Baby Coo-ture: 7 Tips for Handling Baby's First Professional Photo Shoot

With my first born I didn't do a newborn photo shoot so the second time around I decided it was a must. I wanted to capture my sweet girl while she was still able to fit in newborn size clothes, when she would spend most of her day sleeping, and when the place she found comfort was on my chest beside my heart. While ideally newborn sessions take place in your home, we decided for various reasons that it would be best to go to the photographer. This reduced the need to clean the piles of baby stuff, put the dog outside or clean because, I will be honest and admit, there wasn't a lot of cleaning happening between the time my water broke and we returned home. I wanted to share some things with you that really helped me get through (and enjoy!) my baby's first photo shoot as well as things that would have helped me. If you also have some tips I'd love it if you shared them. By Krishann Briscoe
