What to Bring to Your Newborn Photoshoot (A Calm, Simple Checklist)

Newborn sessions are designed to be calm and unhurried — and you don’t need to bring much. Here’s a simple checklist to help you feel prepared.

Bring these essentials

• Milk/formula and anything you normally use for feeding

• A spare outfit for baby (and a spare top for you — just in case)

• Nappies, wipes, and a muslin cloth

• A dummy/pacifier if you use one

• Any sentimental item you’d love included (optional)

What to wear (parents + siblings)

• Neutral, soft tones photograph beautifully.

• Avoid large logos and busy patterns.

• Comfort first — you’ll be cuddling your baby a lot.

What I provide in the studio

• A warm, private studio environment

• A selection of wraps/props (chosen with safety and comfort in mind)

• Time for feeds, cuddles, and settling
