Feed your baby before the shoot
Babies who are full will often sleep better and more comfortable during the shooting. According to Precious Steps Photography, breastfeeding right before the beginning of the newborn photo shoot helps your baby feel relaxed and easily deepened, creating favorable conditions for posing and taking photos.
Maintain warm room temperature
Babies have not been able to adjust the body temperature, so a warm environment will help them feel safe and comfortable. Photographer Sandra Gehmair (founder of the brand Sandra Gehmair Photography in Austria) recommends keeping the room temperature of about 24–26 ° C and using a heater to create the warmth needed for the baby.
Use white noise
White sound simulates sound in the womb, helps the baby feel familiar and easy to sleep. Many photographers use the application to create white sound or specialized equipment to keep the baby calm during the shooting.
