Baby Notes
Some tips for you baby session
Quite often brand new Mums and Dads aren't quite sure what to expect when they come for their very first photo session. I have put together some tips which I hope will be of help.
Your new born session can take place either in my studio room or at your own home. If you come to me we will have access to all the props, blankets etc. which are available. If I come to you I will bring a smaller selection of items but still more than plenty to give your images variety. As our Scottish weather doesn't always allow for window light I will also bring some lighting with me and of course the all important bean bag. It is amazing just how much I can fit into my little car !
It is often best to arrange your session for mid morning as this is the time most tiny babies are more settled. Allow up to two to three hours as your wee one will most likely want to stop for feeding, changing or simply a cuddle from Mum. If having the session at my home, don't worry as I will have plenty of tea, coffee, herbal tea and snacks available for you ! For most of the time you will be able to relax and enjoy your session. You are in control at all times when I am photographing your baby and he/she will always be within reach of you. Your baby's safety is my top priority.
If possible it is best to keep your baby awake for an hour or so before the session although I appreciate that this is not always possible. It is also a good idea to try to keep a feed for just before the session. Hopefully your baby will be much more settled and sleepy with a cosy, full tummy. The room is always very warm so please bear that in mind when choosing clothing for you and your baby.
We will discuss before hand which colour blankets, hats etc. that you would prefer. If you prefer to have a much more simple approach without props that is fine too. A simple white babygrow or vest can be just as cute. If your baby uses a dummy to settle then please do bring it with you. Like wise if you have any special teddies, toys or blankets which you would like to include.
These are just a few simple tips to help with your session but on the day your baby may have their own agenda. The session is always relaxed and we will always work at your baby's pace. If on the day your baby isn't happy to settle during the session or even if you have had a wakeful night and would prefer to re schedule then we can simply do just that. The resulting images of your new born will be a memory to treasure for ever.
