5 Questions to ask a Newborn Photographer
What should I look for when hiring a newborn photographer?
When choosing the best Cape Cod newborn photographer for your family, it’s essential to find someone unique and experienced with newborns.
Here’s what you should look for when choosing a newborn photographer:
First, choose someone who specializes in newborn photography and has extensive experience working with babies. It’s not just about cute photos; it’s crucial for your newborn’s safety and comfort during the session. With over 15 years of experience, I know how to create a smooth, enjoyable experience for you and your baby. Did you know newborn growth spurts happen in a predictable pattern? We can avoid cranky babies for the best session outcome!
Consider the photo style you want. Do you prefer the cozy feel of lifestyle photos at home, or a polished studio session? My studio offers both options. Lifestyle newborn photography captures raw, beautiful moments in your own environment. The studio setup provides curated images with classic poses and props. You can mix these styles to fit your vision.
During the session, I focus on capturing your unique connection—sweet cuddles, tiny fingers, and your loving gaze at your baby. My goal is to provide a collection of authentic images that reflect your everyday life with your newborn. This way, you can look back and relive these fleeting moments.
Choosing a newborn photographer is personal and about finding someone who understands your vision. I aim to capture real moments and create timeless images that reflect the love and joy of these early days. My hope is for you to feel seen, connected, and at ease, with photos that naturally extend your family’s story.
Caryn Scanlan is Baby Safety Certified
As a mother of three, and trained in baby safety, I know what’s safe for a newborn. I understand how to create composite images. (For example, your newborn cannot hold their chin on their hands! That requires a composite of two images and must be done safely.) Do not assume that someone calling themselves a newborn photographer knows what they are doing!

Here’s what you can expect during your newborn photography session:
I strive to make your experience comfortable and stress-free. When I arrive, we start with a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Newborns have their own pace, so I allow time for feeding, soothing, and settling. I’m prepared to help you feel at ease with cozy blankets and the right lighting for these special portraits.
During the session, I follow your baby’s lead. We’ll gently guide them into soft, natural poses, incorporating both styles. I’ll capture sweet, unposed moments of you with your newborn and set up classic poses to highlight tiny details. My goal is to create authentic images while ensuring your little one is safe, comfortable, and content.
For lifestyle sessions, we focus on documenting your connection and the warmth of your home, capturing moments like your newborn sleeping in your arms.
My approach is flexible and patient, allowing breaks whenever needed. Newborn sessions may last a couple of hours, as we go at your baby’s pace. By the end, you’ll have a beautiful gallery capturing your newborn’s unique personality and memories of a cherished family experience.

Do I need to provide anything?
Bring yourself, your baby, and your home’s cozy touch! I’ll handle the rest. We’ll discuss what to wear—comfortable, timeless clothing in soft, neutral tones—to help capture your family’s unique story authentically and beautifully.
A little preparation can make a big difference. During the nesting phase, think about areas where you’d love photos taken. The nursery rocking chair is a great spot for quiet moments. If there’s a cozy corner in the living room, a quick tidy-up can create a clean backdrop that highlights your bond.
I’ll bring my eye for detail, using everyday items to add a personal touch. Soft blankets, woven baskets, or favorite stuffed animals can enhance your images. I love incorporating elements from your home to keep the photos authentic. These small touches reflect your life with your little one in a comfortable, unique way.
Ultimately, enjoy this time together and let me handle the rest. Focus on being present with your baby. I’ll guide you through everything, ensuring you feel relaxed and happy with the memories we create.
