NEWBORN GUIDE FOR A PERFECT NEWBORN SESSION

scheduling your newborn session...

Let us know within 72 hours of your baby being born!

Please share with us:

  • A NICU Stay

  • Circumcision Date

  • Molding or Marks we need to work around

We try to schedule your session within the 2-3 weeks since birth.

Let us know if there is anything you want to incorporate with your session.

PLEASE TEXT FOR QUESTIONS AT 972-757-0995

before leaving for the session...

Approximately 30-60 minutes before you plan to leave for your session do the following:

  1. Give your baby a bath.  This will keep them awake for a bit and help them to sleep better during the session.  

  2. Right after the bath, put on a diaper only.  

  3. Feed them

  4. Secure them in their carseat.  

  5. Keep baby safe and warm!  If you are able to do this with little to no clothing other than the diaper, wonderful.  If not, feel free to put on a simple snap onesie.  The less we need to remove, the better.

DO NOT LET YOUR BABY SLEEP ALL MORNING!

rules for the session...

  • Baby is the boss!! We make no promises on specific poses as each baby is different. We will do our best!

  • Patience, grasshopper. This isn't magic. It is patience and time. It make take 45 minutes, it may take two hours. We are there for as long as it takes to get a full gallery.

  • Eat, drink, catch a nap. Make sure you are still taking care of you!

  • It will be HOT. Babies like it warm. We try to keep the room around 80-90 degrees. Feel free to step out and get some air. Ignore that we will look like a hot sweaty mess.

  • Poop and pee are normal. We may have your baby naked. It happens.

  • If you don't like something, feel free to speak up! We will certainly use our creative vision, but we welcome your feedback!
