what to pack for your newborn photos


I can't wait to meet your little for their newborn session! We have a full client closet of props, wraps, blankets, and accessories to yield beautiful photos of your family's new addition. Below are some of my top tips for what to pack for day of.


  • Of course - diapers, wipes, bottles/formula if applicable, extra clothes in case of accidents, face wipes and a hair brush if you prefer your own, and pacifiers.
  • We recommend a couple of pacifiers just in case.
  • Any lovey (stuffed animal, baby blanket, wrap that you really love) that you may want to incorporate for your session.
  • If taking a family portrait, you are welcome to bring a change of clothes for comfort. You are welcome to the lounge room while we are working with your baby in studio.
  • If we are doing wrapped poses with baby, go ahead and put he/she in zippered pajamas to make it easier to remove clothing.
  • When in doubt - bring it! It's better to have too much than to wish you had brought that blanket Great Aunt Virginia made for your baby.
