Introduction:
Capturing the first days of your newborn’s life is a priceless moment. At Live Stories Photography, we understand how important these memories are and how stressful it can be to prepare for the perfect photoshoot. That’s why we’ve put together some essential tips to help you get ready for your baby’s big day in front of the camera.
1. Timing is Everything
For newborn photos, the best time to schedule your session is within the first two weeks of life. Babies are sleepier and easier to pose, which helps us capture those adorable, peaceful shots. At Live Stories Photography, we recommend booking your session while you’re still pregnant to ensure availability!
2. Keep the Baby Comfortable
Your baby’s comfort is our top priority. Before the session, make sure the room is warm, and have some favorite blankets or toys on hand. This helps keep your baby relaxed and calm, which leads to those perfect cuddly photos.
3. Dress the Baby Simply
Less is more! Simple, soft clothing or even just a diaper can make for the sweetest pictures. We also love using neutral colors that keep the focus on your baby’s delicate features. Don’t worry—our studio is fully stocked with adorable wraps, outfits, and accessories to choose from.
4. Plan Around Feeding and Nap Times
A well-fed, rested baby is a happy baby! Try to feed your newborn right before the session, so they’re sleepy and content. We’ll take breaks as needed to keep your little one comfortable.
5. Include Family in the Photos
Some of the most cherished shots are those that include parents and siblings. These family moments help tell the full story of your newborn’s arrival and make for beautiful keepsakes. We’ll guide you on how to pose naturally with your newborn.
Conclusion:
At Live Stories Photography, we are dedicated to creating timeless images that capture the beauty and innocence of your newborn. With these tips in mind, you’re ready for a successful, stress-free photoshoot. Contact us today to book your session and let’s create memories that will last a lifetime!
