Newborn - What to Expect
Newborn Photography Session
We provide newborn photographer services to the Hattiesburg, Mississippi area.The length of the Newborn session depends on the package you purchase. Sometimes we finish earlier and sometimes run over. It all depends on how your baby is feeling that day. I recommend not scheduling any other appointments immediately after your session in case we run over.
After the birth of your baby, please do call or email me so we can schedule your session right away. Please bring a pacifier as they help to get babies to sleep and soothe them. If you have one (even if your child won’t take it), please bring it to the session as it may help me. I always pull the pacifier out before taking photos.
When you arrive at your session, I will have the studio set up to start with the posed shots. It’s VERY important to read the prep guide (I will email this to you) before you come, taking the proper steps before arriving at the studio can help ensure a smooth session. We will do all of the posed shots of your baby then move onto family and sibling shots at the end.
Most newborn photos are done in that birthday suit, a swaddle, or a diaper cover. Clothes can be bulky and may cover-up that newness. But, a naked baby is also a cold baby. Before shooting newborn photos, I use a small space heater to warm the area up. The baby is less likely to fuss if the temperature is comfortable. Of course, that means you’ll probably be uncomfortable, so wear layers you can remove as the room heats up.
Lastly, we have everything needed for your newborn session — hats, bonnets, outfits, fancy wraps, and props. If there is a sentimental item you would like included, please let me know ahead of time so that I can plan a setup around the item.
