Newborn Prep Tips

Gripe water and/or Mylicon to relieve any gas or colic symptoms your baby may have, even if they haven't experienced this at home yet.
Pacifier, again even if they are not used at home, just for the shoot it will be necessary
PLENTY of diapers. We are moving them around in many positions and they will be eating more than normal and going potty a lot.
We will be asking you to feed much more often than usual. Babies need the hindmilk that is higher in fat to be sleepy.
We have a few refreshments for your enjoyment however, bring a snack for your session, you will get hungry.
BE CALM. This is an exciting moment in time to cherish.
If breastfeeding, please avoid new and spicy foods, caffiene, alcohol etc.
If family members are participating, neutral wardrobe options are recommended.

Maternity Prep Tips

Get plenty of rest and stay hydrated. I want you to look and feel your best.
We highly recommend using Michele DeeAnn Makeup Artistry for your maternity and newborn photos, it does make a difference to have professional makeup. Please contact her directly through www.SacGlam.com to schedule as she is a separate business.
If you are doing your own hair and makeup, apply more than you typically would…think “date night” makeup. False eyelashes are highly recommended. Be sure to add extra volume to your hair. If you have long hair, relaxed curls look amazing.
Bring nude colored shapewear (Spanx) and strapless bra. The gowns are very form-fitting.
I have light refreshments in studio however, bring a snack for your session if you are pregnant.
Wear neutral colored flip flops in case we are doing an outdoor session.
If family members are participating, neutral wardrobe options are recommended.
BE CALM. This is an exciting moment in time to cherish!
