Can Siblings Be Included in Newborn Photos?

As a lifestyle newborn photographer, I'm often asked if siblings can be included in the photos. The answer is a resounding YES!

Siblings and Fur Babies Welcome

At my lifestyle newborn sessions, we celebrate the whole family – including siblings and even fur babies! I believe that the addition of a new baby is a big change for the whole family, and I love capturing the excitement and love that comes with it.

Capturing Sibling Love

Including siblings in the photos is a great way to capture the special bond between them and the new baby. We'll take it slow, have fun, and make sure everyone is comfortable and happy. Whether it's snuggling, playing, or just being together, we'll capture the love and joy that fills the room.

Tips for Sibling Involvement

To make the most of your session, here are a few tips:

- Make sure siblings are well-rested and fed before the session

- Have their favorite toys or comfort items on hand to help them feel more at ease

- Encourage them to interact with the baby – it's okay if it's just a gentle touch or a sweet smile!

- Don't worry if they get a little restless – we'll work with them to get some great shots

Let's Celebrate Your Family

At the end of the day, my goal is to capture the love and connection of your family. I can't wait to meet you and celebrate the new addition to your crew!

What if Baby Won't Sleep During My Newborn Session?

As a Seattle-based newborn photographer, I often get asked, "What if baby won't sleep during the session?" It's a common concern, but with my lifestyle approach to newborn photography, it really doesn't matter!

The Lifestyle Approach

My approach to newborn photography is all about capturing natural, authentic moments. That means we don't need to rely on a sleeping baby to get beautiful images. We'll focus on capturing the beauty of you and your baby, awake or asleep.

Baby's Mood, No Problem

Since we're not trying to get baby into awkward poses, it really doesn't matter if they're awake or asleep. We'll simply follow baby's lead and capture the moments as they unfold. Whether baby is cooing, snuggling, or simply observing the world, we'll get some beautiful images.

Most Newborns Will Eventually Fall Asleep

Let's be real, most newborns will fall asleep eventually during a photo session – it's just what they do! But even if baby stays awake, we'll still get some amazing images. And if you're really set on sleepy baby photos, scheduling your session within the first two weeks of birth increases the chances of getting those sweet, snoozy shots.

The Goal: Beautiful Images, No Matter What

At the end of the day, my goal is to capture the beauty and love of your new family, no matter what. So don't stress if baby won't sleep – we'll work with what we have and create some truly special images.
