Mistakes to Avoid When Preparing for In-home Newborn Photos near Amarillo, Texas

Stress - One crucial mistake to steer clear of is stress. For newborn photos, our in-home sessions offer you the opportunity to unwind in the familiarity of your own space while we capture these priceless moments. I understand the challenges of caring for a newborn while striving for perfection in every detail, and my goal is to alleviate that pressure, allowing you to simply enjoy the experience in a chill, relaxed atmosphere during our sessions.

Skipping Breakfast - The majority of my in-home newborn sessions are held early to mid-morning when the sun is at its brightest. It can be overwhelming with a newborn and eating and staying hydrated might be the last thing on your mind. Please don’t forget to eat breakfast and drink water before the session. If you need to snack throughout the session that is okay. I nursed both of my daughters and I will never forget how hungry I was all the time. It can feel like our babies are sucking the life out of us.

Overfeeding your baby to help fall asleep - Overfeeding your newborn baby can cause an upset stomach and we don’t want that. I can’t stress enough that your baby will lead the session. Meaning I have my workflow and process of photographing your baby, but if at any moment your baby isn’t comfortable I will pivot to ensure the comfort and safety of your baby. Most newborns sleep most of the day anyway so please don’t feel like you have to feed your baby before the session to help with sleepiness, if it’s feeding time please feed your baby but do not change feeding schedules to account for your session.
