One of the first questions I’m always asked by parents is, “What should I bring to my newborn session?” At Photography by Brooke I understand how stressful packing up your brand new baby and bringing them to the studio can be. Being a new parent, even if this isn’t your first baby, is hard! Your body is recovering, you’re getting to know a brand new human, no one is sleeping, it’s a lot. And I get it. That’s why I want to make your session as low stress and easy on you as possible.

What you should bring to your newborn session:

  • Diapers (2-3 should do)

  • Wipes

  • Formula or pumped breast milk

  • Pacifier

  • One special item to incorporate into your session (optional)

That’s it! I will provide the rest for you! While it doesn’t seem like a long list of items, when you’re running late it’s easy to forget one, or all of them. My studio has you covered. I always keep some extra newborn diapers, wipes and pacifiers on hand for my clients.

Additional items I provide at my studio for your session:

  • Newborn outfits

  • Wraps

  • Props (beds, buckets, chairs, etc.)

  • Backdrops

  • Misc decor

  • Snack basket

  • Water

  • Toys for siblings to play with during the session

I want your session to go as smoothly and as stress free for my families as possible. If there’s something I can do to help you be more comfortable, just ask!
