If you’re preparing for a newborn session and wondering how you’re ever going to get your toddler to cooperate… I want you to know that I completely understand.
Welcoming a new baby is a huge transition for little ones. They’re adjusting to a new sibling, new routines, and a whole lot of change. The last thing I want is for your toddler to feel pressured to sit still, smile on command, or pose in a way that doesn’t feel natural to them.
After photographing many newborn sessions over the years, I’ve learned that the best photos happen when we let toddlers be toddlers.
I follow their lead. We play games, explore, laugh, snuggle, and turn the session into an experience instead of a checklist of poses. Before they even realize it, they’re loving on their new baby, holding Mom’s hand, giving Dad hugs, or sneaking in the sweetest little kisses—all in a way that feels genuine to them.
Those authentic moments tell your family’s story so much better than perfectly posed smiles ever could.
So if you’re worried your busy, shy, energetic, or strong-willed toddler will make your newborn session stressful, take a deep breath. I’ve got you. My job isn’t just to photograph your family—it’s to create a relaxed space where your children can simply be themselves.
Because years from now, you’ll want to remember their silly grin, their curiosity, their tiny bursts of energy, and the way they loved their new baby in their own unique way. And those are the moments I’ll always be looking for.
