Baby Photoshoot in Birmingham, AL | Swaddling, Environment & White Noise Tips

Baby Photoshoot Birmingham, AL

Are you planning a baby photoshoot in Birmingham, AL? Baby photoshoots are our specialty—we love working with newborns and babies! Many parents worry their baby won’t cooperate. As an experienced baby photographer, I use swaddling techniques, a warm studio environment, and gentle white noise to help babies relax and drift into a deep sleep for beautiful portrait results.

Swaddling

When you have your baby, the nurses at the hospital will swaddle your baby. They wrap a baby blanket around them snuggly. This mimics the womb and babies really enjoy that feeling. It also helps them not feel like they are falling which usually provokes the startle reflex.

Swaddling or wrapping baby for their photoshoot helps them settle in and get cozy. Babies usually drift right off to sleep. We know several beautiful ways to wrap your baby to create stunning results.

Environment

Creating a calm, warm environment will ensure baby and parents have less anxiety during the session. It is well known that baby can feel the stress and anxiety parents may be experiencing when arriving at a baby photoshoot.

We turn the lights down, play spa music, and have the temperature set at a warmer temperature. All these things aid in relaxing baby into a cozy nap while taking their pictures.

White Noise

We have several items we keep nearby your baby to aid in calming them. We have a white noise maker, vibrating pad, and a small weighted blanket. White noise is very calming to babies because it imitates the noise they heard in the womb. That sound comforts them and relaxes them enough to drift off into dreamland.
