Welcoming a New Baby with Timeless Portraits
Welcoming a new baby is one of life’s most beautiful milestones, and documenting those first days is a gift you’ll treasure forever. As a newborn photographer in Forest, VA, I design every session to be relaxed, baby-led, and filled with meaningful moments that celebrate your growing family.
This sweet little boy brought his whole family to the Liz Cook Photography studio in Forest, VA. His momma followed our detailed guidance in the Exclusive Client Preparation Guide perfectly—which made for a comfy, sleepy baby throughout the entire session and a smooth experience for everyone.
What’s Inside the Exclusive Client Preparation Guide
One of the things my clients love most about booking with me is the peace of mind that comes with detailed preparation. Our Exclusive Client Preparation Guide is designed to take away the guesswork so you can arrive relaxed and confident. Inside, you’ll find:
My philosophy — simplicity, happy baby, and real portraits that capture genuine connection.
Session timeline — from booking to the day of your session, including when to finalize wardrobe, hair/nails, and session details.
Tips and tricks — everything from how to keep baby cozy to how to prepare yourself for a relaxed morning.
Sibling guidance — suggested ways to prepare and invite older siblings into the portrait experience.
What to bring (and not bring) — plus everything you can expect me to have ready for you at the studio.
At-home prep — if your session takes place in your home, you’ll receive a guide for creating the perfect environment for newborn portraits.
Wardrobe inspiration — multiple pages on how to dress every family member for portraits that feel timeless and cohesive.
Studio policies and procedures — so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
This guide is one of the reasons parents tell me their sessions feel calm, seamless, and joyful.
A Peek Inside a Signature Newborn Session
The gallery below is an example of what you can expect from a full Signature Newborn Session. We begin with portraits of your baby alone and then transition into family images. Every step is intentional:
Babies are photographed while they’re most content and cozy.
Family portraits are built into the flow naturally.
Siblings are never left waiting too long, which helps keep their enthusiasm fresh when it’s their turn in front of the camera.
This structure allows us to capture the authentic love and joy of your family without stress or overwhelm.
