Photoshoots can be a lot of pressure for anybody, especially babies! One of the biggest problem parents have during a photoshoot is trying to make their baby smile. Here are some of the top tips we’ve learned from our experiences to ensure your baby is all smiles…

tip #1: food food food!!

Nobody likes to do anything when we’re hungry. Make sure you baby has a full stomach before the photoshoot so they dont become hangry. If your baby gets hungry often or couldnt fit in a meal before the shoot, bring a snack or bottle to feed when they get cranky.

tip #2: bring a favorite toy

Babies find comfort with something familiar to them. To get their minds off the pressure of a photoshoot, bring a favorite toy or stuffed animal! You can bring out the toy, without getting it in the photos, for a quick smile or two.

tip #3: invite their favorite aunt, grandma, sister, uncle, etc.

Sometimes babies don’t need anything else, just their favorite person there for all the support. It can become a fun memorable experience for the whole family to have. And you can sneak in a few family shots as well.

** Bonus tip: a well rested baby is a happy baby

Make sure your baby is well rested before the photoshoot. Try to squeeze in a quick nap before or if your baby has a set nap schedule, schedule the photoshoot around your baby’s naps.
