Your newborn session is such a special time—capturing those sweet, tiny details before your little one grows in the blink of an eye. To help make your session as smooth and stress-free as possible, we’ve put together a checklist of essentials to bring in your diaper bag!
The Must-Haves:
🍼 Extra Milk or Formula – Whether you’re nursing or bottle-feeding, having extra milk on hand ensures your baby stays full and happy.
🧷 Diapers & Wipes – Newborns go through a lot of diapers! Bring a few extras along with wipes for any quick clean-ups.
👶 A Cozy Blanket – Not only does a soft blanket help keep your baby warm, but it can also be used for snuggly shots during the session.
👕 Extra Outfits – Accidents happen! Bring an extra outfit (or two) just in case. Neutral colors and soft fabrics work best for timeless newborn photos.
🎵 A Pacifier (if your baby uses one) – Even if they don’t always take one, a pacifier can be a great comfort during the session.
💦 Burp Cloths – Spit-ups are totally normal, and having a burp cloth handy helps keep everyone’s outfits clean and fresh.
For Mom & Dad:
☕ Snacks & Water – Newborn sessions can take some time, so make sure to bring a quick snack and some water for yourself!
👕 Extra Shirt for Parents – If you’re planning on being in some photos (which we highly encourage!), bringing a backup shirt just in case of unexpected spills is a great idea.
💄 Touch-Up Items – A little powder or lip balm can help you feel refreshed and photo-ready.
Bonus Tips:
✔️ Relax & Enjoy the Moment! Your baby sets the pace for the session, so don’t stress—snuggles and breaks are all part of the experience.
✔️ Trust the Process! We know how to work with newborns, and we’ll make sure to capture beautiful images, no matter what.
✔️ Most of All—Have Fun! This is such a sweet time in your family’s life, and we can’t wait to capture these precious moments for you.
