How I Keep Your Newborn Safe During a Studio Session

As a newborn photographer with over 14 years of experience, the safety and comfort of your baby is always my top priority.

I know how nerve-wracking it can feel to hand your tiny newborn over to someone new — especially when they’re just a few days old. That’s why I’ve built my entire process around creating a calm, clean, and safe environment where you can feel completely at ease, and your baby can be cozy, secure, and content.

Here’s exactly what I do to keep your newborn safe during their photo session:

1. A Clean, Sanitized Studio for Every Session

Before every newborn session, I thoroughly clean and sanitize all surfaces, props, wraps, and equipment. I use baby-safe, fragrance-free cleaners and keep everything freshly laundered. You’ll never find shared, unwashed items in my space.

I also wash my hands regularly throughout your session and wear a mask if requested or during flu/cold season. Cleanliness is a non-negotiable part of the process — especially with little ones.

2. Gentle, Baby-Led Posing

Your baby’s safety always comes first — which means I never force a pose that your baby isn’t comfortable with. Every session is baby-led, which means we take breaks as needed for feeding, soothing, or just a snuggle in your arms.

I’ve trained extensively in safe newborn posing techniques — including proper head and neck support, spotting for balance, and composite editing when necessary (like in froggy poses). I know how to recognize baby cues and adjust gently.

3. A Comfortable, Warm Environment

Babies love to be warm and snuggled, so I keep the studio at a cozy temperature to help them feel sleepy and relaxed. I also use white noise to mimic the womb and create a calm atmosphere — you might even find yourself dozing off during the session too!

4. Experience You Can Trust

With over 14 years photographing newborns, I’ve handled just about every situation — from wide-awake babies to extra-sensitive little ones. You can feel confident knowing that your baby is in calm, capable hands.

I take my role seriously — not just as a photographer, but as someone trusted to care for your brand-new family member. I’m always gentle, patient, and attentive to your baby’s unique needs.

5. You’re Welcome to Stay Involved

Some parents want to sit back and relax, others prefer to stay close and watch — both are completely welcome! You’ll never be asked to leave the room or feel like you can’t be involved.

I’m here to make this a stress-free, memorable experience for the whole family.
