Welcoming a photographer into your home for a newborn session could easily be among the smartest choices you’ve made, right up there with packing adult diapers in your birthing bag! They bring their expertise right to your doorstep, easing the load of newborn care for 1-2 hours, and treat you to an endearing display of cuteness, all while you relax on your own couch.

If this seems like a daunting task, don’t fret just yet. The majority of these tips are quite straightforward, and to make it even easier, I’ve provided them in Ьᴜɩɩet points.
