PREPARATION GUIDE


First of all, thank you for choosing me to take photos of your precious baby! I created this information guide to help you prepare for your session.


What to expect during your session

Sitter sessions usually last between 45 - 60 minutes. A 6-12 month old baby has a very short attention span. Therefore, a sitter session needs to go quick. It usually involves 2-3 setups with few different accessories for each setup. A baby is photographed from different angles making sure that all of their tiny details are captured.


What to bring

Milk, snacks, dummy (if required) favourite toy.

My little home studio contains a ridiculous amount of goodies for your session. We’re talking hats, headbands, props, etc. it’s part of what you’re paying me for! So don’t stress about bringing or buying anything for your time here (unless you want to bring an outfit of your own). keeping in mind I don’t usually dress babies “up” aka, i’m not going to put a mermaid tail on your baby… it’s just not my thing. we will talk about colours and preferences, but I do all of the styling of the session while you relax and enjoy it!



Other notes

  • Anything you can do to put your little one in as good of a mood as possible, do it! making sure everyone is well fed and well napped will help.
  • If your baby allows it, go ahead and sit down on the couch while we try to entertain them with our (sure to be ridiculous) antics. if you’re standing behind me, your kiddo is going to stare at you the whole time, and we always hope for good eye contact with the camera. i do understand not all babies will allow this, but it’s worth a shot! rest assured we are going to give it our best.
  • If there is a particular set up that you have seen on my website or facebook/instagram page, please let me know at least 2 days before your session.
  • Please refrain from taking mobile phone photos or videos during your shoot (it will be tempting I know :))



Studio and Session Health and Hygiene Policy


If you or anyone else in your family are feeling unwell or are showing any symptoms such as a sore throat, fever, cough, runny nose etc, please let me know ASAP so I can reschedule your session. You must also notify me if you have had any contact with anyone who has been confirmed to COVID-19 or anyone isolating etc.


Of course, the health and safety of my clients (and my own little ones at home) has always been my number one priority. Due to COVID-19, I have added some extra precautions to help keep everyone safe:


  • No shoes in the studio
  • Immediate family members only at the session (parents and siblings only)


I will ensure all fabrics are washed between sessions and surfaces are washed before and after sessions.

And last but not least, please relax and enjoy the session, and hopefully a little rest!
