Booking Your Session

The journey begins with scheduling your session. We recommend booking your newborn shoot during your pregnancy, ideally in the second or third trimester. This proactive approach ensures availability around your due date. Since babies have their own schedules, we remain flexible, adjusting the appointment as needed once your baby arrives.

 

Timing is Everything

Newborn shoots are ideally conducted within the first two weeks of birth. During this period, babies are sleepier and more likely to maintain those adorable curled-up poses reminiscent of their time in the womb. This timeframe also minimizes disruptions to your baby's emerging feeding and sleeping patterns.

 

Preparing for the Shoot

Prior to the session, we provide a comprehensive guide to help you prepare. This includes tips on feeding schedules, clothing choices, and items to bring along. We encourage parents to keep their baby awake for a short period before the shoot and to feed them upon arrival at the studio. A well-fed, sleepy baby is more amenable to posing and tends to result in smoother sessions.

 

The Studio Environment

Fotoshoot Rotterdam offers a warm, cozy, and safe environment designed specifically for newborns. The studio is heated to a comfortable temperature to keep your baby warm, especially since many poses involve minimal clothing. Soft, tranquil music plays in the background to create a soothing atmosphere. We adhere to strict hygiene practices, sanitizing all props and equipment before each session to ensure your baby's safety.

 

Professional Expertise

Our photographers are not just skilled in photography but are also trained in handling newborns. They understand the nuances of newborn behavior and body language, ensuring that your baby is comfortable at all times. Safety is our utmost priority; we never force a pose or position that could cause discomfort or harm.

 

Session Flow

A typical newborn shoot lasts between two to four hours. This duration accounts for feeding times, diaper changes, and cuddles, ensuring a relaxed experience without any rush. Patience is key, and we follow the baby's lead throughout the session.

We start with simple poses while the baby is swaddled, gradually moving to more intricate setups as the session progresses. Parents and siblings are encouraged to participate, creating beautiful family portraits that capture the essence of your growing family.

 

Props and Accessories

Our studio boasts an array of props, including soft blankets, tiny hats, headbands, baskets, and more. We carefully select neutral and pastel colors to keep the focus on your baby. You're also welcome to bring personal items, such as a cherished blanket or a family heirloom, to add a unique touch to the photographs.

 

Customization and Personalization

Every family is unique, and we strive to reflect that in our sessions. Before the shoot, we'll discuss your preferences, including colors, themes, and any specific poses you desire. Whether you prefer a minimalist style or something more whimsical, we'll tailor the session to match your vision.

 

Post-Production and Image Selection

After the session, our work continues behind the scenes. We meticulously select the best images and perform professional editing to enhance their quality while maintaining a natural look. Within two weeks, we'll invite you for a viewing session where you can select your favorite images.
