One of our shoots for this week was with 10 day old Lily who was absolutely adorable. Ben and Amy were undecided about a newborn photo shoot and called me a few days after Lily arrived. Thankfully we keep a couple days off each week and used one of those. Sue and I are really lucky because if we end up working on a day off we almost always make up for it afterwards so its great to be flexible.
Once Ben and Amy arrived we set about settling Lily which took a little while and at one point Dad was going into a panic. But once again our patience paid off and after a quiet hour she drifted off to sleep.
We had the most amazing shoot with Lily using all of our baskets, she was a tiny 6lb 7oz baby so fitted just about everything.
After an outfit change we took a few shots as a family and a few with mum and then dad.
Perfect little baby and pretty perfect photo shoot too.
What do we bring to a newborn photoshoot?
This is our most common question with new mums. Well Sue and I have a huge studio full of beautiful baskets, swings and beanbag props for new babies. We also have all the little outfits that you see on our website, we have 2 of most for twins too. We also have a few soft toys and lots of special blankets and rugs. We have full changing facilities too and a Mummy and Baby room although we are 100% happy for you to change and feed baby in the comfort of the studio whilst having a cuppa from our free and pretty cool coffee machine or indeed catching up on facebook with our free wifi.
So to answer the question. Extra nappies is always a great idea, probably for a couple of years not just the photoshoot 😂 Plus extra milk, if your feeding baby yourself then its not a problem but if you bottle feed either full time or even just at night then its handy to bring some spare milk because newborns sometimes take a bottle easier in a strange environment. Other than that we are all covered.
How do you create the right environment for a newborn shoot?
