Cozy Comfort: Prepping Your Home for a CT Newborn Photoshoot

Congratulations, expecting parents! As a CT newborn photographer (and yes, some might say the best maternity photographer in Connecticut ☺️ ), I know you’re eagerly awaiting the arrival of your little one. But amidst the baby prep, a newborn photoshoot might also be on your mind.

Here at Hudzen Photography, I specialize in capturing those precious first moments in the comfort of your own home. Having your newborn photoshoot at home allows for a relaxed and intimate experience, and with a little preparation, your space can be transformed into a cozy haven for capturing beautiful memories.

Let’s talk about creating the perfect backdrop for your CT newborn photoshoot!

Clear the Clutter, Not the Memories:

You don’t need a complete deep clean, but minimizing clutter in the rooms we’ll use will create a clean and calming aesthetic in the photos. Think about tucking away toys, personal items, and anything that might distract from the focus: your beautiful new family.

For Newborn Photoshoot, Light is Key:

Newborn photography thrives on natural light. Open up curtains and blinds to let in the sunshine! If your session falls on a less sunny day, don’t worry – I bring lighting equipment to ensure we capture stunning photos regardless.

Think Warm and Cozy:

Newborns love warmth, so crank up the thermostat a few degrees beforehand. This will ensure a comfortable environment for your baby and allow them to sleep soundly during the session.

Prepare the Perfect Backdrop:

The master bedroom is a popular choice for newborn photoshoots, but so is the baby nursery, or a living room. A clean, solid-colored sheet on the bed creates a simple and versatile backdrop. You can also utilize cozy blankets, throws, and pillows to add texture and warmth. On the other hand, getting the family photos done against a peculiar feature of your house, adds character and personality to your photographs.

Don’t Forget the Details:

Small touches can make a big difference. Consider having a basket filled with soft blankets and wraps on hand for posing. If you have any sentimental items like baby clothes or a special heirloom blanket, these can be incorporated into the photos for a personal touch.

And the remaining members of the family!

Pets are often a really important part of your life, and will be that of your newborn. Why not let them show their affection and personality too?

Relax and Enjoy Your Newborn Photoshoot!

The most important thing is to feel comfortable and relaxed in your own space. My goal is to capture those natural, candid moments of love and connection between you and your newborn. So take a deep breath, soak in the wonder of your new arrival, and let me handle the rest!
