Newborn Photography Ottawa | Awake Babies. Ottawa Newborn photography sessions are often associated with capturing those serene, slumbering moments of your little one’s early days. But what if your baby is wide awake during the shoot? Not to worry! Awake newborn sessions can be just as magical as sessions where the baby sleeps the entire time.

Let’s talk about what happens if your baby is awake during their session:

Prioritize Comfort: Awake babies need to feel comfortable and secure. Ensuring they have a clean diaper and a full belly sets the foundation for a content and happy baby. By prioritizing their comfort, we create an environment where they can be calm for their photos and transitioning from different props and backdrops.
Employ Soothing Strategies: When babies are calm, they can be photographed just like babies who are asleep. Techniques such as sucking on a pacifier, gentle swaddling, and rhythmic swaying can help settle your baby.
Capture Their Unique Personality: Awake newborn photos provide a wonderful opportunity to capture the personality of your brand new baby. Those bright, curious eyes and adorable facial expressions are some of my clients’ favourite photos. We often take advantage of awake times to capture plenty of candid shots.

At Sara McConnell Photography we love to embrace the wakeful moments during newborn sessions because the photos we take during those moments are always some of the parents’ favourites.
