Newborn session tips

April 19, 2020

For best results in newborn photography bring your baby in within the first two weeks of their arrival. The first week is even better. Do what you can.

Newborn sessions can be challenging. They can take up to 3 hours, however, most take about two hours.

Some key points:

  • Relax. Babies can pick up on stress. If baby cries, fusses or has “accidents”, don’t worry about it. We’ve seen it all. Patience is key!
  • The studio will be set up for maximum baby comfort. This means lighting, heat and sounds.
  • Give your baby a long luxurious bath before heading out the studio. Then rub olive oil all over their bodies. This helps reduce flaky skin and relaxes them. Make it fun and play time. Try to keep them awake until you arrive at the studio
  • Feed your baby just before arriving or as soon as you arrive. A well fed baby is a happy baby.
  • If nursing or bottle feeding breastmilk, try to eliminate caffeine from your diet for 72 hours prior to your session.
  • Bring the babies soother if they use one.
  • Loosen your baby’s diaper and clothing at least 30 minutes before the session. This gives those imprint marks time to disappear. (You baby will be naked in most of the shots, but we pose them so that all the “important bits” are not on display.)
  • Dress baby in a button/zip up outfit, ideally nothing that goes over baby’s head so if they’re sleepy when you arrive we don’t disturb them too much
  • Safety first. We won’t do anything that will place your baby at risk.

May 13, 2019 By robprov Leave a Comment

She’s worked on some murals with a few world renown artists who’ve been in Sudbury creating murals for upfest. But this is her first solo job. It’s on the building, facing West onto Lorne St, behind our studio, which is on Hazel St. Danielle calls it Esperanza, which means hope. It’s an homage to the […]

Babies love to snuggle up close. And mom’s love to hold their babies up close so they can. To me, there is nothing more natural and artistically simple when it comes to posing babies… With parents….they way it looks best…
