How to Prepare Your Newborn for a Photoshoot?

Writer: Tatiana BurlutskayaTatiana Burlutskaya

To ensure a smooth and comfortable session while capturing the most precious moments, here are some helpful tips:


šŸ¼ The Day Before the Session


āœ” Moisturize your babyā€™s skin ā€“ Apply a gentle baby lotion or coconut oil, especially if there are any dry or flaky areas.

āœ” Trim your babyā€™s nails ā€“ Newborns often have long nails and may accidentally scratch themselves. Trim them or gently file them with a soft baby nail file.

ā³ Before the Photoshoot


1ļøāƒ£ Feed your baby right before the session šŸ¼ ā€“ A well-fed baby is calm and more likely to sleep soundly during the photoshoot. Try to feed them just before the session begins.


2ļøāƒ£ Keep your baby awake for about 1 hour before the session ā° ā€“ A bath, diaper change, or gentle massage can help tire them out so they sleep deeply during the shoot.


3ļøāƒ£ Dress your baby in just a diaper šŸ‘¶ ā€“ This makes it easier to change outfits and get them ready for the session without disturbing their sleep.


4ļøāƒ£ Choose loose clothing without over-the-head fastenings šŸ‘• ā€“ A zip-up or button-up onesie is best so it can be removed easily without waking the baby.


5ļøāƒ£ Keep the room warm šŸŒ”ļø ā€“ Set the temperature to around 77Ā°F to ensure your baby stays cozy and comfortable, even without clothes.


6ļøāƒ£ Stay relaxed and enjoy the moment šŸ’• ā€“ Babies can sense their parentsā€™ emotions, so trust your photographer and cherish this special time!
