Behind the Scenes: How I Prepare for Newborn Photography Sessions at Anna Orr Photography
As a newborn photographer in Saskatoon, I’m passionate about creating a serene and joyful experience for families as they welcome their new arrivals. Each newborn session is unique, and the preparation process is just as important as the photography itself. Here’s an inside look at how I get ready for these heartwarming moments at Anna Orr Photography!
Step 1: Evening Prep with Props
The night before a session is all about organization and creativity. I start by gathering and organizing all the props I plan to use. This includes:
- Selecting Colors and Textures: From soft blankets to adorable hats, I choose pieces that match the preferences shared by the family. This tailoring ensures that every setup feels personal and harmonious.
- Arranging Props: I lay out the carefully curated props and accessories in a way that makes accessing them easy in the morning. This allows me to focus on capturing the magic without any last-minute distractions!
Step 2: Morning Routine
The day of the session starts bright and early. Here’s how I kick off the day to ensure everything is perfect:
- Studio Warm-Up: I make sure the studio is warm and cozy. A comfortable environment is vital for keeping newborns relaxed and ready for their close-ups.
- Thorough Cleaning: Next, I roll up my sleeves and give the studio a good clean. Dusting, wiping down surfaces, and ensuring everything is in pristine condition helps create a serene space for both babies and parents.
- Final Setup Preparation: Once the studio is spotless, I get to work setting up all the props, backdrops, and accessories. Each setup is designed to be welcoming, enhancing the natural beauty of the newborn.
Step 3: Welcoming the Family
When the family arrives at Anna Orr Photography, everything is already prepared and ready for a fabulous experience!
1. First Hour and a Half with Baby: The initial focus is all on the newborn. I work gently to capture those sweet, sleepy poses that melt hearts. This is where the real magic takes place, as I create stunning images that families will cherish forever.
2. Family Portraits: After capturing beautiful solo shots of the baby, we transition into family portraits. This part of the session is filled with warmth, laughter, and those tender moments between siblings, parents, and their new little one.
