HOW TO PREPARE? • We should set the sesión time right after baby’s nap time to make sure they are well rested and ready to have fun! • It’s a Good idea to bring snacks, drinks, toys or anything that your baby loves! • Don’t forget the towel to dry your baby after the bath! We will also have an extra towel at the studio
HOW TO PREPARE? • Bring clothes that can get messed up! Even bring another set of clothes if you need to. We have a changing area. • We usually use 2-3 sets of clothing for baby. For the bubble bath, you can choose to leave baby with no diaper if prefered.
HOW TO PREPARE? • I don’t recommend using any lotions or oil before the sesión as the light might cause a large reflection. If baby has any marks, these can be edited after during post-processing • If you see your baby is not feeling well before your session, let me know. It’s best to schedule another date where your baby is feeling their best!
ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS Siblings are welcome to be part of the session. They can stay in the resting area through the sesión, with access to TV, drinks and snacks. I hope you come to the studio feeling at home! We try to make it comfy for all of you. I am really honored to be part of this momento of your lives.
