SLEEP

Try to stimulate and keep baby awake for about an hour before session. Those poses are much more manageable to do when baby is relaxed. Another way to keep baby awake is a long sponge bath an hour before the session. Please don't stress if things don't go as planned sometimes babies do what they want and we will still get wonderful photos.

FEEDING

Please try to feed baby before the beginning of the session. When you arrive you are free to do so. If you feed them before headed over you can top baby off. I like the term " Milk Drunk" Meaning your baby eats and falls deep to sleep. You know your baby best so some of these things might not fit into your day and that is ok.

The Session

Be aware the studio is very warm for the sake of the baby so dress in layers. Your welcome to change once you arrive or when we start the family portion of the session. I do like to start with siblings then parents unless baby is nice and sleepy. If baby is nice and calm we my start with them! We will discuss selection of colors your little ones setups and if you have anything you have seen that you love please send it my way!. Avoid neon hues and black as your main color. Neutrals are best for family!
