How to Prepare for your Newborn Session

Newborn Session Checklist

Clothing 👶

Your baby’s bare skin is the most beautiful “outfit” for portraits — newborn clothes often don’t photograph well. Please bring along any soft blankets or wraps you’d like to use during the session. For parents joining the photos, we recommend simple, long-sleeve solid black tops. Also, make sure your nails are trimmed and neat, as your hands will be in close-up shots when holding your baby.

Personal Mementos 🧸

Meaningful items like special blankets, handmade gifts, or a classic stuffed animal can add a lovely, personal touch to your session. Feel free to bring along any sentimental pieces you’d like included.

Feedings 🍼

Newborn sessions typically run 1–2 hours and include one or two longer breaks for feedings. Please bring whatever you need to keep your baby comfortable and happy: extra bottles, pumped breast milk or formula, and plenty of burp cloths.

Props & Accessories 🎀

We love using personal accessories to make your session unique! Feel free to browse Pinterest for inspiration, but please choose items that are delicate and appropriately sized for your little one — oversized props can overwhelm small newborns in photos.
