What To Do if Your Baby is Awake During Your In-Home Lifestyle Newborn Session.
If your baby doesn’t sleep, does that mean the session is over? Will it still be cute? Will it still be memorable?
No, yes, and yes!
It’s common for newborn babies to not sleep through their session. They are so young and still so unsettled that they don’t really have a reliable schedule. In my most recent In-Home Newborn session, the baby did not sleep.
What is a guarantee, is that the baby will want to eat! This creates the perfect opportunity for your precious breastfeeding photos. Even if you aren’t breastfeeding, the photos of you feeding your baby a bottle will be so sentimental.
With the baby awake, it really doesn’t change anything. We are still making beautiful art together of your family story as it honestly unfolds in front of the camera. Personally, I think having an awake baby can give more personality to a session.
There are many reasons I shoot mostly In-Home, and of them is the fact that I find the family is so much more comfortable. And comfort is key to taking the beautiful, but honest and relaxed portraits you want. I do baby-led newborn sessions, which means that since I don’t pose baby too much, we can work with the mood of the baby easily.
Did I mention newborns love to eat? And burp? and definitely love to be loved!
Here’s a good quick tip to also mention, that is so easy to do but so easy to forget! Remove anything you don’t want photographed. This can include books, wires, phones, lotions and potions. I find it can be easy to grab a laundry basket before your session and go to each room we will shoot in, and put all the unwanted items in there. Then just put the basket in a closet and when the session is over, you at least know where you put everything.
