Newborns can be quite unpredictable during a photoshoot, but there are a few things you can do to help keep your baby calm and relaxed:

  1. Schedule the photoshoot during your baby’s nap time: Try to schedule the photoshoot during a time when your baby is most likely to be calm and relaxed, such as after a feeding or during nap time.
  2. Keep the environment warm and comfortable: Newborns are used to being in a warm and cozy environment, so make sure the room temperature is comfortable for your baby. You can also use soft blankets and pillows to create a comfortable and cozy environment for your baby.
  3. Use white noise: Newborns are used to the sound of the womb, so using white noise, such as a white noise machine or a recording of womb sounds, can help soothe your baby and keep them calm during the photoshoot.
  4. Swaddle your baby: Swaddling can help your baby feel secure and comfortable, and can also help them stay calm during the photoshoot.
  5. Take breaks as needed: Newborns can get fussy or upset easily, so take breaks as needed during the photoshoot to feed, change, or soothe your baby.

Remember that newborns can be unpredictable, so be patient and flexible during the photoshoot. With the right preparation and a calm and relaxed environment, you can help your baby feel comfortable and capture some beautiful photos of your little one.
