Jane's Newborn Session Tips
Less Is More for Baby
A simple swaddle or soft outfit often looks better than a complex costume. Baby's tiny features are the star.
Keep Baby Warm
We keep the studio warm for newborn sessions. Bring layers you can remove easily — baby will be comfortable.
Neutrals for Parents
White, cream, soft grey, and blush work best. Avoid bright colors that can reflect onto baby's skin.
Skip the Scratchy Stuff
No lace, glitter, velcro, or stiff fabrics near the baby. Soft, natural fibers only.
