Rhode Island Newborn Photographer | What to bring to a newborn session
Help!
Many parents ask what they need to bring to their newborn session with Aimee Elizabeth Photography. The short answer- not a whole lot! I provide the best quality props, handmade outfits, luxurious wraps, and one-of-a-kind headbands. I pride myself on my collection of props and my clients love them too!
I do provide all my clients with a newborn prep guide so they know what to do to prepare and what to expect during their session. Here are some highlights!
Be sure baby is fully fed prior to arrival (but bring bottles or be prepared to nurse if baby needs it)
Try to avoid having diaper ointment visible on baby's skin. If you do use it regularly, be sure to clean any off prior to your session.
Please remove any bandaids (and sticky residue) from baby prior to the session. Baby oil works great for bandaid removal!
Dress baby in loose fitting clothing and a loosely fastened diaper prior to their session. No tight socks!
Even if your baby doesn’t typically use a pacifier, I ask that you bring one as they serve as a wonderful distraction for the baby during the session. They are incredibly helpful in keeping your little one happy when moving from pose to pose. Please bring a soft pacifier, such as the "Soothie" brand (without the stuffed animal attached). Pacifiers with a hard outer shell leave marks on the baby’s face.
This is just a snippet of whats included in my prep guide! Have more questions? Never hesitate to ask! I'd much rather you arrive confident and feeling prepared versus unsure and nervous!
