newborn session prep guide

 Hello!  Thank you so much for choosing me to photograph your new precious little bundle. I aim to give you the most beautiful experience capturing all the fine details of your baby from the tiny fingers and toes, to their first windy smiles.

The session will last for approximately 2-4 hours depending on baby, my sessions are baby led giving plenty of time for feeding, changing and comforting, keeping your baby as relaxed and sleepy as possible. 

Things to consider before the session:

· Try to keep baby as active as possible for an hour before session play, talk to or even give a nice bath.

· Plan to feed baby right before you leave for the session or if traveling  a long distance plan to feed on arrival.

· During the journey to the session, please dress baby in loose clothing or sleepsuit so baby’s skin doesn’t have clothing marks during the session.

· To ensure baby is cosy and sleepy the studio will be very warm (70-80®). I recommend everyone dress in layers.

Things to bring with you:

· Please ensure you bring enough feeds if formula fed.

· Dummy (if you use one) does really help to settle baby during transitioning poses.

· Nappies and wipes.

· A blanket to wrap baby between poses.

· Any snacks for yourself (tea, coffee, water and biscuits will be provided).

· A book/ iPad or anything you may like to bring to pass the time and relax a little. 

Thank you very much again for choosing me at this special and memorable time , I look forward to meeting you and your little one very soon.

Yours sincerely
