HOW TO PREPARE FOR A NEWBORN SESSION?
The newborn session is a special event, as it usually involves the baby’s first trip out of the house, their first trip to a new place after arriving home. And for you, the new mother, a photo session and leaving home with your baby is a new challenge full of emotions.
During a newborn session, perhaps the most important thing is your comfort, peace and trust that your treasure is in the experienced hands of a professional newborn photographer. A good mood and a positive attitude are a guarantee that your little one will feel safe, be tranquil and submit to gentle positioning in all the newborn poses. So make sure that on that day (as well as the day before) you prepare properly for our meeting.
SPAKUJ TORBĘ Z PODSTAWOWYMI AKCESORIAMI DLA NOWORODKA:
- Dummy – the simplest Aventa model 0-1 month will be ideal (it is light, has a small shape and even lazy children can hold it in their mouths),
- min. 4 tetras (preferably ones you won’t feel sorry for if they get dirty with poo),
- min. 3 pampers,
- a blanket (ideally one that is smooth, not knitted – such blankets tend to get imprinted on naked skin when feeding or cuddling)
- wet wipes,
- cream/bottom lotion,
- gauze pads + saline for washing your eyes,
- feeding accessories (if you are breast-feeding – take a bottle with expressed milk; if you are breast-feeding with mm – milk, bottle and possibly water in a thermos jug for preparing the mixture),
- Change of clothes for the baby (in case the outfit the baby came in is dirty on the way or during changing),
- medicines, e.g. for colic, if the child takes them (e.g. espumisan, sab simplex etc.).
PREPARE CLOTHES FOR YOURSELF:
- dress comfortably for the session, in light clothes (it will be very warm) which do not restrict your movements and allow you to breastfeed freely
- pack outfits for family photos (I take photos from the waist up, so appropriate shirts/t-shirts will suffice) in similar colours, without inscriptions, intensive patterns (for photos on black background: black, navy blue, dark grey; for photos on white background: light, white, cream, powder colours)
- a spare set of socks (in case you have to pee during the family photos)
GET READY FOR FAMILY PHOTOS:
take care of your manicure,
there is a possibility to do a professional make-up and hairstyle (option paid additionally, needs to be arranged in advance), if you prefer to take care of it yourself – please bring make-up products to the session,
A newborn session lasts approximately 3 – 3.5 hours. Snacks, hot and cold drinks are available in the studio, but if you are breastfeeding I suggest you bring something to snack on with you.
