Baby photoshoot tips
Would you like to book a photoshoot with your baby but do not know where to start? I am here for you to give you some tips.
- Choose the right time – the best time to plan the baby photoshoot is between the abbys naps.
- Full belly – make sure your baby is fed before you come for your photosession. Sometimes you can feed your baby in the photostudio. If not, do not forget to feed him/her before your leave your home.
- Pacifier – do not forget to bring the pacifier. When your baby gets upset, you can use it for a minute to calm him/her down.
- Extra diapers – babys poop at the most inconvieniet times. So be ready if that happens.
- Clothes – disscuss the clothing with your photographer before the shoot. Or look for the clothes that will be matching with you or the style you are going for. Some photographers provide also clothes for the babies. Check out my client closet.
- Favorite toys, songs – you can nevr be prepared enough for the photoshoot with a small baby. It is always a surprise how the photoshoot will go. In case your baby is not willing to smile, you can try to steal some smiles by playing with the favorite toy, or playing their favorite songs. More advaced is to perform the dance and singing yourself while holding the favorite toys;)
- Choose a photographer that is flexible – babies get sick often, or their sleep schedule changes or they wake up super cranky. Disscuss the possibilities of rescheduling or moving the time with your photographer.
- Prepare everyting the day before – the morning before the photoshoot you might be super busy. So make sure your bag is packed and you can just make yourslef and your baby ready and go.
- Do not stress out – Enjoy the photoshoot. Sometimes it takes time for the baby to get used to the photostudio, the photographer and the whole idea of being stared at with this weird light shining on them. When you are stressed, your baby will be too. So relax and have fun.
