Snuggling a newborn is one of life's sweetest joys, and as a newborn videographer and photographer, I get to capture those fleeting moments in a way that lasts a lifetime. In this post, I'll share my top tips for preparing for a newborn session—whether it’s photos or a video, these tips will help you create a meaningful and memorable experience for your family.

Capturing the precious moments of your newborn without leaving the comfort of home can be both convenient and stress-free.

I really love a newborn photography session that takes place in the comfort of home. Maybe it’s just me, but getting out of the house with my newborns felt like a daunting herculean effort.
