Newborn Photography - What happens if baby doesn't behave during a Newborn Baby Photoshoot

4/4/2019

0 Comments

 
 "What happens if my baby doesn't behave?" is a question I am asked over and over again with newborn photography, and yes it does happen from time to time, your baby isn't bad behaved... it is a baby and doing what babies do.
A skilled baby photographer will have a back up plan in place should your baby arrive to their photography studio unsettled for whatever reason.

A few reasons your baby may not be settled on their photoshoot day:
  • Hungry
  • Colic
  • Growth Spurt
  • Not enough sleep (Overt tired)
  • Too much sleep (lots of awake time in the studio)
  • Too hot/cold

Babies have growth spurts frequently and this can disturb your baby's feeding routine - you may notice they cluster feed quite often and are a lot more alert, this is your baby growing and trying to take more milk for their growth.

These growth spurts can affect the session only by the extra feeds and settling, and each session is totally baby lead just in case this happens.

When you book your newborn photography session with me, we have an initial phone consultation (either before or when your baby has arrived). 
With my preparation guide I discuss with parents lots of handy hints & tips on preparing for your appointment, and send you a copy of the guide to you.
Reading and following the guide means we should get the most from your baby at your session on the day.

As an experienced newborn photographer I have a selection of 'go too' poses I do during any newborn session if baby appears to be unsettled or having lots of 'awake time' I will work this into your photography session until your baby is ready for their nap time.
Some babies just prefer a lot more cuddles than others, and they can also pick up on tension and stress so try and relax during your photoshoot, and give off those sleepy vibes.

All newborn sessions are completely baby lead, if your baby isn't happy on their tummy then I won't pose them on their tummy. 
I check temperatures often too, sometimes babies are unsettled if they are too hot or cold and this is monitored during the whole session when baby is in wraps or in just skin.

In the many years I have been a newborn photographer, not all baby sessions go to plan and in the odd occasion I have re-scheduled a couple of sessions, normally when this happens baby comes back to the studio settled the second time after their 'practise' run ;-)
