Baby photoshoots are the perfect way to capture your little ones and they can immortalise some incredibly special moments of your children as they grow up. Babies can sometimes be difficult to keep content and happy, especially in unfamiliar environments.

There are several ways you can help to ensure your baby is as comfortable as possible during photoshoots which can help the entire experience to be as fun and relaxing as possible.

First, make sure you book your photoshoot at the right time. Scheduling it around your baby’s naps and feeds can make it much less stressful as there is no need for their routine to be interrupted. A well-rested, fed baby is a happy and content baby!

You may also wish to schedule it during your baby’s nap time, as it may be much easier to take wonderful photos if your little one is sound asleep. Sleeping babies are easier to pose and don’t wriggle around as much, making them easier to photograph.

Ensure your baby is dressed in comfortable clothing. If your little one feels uncomfortable or cold, they may become distressed more easily. Dressing them in soft, warm clothing will help to make sure they are as comfy as possible which can prevent them from becoming upset.

Bringing familiar items with you can also make it less distressing for your baby to be in an unfamiliar item. Toys, blankets and teddies can all help to provide a sense of familiarity and safety for your baby and can also help to distract and calm them should they become unsettled.

It is important that you don’t worry if your baby is upset or unsettled during your photoshoot. Professional baby photographers are very used to working with young children and aren’t going to be annoyed or upset if your baby is acting like a baby!
