Setting Up for Your Newborn Photoshoot

How to Prepare Your Space for the Perfect Photoshoot

1. Time and Equipment Setup:
  ○ We will need about 30 minutes to set up our photography equipment upon arrival.
  ○ Plan for us to be at your location for at least 2 hours or more, depending on the number of photos requested and the circumstances of the session.

2. Preparing the Space:
  ○ Ensure there is a vacant area for the photoshoot, ideally near a source of natural light.
  ○ Move any furniture as needed to create space before we arrive to help streamline the setup.
  ○ Keep the space warm and cozy to ensure your baby stays comfortable throughout the session.

4. Clothing and Outfit Options:
