TITLE OF BLOG
Welcome to the blog
Welcoming a new baby into the world is one of life’s most precious moments, and capturing those early days with a newborn photography session ensures you’ll have beautiful memories to cherish forever. As a middle Tennessee photographer and a mother myself, I know how overwhelming those first few weeks can be. I want to help you prepare for your session and for it to be as stress-free as possible for you.
Book Your Newborn Session Early
The best time to schedule your newborn photoshoot is during your second trimester to ensure availability. Newborn sessions are typically best when your baby is between 5-14 days old, as this is when they’re sleepiest and easiest to pose. However, I also offer lifestyle sessions for older newborns if you prefer a more natural, baby-led approach.
What to Wear for Your Newborn Photos
Choosing outfits that complement your home or studio setting will create timeless images. I recommend:
For Mom: Soft, neutral tones (cream, ivory, taupe) in flowing dresses or cozy sweaters. Avoid bright colors or busy patterns.
For Baby: A simple swaddle or neutral-colored onesie keeps the focus on your newborn’s tiny features.
For Siblings & Dad: Neutral and coordinating outfits, avoiding logos or loud prints.
Keep Baby Comfortable & Relaxed
Feed baby 20-30 minutes before the session to ensure they’re full and sleepy.
Keep the room warm (around 75-80°F) to help your baby stay cozy.
Have extra diapers & wipes on hand for quick changes.
Enjoy the moments! During newborn sessions, we do our best to keep your baby happy. We plan for feeding, soothing, and cuddling.
What to Expect During Your Newborn Session
Your session will be baby-led, meaning we follow your little one’s needs. Whether they’re sleeping soundly or wide awake, I’ll capture all the tiny details—tiny fingers, sleepy yawns, and snuggles with mom, dad, and siblings.
Your baby will only be this tiny for a very short time, and my goal is to capture the love, joy, and connection between your family. Trust the process, embrace the little moments, and let’s create beautiful memories together! I’d love to capture your newborn photography session and these precious days with your family.
