If you want to know how to prepare for your newborn photo session, follow every single thing Lyria’s mom did. This baby slept so well through each and every pose that it was like posing a doll! To maximize the beautiful poses of a photo session, there are a few things parents can do. 1. Make sure your baby is very tired by keeping them up all morning until you arrive at the studio. 2. Feed them right before you leave your house so the posing can begin immediately. 3. Stay off to the side or even leave the room while your baby is being posed. It’s amazing to see a baby stir from deep sleep the minute her mom comes near. 4. Bring a pacifier for soothing in between poses. 5. Stay calm and relaxed all morning and try not to stress as you’re leaving the house. Babies are so tuned in to emotions. 6. The photo session is 3-4 hours long, so it’s a perfect break for you to read, nap, email, pretend you’re at the spa while your baby is in good hands.
