Newborn Props & Guidelines

Newborn in-studio Guideline:

  • 2 hrs prior to your departure to my studio – try to keep your baby awake for at least 45 mins.
  • Dress baby in front zipper PJs (no layers, easier for me to undress the baby without waking them up).
  • Feed baby before you left your house.
  • Bring a pacifier, and an extra bottle (if the baby is bottle-fed).
  • Park in my driveway – 508 Beedle Dr. Ames, IA 50014

In-home newborn guideline:

  • 2 hrs before my arrival at your house try to keep your baby awake for at least 45 mins.
  • Undressed baby down to diaper only, wrap them in a warm blanket.
  • Feed baby.
  • We will do a family photo first and then a baby solo photo.
  • Try to keep your house warm that usually helps the baby relax & sleep better for the session.

Please let me know which color swaddle you’d like me to bring for your newborn session (1 color for the family photo & 2 for the baby solo photo)
