Preparing the parents, the baby, and yourself will make a world of difference to whether you have a good, a great, or a disastrous session.
Preparing Of Clientimportant things to think about, and the first thing we do when parents inquire and make bookings with me. We give them a lot of preparation information to read through. We send it through in a PDF, and then I’ll email it through again and then when they’ve had their baby and we booked the session date, I’ll review it all again. That’s how important it is to get it right.
What Do We Ask Parents To Do?keep the baby awake on the morning of the session,try to time a feed for when they arrive at the studioand don’t use any oils or lotions on the baby on the morning of the sessionbring extra milk for the sessionand bring blankets from homebring is a dummywear loose layers as the studio can get very warmdiscuss ahead of time if siblings will be involved in the shoot at any pointexplain a session could take up to 4 hoursexplain that most of the time will be spent settling the baby rather than photographingPhotographer PreparationUsually, you need your batteries and your cards clear, that kind of thing, but we also heat the room to look warm and the warmer, the better for me, babies aren’t used to being naked, so if you have a lovely warm room, they won’t feel the cold as much. They also can’t control their circulation as well as adults.
So that they will cool down quite quickly, you really do need it quite toasty in there, and I tend to like using a fan heater even in the summer because when you
undress a baby, it’s that warm breeze that blows over them which helps settle them down to sleep.
