Preparing for your newborn session

If you are bottle feeding, please bring plenty of feeds with you. You may not think that you baby would be hungry if he or she has just been fed, but feeding is very comforting for a new baby and this may help in getting baby to sleep. Baby will very often want to feed mid session too.

What you eat will be passed though in your breast milk, so, if possible, please try and avoid any spicy foods and caffeine for 48 hours before your session.  This will stop baby getting an upset tummy and being unsettled during the session.

If possible, please try and ensure that your baby has been kept alert for at least an hour before the session and aim for them to feed once you arrive as this will help them settle to sleep early on.

As most babies hate being undressed, a sleepsuit with buttons down the front is often the easiest option. If you are worried baby will get cold you can put plenty of blankets over them in the car seat. 

Unfortunately we don’t have room for spectators, so only mum, dad (or 1 other Adult) & baby should attend the session unless by prior arrangement.

Please leave the photography up to me. No photos are allowed during the session.

Please let me know if you are running late for your session.

We very much look forward to meeting you at the Studio for your session, Leanne and Mike xx
