Question 1

How do I prepare my baby for the session?

Accepted Answer

A little preparation helps us capture those sleepy, curled-up poses!

Bath Time
Please bathe your baby the morning of the session to keep them fresh and awake before you arrive.

Awake Time
Try to keep your baby awake as much as possible for the 3 hours leading up to your session.

Feeding
If you are a local momma driving from Chilliwack or Sardis, please give your baby an extra heavy feeding right before you leave home. If you are traveling from further away in the Fraser Valley, expect to feed your baby immediately upon arrival at the studio.

Clothing
Dress baby in a simple sleeper that zips or buttons up the front. Avoid anything that must be pulled over the head to prevent waking them when undressing.

Question 2

What should I bring to the studio?

Accepted Answer

We have a fully stocked studio, but please bring these essentials:

Lots of diapers and wipes.

Extra milk or formula if you are bottle-feeding.

A pacifier (even if you rarely use one, it is a huge help for soothing during tricky poses).

Any special keepsakes you would like incorporated into the photos.

Question 3

What should parents and siblings wear?

Accepted Answer

We want the focus to be on your connection with the baby.

Colors
We suggest neutral attire (white, cream, black, grey, navy, or earth tones).

Layers
The studio is kept very warm for the baby's comfort, so dress in layers you can remove.

Siblings
Neutral colors work best. We prefer bare feet for kids, so no need to worry about shoes!

Question 4

How do you handle siblings during the session?

Accepted Answer

We always do the sibling and family poses first because toddlers have short attention spans. Once the family portion is done, we recommend an adult take older siblings out for a break. The beautiful Vedder Rotary Trail and several parks are just walking distance from our Sardis studio. We also have Netflix available to keep them entertained if they stay!
