Newborn Session – What to bring

You have scheduled your newborn photo session. Now you are ready to leave, but you are not so sure on what you will need during to your photo session. Let me show you what I share my clients.

I always send a text message the day before to confirm the time and day, and also to share a helpful checkoff list. It can be extremely overwhelming, especially for first time parents, to leave the house most of the time as their first outing after coming home from the hospital.

So what will you need to bring with you to your newborn baby’s session?

• Any special item that you would like to incorporate. For example, in the images below, the yellow blanket and the little bumble bee outfit were brought my mom. They were special because the blanket was made by grandma and the little outfit was a gift given at her “what will it BEE?” themed baby shower. I was happy to include those items. Everything else used were provided by me. ——BUT what if you don’t have anything. No problem. Over the past 14 years, I’ve collected lots of props, accessories, outfits, and wraps. ——BUT how do I, the photographer, know what to use? I have all my clients fill out a questionnaire, so I will have all information on what to pull out of my closet and off my shelves.
• Extra bottles if the baby is bottle-fed.
• Food/snacks/drinks for the parents/siblings in case the session lasts longer.
• Pacifier. Even if the baby doesn’t use one yet, it is super helpful in the transitioning between poses. The baby will not get used to it if he/she doesn’t use one yet in the 1-2 hr time, but it can help sooth the baby and make a difference in the time spent during the session.
• Clothing for parents and/or siblings if they are taking part in the session. I always suggest to bring the clothing with you and wear comfortable clothes to hang out in the studio and for traveling.
