Advice for Newborn Sessions

There’s something really special about documenting a new life that’s just come into this world. Newborns are innocent, tiny, and irresistibly cute!  Schedule in your newborn session with the mom-t0-be based around her due date, since the ideal time to do these sessions is when they’re 5 to 10 days old.  Within these few days, they are the sleepiest they’ll ever be.  This flexibility allows you as the photographer to mold them into lots of cute poses.  Newborn sessions typically take place in the baby’s nursery, so first I turn off any artificial lights in the room, since I like to use as much available natural light as possible.  Some other suggestions would be to keep the nursery slightly warm in temperature, wrap soft blankets around the baby and maybe even utilize heating pads to keep them warm and cozy.  Make sure their bellies are full, too.  Hopefully this advice will help your newborn session go nice & smoothly.
