What to bring to your newborn session

What to bring...

• Food and drinks - An average newborn session will last from 2-3hrs.  It's important for you and family members to stay hydrated and not get hungry so bring along any food and drink you might need during this time. 

• Nappies, wipes and creams - you will no doubt already have these things in your baby bag  

• Milk - your baby will probably feed more often during the session as it will help them settle between shots so please have available plenty of milk supply. 

• Brush - if your baby has lots of hair please bring along a baby hair brush

• Blanket or swaddle - we have lots of wraps, drops etc for use during photos but please bring a cosy blanket from home to wrap them during feeds  

• Dummy - dummies are amazing for soothing between feeds poses. If you are ok for baby to use a dummy, even just for the session, please bring one with you

• Clothing for family members - the studio will be toasty so light layers is the way to go 

• Sentimental items - for 1 or 2 shots (optional)

• Patience - newborn photography cannot be rushed. Some babies settle straight away while others take more time to settle into poses.  

• Toys for siblings - siblings and family photos are usually taken as soon as baby is settled so that they don't need to remain for the entire session.  But, a quiet toy or two is great to keep them entertained while they are in the studio.
