Your Home Baby Session

On the day

I will bring throws and wraps in pale/neutral colours and all I need for my mobile studio is clear space in front of natural light, so a large window or ideally a patio door area, similar to the set up below.

Props

I use parents as props too!! This could be an arm, shoulder, hands...babies are always happiest when with their parents and I love the way it gives perspective on how tiny they are! 

If there is anything personal you want included in the photos, like a teddy, a onesie, a blanket, hospital tags etc.. just have them to hand on the day.

Clothing

I recommend parents to wear tops that are plain and neutral in colour, so white/grey/pastel's, basically neutral tones, as these don’t distract from the focus being on baby. Also, wearing dark colours like black or navy will easily show up tiny details like dust and hairs in the photos.

During

Throughout the session I will be getting some of baby on their own, with you as a family and some detail shots of their features like hair, hands, feet all in a very natural way.

Feeds

I set out 2 hours for the session, we won’t be photographing all the way through, as babies usually need little cuddles or feeds throughout the session. 

Awake or Asleep

I never over pose and only use positions baby feels comfortable in, this means your baby can be awake during the session. All we really need them to be is happy and content.

Tip 1

Newborns do not retain heat well so it is important to keep the room warm as your baby will be usually be naked wrapped in a blanket for most of the session.

Tip 2

Babies usually fall asleep once fed, so if possible before the session, please feed your baby in only their nappy (whilst wrapped in a blanket). That way we do not have to undress and disturb their sleep when we start the session

TIP 3

Aim to feed baby just before the session or ideally whilst I am there setting up. Although I understand babies feed on demand when this young, so this is just a guide, it is not essential.
