5 Tips for your Newborn Photography Session

Newborn Photography 5 best tips for your session planning

.

You are pregnant and tired. Well maybe you are not tired. 🙂 When you are pregnant you are overwhelmed with choices. Everywhere you look you see 5 tips for how to raise your babies. Well, newborn photography should be an easy choice. I have created 5 newborn photography tips for you for your newborn session. These tips you can use to prepare before your newborn photography session.

.

Tip #1

RELAX.

I know that one seems like a cheating tip, right? But as you know your baby will be comforted by you. And if you are stressed then your baby will sense that.

Tip #2

WATCH WHAT YOU EAT.

Prior to your photography session watch what you eat. Pretty much only if you are nursing. If not, skip to #3. During all of your newborn research you know that certain foods can upset your babies stomach. The day before your session don’t try a new food that might upset their stomach. Cabbage, spicy foods, sometimes dairy are all known to react a little to newborns tummies.

Tip #3

PLAN AHEAD.

Know that many newborn photographers in Dallas book their sessions months in advance. I typically start booking sessions in the D/FW area when mom’s are 3-6 months along. For me, I want each session to have my full attention and dedication. Don’t think contacting a photographer is too early. Also, don’t forget to get back to them. One of the worst parts of being a photographer is when a client forgets to respond and then looses a once open spot.

Tip #4

KNOW THAT BABIES ARE UNPREDICTABLE

If you have your heart set on a certain newborn pose please let your photographer know. But also realize that we work with babies. If a newborn does not want to do a certain pose I will not force it. EVER. Their safety is more important that one certain pose. But don’t worry, I have never had a session that didn’t have beautiful images that the parents have loved.

Tip #5

RELAX

Yes, again. It will be ok! And it will be hot in the room, so being stressed and hot never goes well together. Do you have any questions? Ask. That is my job! To answer all important newborn questions.
