Naturally you want to save these memories not only in your head but in photos.<\/p>\n

Here are some tips on how to prepare for your Newborn baby shoot:<\/p>\n
For the Mommies:<\/strong><\/p>\n I know! You just had a baby and aren\u2019t feeling your best. But we think this is the perfect time to pamper yourself! For the Daddies:<\/strong><\/p>\n Your hands, and possibly even your feet, will play a major role in this session, so it\u2019s important that you tend to them too!![\"a-15\"](\"http:\/\/home.stephywong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/23\/newborn-preparation\/A-15-721x1024.jpg\")

\nGo have your hair + makeup done (or better yet, have someone come to you!), schedule a massage or have your nails done. Looking super relaxed and at your best will make you feel more comfortable during the session. This is an exciting time in your life and we want to capture all of that\u2026so take care of yourself first! And feel free to tell your husbands that we\u2019re making you if they need a little convincing!\u00a0 As far as clothing? Keep it simple. Throw in a little color if you\u2019d like, but skip the busy patterns. (And please don\u2019t feel the need to match everyone in white shirts and jeans \u2013 there\u2019s simple\u2026and then there\u2019s boring!) For moms, we suggest cotton knit camis and knit tops.\u00a0 We\u2019re also big fans of skin-on-skin portraits with you holding your baby against you. They\u2019re so simple + timeless! So if you want some portraits like this with your newborn, consider a strapless top or tank as an alternative.<\/p>\n

\nEven if you aren\u2019t planning on participating much in the session, you\u2019ll still be handling your baby a bit, so it\u2019s a good idea to touch up on your grooming.
\nTrim and tidy your nails and apply lotion to any dry skin. (It also never hurts to dab a little moisturizer on your face to help you look more refreshed. Those late nights can take a toll on your skin!)
\nLong or short sleeved knits are best. \u00a0(Make sure there isn\u2019t too much bagginess in the sleeve.) Undershirts also work well.
\nWe suggest you NOT wear button down shorts, and make sure your t-shirts are free of logos or too much writing. *Wrinkles do show up in photos, so please make sure all clothing is ironed or steamed. The retouching involved is extensive and will incur an extra fee.<\/p>\n
