Your Go-To Packing List for a Smooth Newborn Shoot
🍼 For the Baby:
Diapers & Wipes – Bring more than you think you’ll need.
Extra Outfits – A couple of neutral, well-fitting onesies (avoid logos or bright colors).
Favorite Blanket or Swaddle – Especially if it has sentimental value or a nice texture.
Pacifier – Even if your baby doesn’t usually use one, it can help soothe them during posing.
Bottles or Breastfeeding Essentials – Be prepared for feeding breaks.
Burp Cloths – Just in case.
👨👩👧 For the Parents and Siblings:
Neutral Clothing – Soft, solid tones (such as white, beige, light grey, and muted pastels) work best. Avoid logos, patterns, or bold colors.
Simple Accessories – Keep jewelry minimal and elegant.
Snacks and Water – Especially for toddlers and nursing moms.
Quiet Toys or Books – For siblings to stay entertained while they wait.
🧺 Optional but Helpful:
Heirlooms or Sentimental Items – A knitted blanket from grandma? A special stuffed animal? We can include them!
Makeup Touch-Up Kit – A little powder or lip gloss goes a long way for camera-ready faces.
Hairbrush or Comb
Tips for a Smooth Session
Try to keep the baby awake for 1–2 hours before the session if possible, and feed them right before you leave or upon arrival.
