In my opinion, adjusting and positioning the baby is difficult when it’s not your child. This is why I think it’s important to build some familiarity with each other beforehand. I know how delicate they are at that age and it can be kind of nerve-wracking to say the least. Baby cooperation and working around naps or feeding time can also be a little challenging. This is where communication helps. Since a number of things can unexpectedly sidetrack a photo shoot with a newborn infant, I usually schedule sessions in two-hour intervals.
