3 Insider Tips for a Seamless In-Home Newborn Session
Timing is Everything: Wait to schedule your session until after your little one arrives. Birth experiences and recovery times vary, and you'll want to feel settled before the camera comes out. This flexible approach also helps if unexpected situations arise, such as your baby needing a biliblanket.
Chasing the Light: Scout your home for the best natural light. South-facing windows are ideal, while north-facing ones can be tricky. Popular photo locations include the living room, nursery, and main bedroom. Watch how the light changes throughout the day in these spaces and schedule accordingly. Remember, natural light is key – skip the lamps and overhead lights to avoid unflattering color casting on your skin.
Happy Baby, Happy Photos. Take a look at 3 these tips for keeping baby happy:
If possible, keep your baby awake before a morning or early afternoon session. A sleepy baby often means calm, peaceful photos.
Feed your little one right before we start, whether by breast or bottle. A full tummy usually leads to a content and relaxed baby.
Warm up your home, especially for winter babies or if we're shooting in light clothing. A cozy baby tends to sleep more soundly, making for better photos.
