Plan to feed your baby just before your session. A well fed baby is a happy, content baby.

Please don’t feel stressed if we need to stop to allow your baby time for a feed, change or just a cuddle from mom or dad. We understand that little ones work on their own schedule, not ours.

Also, please don’t panic if your baby goes to the toilet on our items. This is to be expected.  When we can, we use cut up pieces of puppy pee pads to absorb urine.

We clean all of our items and wash all backgrounds and blankets after each session.

We recommend having a change of clothing available for everyone and plenty of diapers and wipes.

Please have a long sleeve black t shirt on hand for yourself and your spouse. This is an important element needed in the process of capturing many popular poses.

Feel free to have items you would like to incorporate ready to use. Family heirlooms or items special to your baby work well.  We love using handmade blankets and quilts made especially for your baby… please bring those!

Clothing for babies should be kept super simple – less is definitely best. Most of the portraits will be done naked or swaddled.

My house, and especially the camera room will be warmed up for the session, with a space heater, heating pad and a sound machine; the heart beat noise and ocean waves are particularly conducive to helping your baby drowse right through the session.

Please make sure that whatever you dress your baby in for traveling here, that it is very loose so as to make those little texture marks not appear when we do start to strip down your baby.
