Tampa Newborn Photography

What you can expect during your newborn photography session & how to prepare for it!

All newborn sessions are done in the morning and at my natural light studio or in your home.
(if at your home)We will be shooting in the room with the most available natural light so make sure the room is clear and clean
Have that room warmed up with a space heater and/or turn your air up so that the room temperature is nice and warm
I will bring a heater and white noise machine should you not have one. If you have one or both of these things let me know so I do not have to bring mine.
Please have some music picked out and turned on in the room (I like white noise and music for as much ambient noise as possible so that nothing disturbs baby)
Keep baby awake for 1-2 hours prior to my arrival. This will insure a nice sleepy baby.
Baby should be only in a diaper when I arrive, that way we do not have to disrupt him/her by undressing them
Have all items that you are interested in using in the shoot out and ready for me to sort through: baskets, blankets, hats, headbands, etc. I bring everything I need, but if you have some personal props make sure you have them at the ready.
Make sure nursery is nice and tidy, should we do photos of baby in there
I also like to do some family shots in your bedroom (if it suits you) Bed being messy is not a problem. These shots are usually in black and white so the messy bed just adds texture.
If you would like to be in images with your baby, make sure to look nice and wear colors that compliment your setting. I suggest beautiful light colors for a soft and gentle look.
I don’t always have an assistant available so I may need help. It would be great if Dad is around – I don’t want Mom to be working too hard.
Be prepared for explosions of all kinds. Poop, pee and spit up may go flying or spraying on anything around. (I get peed on a lot! ) Let’s have burp cloths, wipes and clean up stuff out and ready!
