A question I get asked a lot is: What do you bring with for a newborn session?
Since I do all of my newborn sessions at your house I tend to bring quite a bit with me. Isn’t there a motto about “always being prepared”? Maybe that is a boy scout motto…but, with newborn babies you can never be too prepared! I’ll walk through what items you’ll see me show up with to your newborn photo session.
- Giant Bean Bag – I use this to pose your little baby on…the bag is large to ensure the safety of your little one
- Backdrop Stand & Clamps – I attach the backdrop (blankets) to the stand in order to create the look you see in the images of my portfolio, clean solid color backgrounds
- Multiple Backdrop blankets – I bring extra blankets just incase an accident happens, which they typically do, so no worries
- Puppy Pads – These are great for catching any accidents when your little one is naked on the bean bag
- A Variety of Color Wraps, Hats & bows, Fur Blanket – I will bring a nice assortment of wraps / hats / bows to use for your newborn photos
- Wooden Box – This is another item to pose your little one in for a nice added variety of photos
- Heater and Extension cords – I use this to keep your baby warm when they are naked…a warm naked baby means a nice sleepy baby
- Baby Wipes – Accidents happen and I want your little one to look their best at every angle
- Hand Sanitizer – Your precious new baby deserves special care
- Receiving blankets – These are used as little pillows under the background blankets to help pose your little one safely and comfortably
- Step stool – I’m short so I need some help in the height department for family photos and a place to sometimes sit when I’m working with your little one to get a perfect pose
- White noise app – A sleepy baby is important to have during your session so I have some extra help if you baby needs it to fall asleep
- Camera – The most important item in my luggage
I know it may seem like I bring a lot of items with me but I use everything and I’ve managed to downsize quite a bit! So please don’t look at me too weird when I show up with my two suitcases and have to take multiple trips to unload my car I promise I’m not moving in, just taking photographs of your little newborn.
