This little guy was my first baby to photograph in 2020! Happy New Year! He was pretty gassy (poor little guy!) and was therefore not super interested in sleeping but we still managed to take some beautiful photos.
This is a concern I hear when I tell people that I'm a newborn photographer: what do we do if the baby won't sleep? When it comes to a newborn photoshoot, it's important to understand that babies have their own schedule and may not always cooperate with the our desired schedule. If your baby doesn't want to sleep during their photoshoot, it's important to manage our expectations and be flexible. Embrace the awake shots! If the baby won't sleep, embrace the awake shots and capture the baby's unique expressions and personality. Don't stress: Remember that the most important thing is capturing beautiful memories of your newborn baby, so don't stress if things don't go as planned. And sometimes we just have to time the baby's blinks perfectly and voila: the baby appears like they're sleeping.
