Let’s talk about the magic of sibling love in newborn photos—because let’s be honest, those tiny moments between your kiddos are the ones that melt your heart forever. But how do you get the perfect shot without meltdowns or chaos? That’s where my years of experience (and a few sneaky tricks) come in.
Here’s how I make sure your big kid shines right alongside their brand-new sibling:
1. Make Them the Star
Big brothers and sisters love feeling included, so I make sure they know they’re an important part of the session. Whether it’s helping “hold” the baby (safely, of course!) or getting their own special portraits, I’ll capture their bond and their individuality.
2. Keep It Fun and Relaxed
Kids don’t sit still for long, so we keep things light and playful. I bring out the giggles with games, silly prompts, and plenty of breaks. No stiff poses here—just real moments that show the love.
3. Safety First, Always
Your baby’s safety is my top priority. I use professional posing techniques to make sure your little one is secure, whether they’re in their sibling’s arms or nestled next to them. I’ve got years of experience working with newborns and kids, so you can relax knowing everyone’s in good hands.
4. Capture the Candid Moments
Some of the best photos come from unscripted moments: a kiss on the forehead, a little hand reaching out, or a burst of laughter. I keep the camera ready for those sweet, in-between shots that show off your family’s unique connection.
5. Create Timeless Memories
Including siblings in newborn photos isn’t just about the now—it’s about creating memories your kids will cherish when they’re older. Imagine looking back at those photos in a few years and seeing the love they’ve shared since day one. That’s what I aim to capture.
