HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR PHOTOSHOOT

Lifestyle Photoshoot

First, decide which room in your home has the best natural light coming through the windows during mid-mornig. We all know that here in mossel Bay area, some days can be dark and grey. As a natural light newborn photographer, i use natural light as my main light source.

At the same time don’t worry too much about this task because even if your brightest room still feels a little dark, it won’t stop me from taking beautiful photos of your newborn at home. I also recommend choosing a bedroom because I love to take some photos of you and your family snuggling on the bed. If you have one, it would be greatly appreciated if you can put a white or natural coloured comforter or blanket on the bed.

Second, now that you’ve found the room with the best light, this is the only space you should pay attention to when tidying up. Remeve any items from the bedside tables in the bedroom and anything else you don’t want to show in the photos. When taking the snuggly family newborn photos on the bed, the bedside tables and anything near the bed will be in the view.

If you’d also like photos in the nursery, pick up anything that is out of place and put a crib sheet in the crib. Don’t forget to set out any sentimental items you might want to include in the phots with baby.

Lastly, get outfits ready for baby! I love taking baby photos in a simple onesie (white or neatral coloured), a swaddle, and some just diaper photos to capture all those new, tiny features.

If you would like to use a special outfit, have that out and ready too.
