Getting ready for at-home newborn photo sessions in Vancouver

I have been photographing at-home newborn sessions in Vancouver for many years now. Having photos taken during these first few months is undoubtedly a top priority. It's a time that passes all too quickly, and before you know it, your little one will be crawling and walking, and the memories of those first few weeks will be a blur. If you are able to, take the time to plan a newborn photo session that will capture those magical moments and turn them into cherished memories.

At-home newborn sessions are an excellent option for new parents who want to capture those early moments without having to leave their homes. These sessions are ideal for parents who want a more relaxed, intimate setting for their photos, and for babies who are more comfortable in familiar surroundings.

To prepare for your at-home newborn session, there are a few things you can do to ensure everything runs smoothly. First and foremost, make sure your baby is well-fed and rested before the session starts. This will help keep them calm and content during the shoot. If your baby needs to take a break to eat or nap, that's perfectly fine! Remember, this is your session, and we will take as much time as we need to get the shots you want.

It's also important to think about what you and your family will wear during the session. Neutral-coloured clothing is always a safe bet, as it keeps the focus on your baby and creates a timeless look that will stand the test of time. Avoid busy patterns or dark shades and bright colours, as they can be distracting and take away from the natural beauty of your newborn.

Lastly, finding the best light in your home is crucial for creating beautiful photos. Natural light is always the best option, so we'll work together to find the best spot in your home that has plenty of natural light and gives us the perfect backdrop for your photos.

During the session, I'll work closely with you to capture the moments that matter most. I understand that your baby is the star of the show, and I'll take my time to ensure we get photos that will capture your family. Whether it's capturing those tiny toes, the way your baby wrinkles their nose when they smile, or the way they look up at you with those big, beautiful eyes, my goal is to create a collection of images that you'll treasure for years to come.

Preparing for an at-home newborn session is all about taking the time you need to create a comfortable and relaxed environment for your baby and your family. By making sure your baby is well-fed and rested, choosing the right clothing, and finding the best light in your home, you'll be well on your way to creating beautiful, timeless images that you'll cherish for a lifetime!
