentimental items – A family heirloom, a special blanket, or a name tag can add personal touches.
💡 Pro Tip: Pack everything in one organized diaper bag or tote for easy access.
🕐 Keep Baby Awake Before the Shoot
It may seem counterintuitive, but we recommend keeping your baby awake for 1–2 hours before the session.
- A baby who’s been alert and active will sleep more soundly during the shoot.
- Deep sleep is key for getting those sweet, curled-up poses.
You can give the baby a gentle bath, have some playtime, or even lightly massage them to keep them alert.
🍼 Feed Right Before the Shoot
A freshly fed baby is a happy, sleepy baby! Ideally, plan to feed your newborn right before the session begins.
We’ll give you time in our private feeding lounge if needed. Once your baby is content and full, they’re more likely to settle into deep sleep — which makes the posing smoother and quicker.
👗 What Should Parents Wear?
We often include parents and siblings in a few shots, and we want you to look and feel great. Here are some clothing tips:
- Choose neutral, pastel, or earthy tones – soft colors photograph best.
- Avoid loud patterns, logos, or bright colors that might distract.
- Solid white, beige, blush, or soft gray tops work well for timeless, elegant photos.
- Moms: flowy dresses or tops are flattering and comfortable.
- Dads: plain tees or shirts with rolled sleeves give a clean, minimal look.
We want all the attention on the connection between you and your baby — not the clothes.
