How Appleton Photography Studio Prepares Newborn Sessions for Safety and Comfort
Newborn safety is our absolute priority at Appleton Photography Studio. Discover our comprehensive preparation process ensuring comfortable, secure sessions for Fox Cities families.
Safety Protocols for Newborn Photography
Studio Temperature Control We maintain 75-80°F during newborn sessions. Wisconsin babies stay comfortable and sleepy in the warm environment, essential for posed photography.
Sanitization Standards All props, blankets, and surfaces are thoroughly cleaned between sessions. We use baby-safe, fragrance-free products meeting health standards.
Professional Training Our photographers complete newborn safety certification. We understand proper handling, positioning, and recognizing infant stress signals.
Session Preparation Process
Pre-Session Consultation Before your Appleton newborn session, we discuss:
- Baby’s feeding schedule
- Soothing preferences
- Color scheme preferences
- Any special requests or concerns
Optimal Timing Schedule sessions within 5-14 days of birth when babies sleep deepest and curl naturally. Flexibility is essential—we accommodate late arrivals and schedule changes.
During Your Newborn Session
Parent Participation Parents remain close throughout sessions. We never force poses. If baby shows discomfort, we stop immediately and adjust our approach.
Feeding and Breaks Plan for 2-3 feeding breaks during 2-3 hour sessions. Appleton Photography Studio provides comfortable nursing areas and welcomes bottle feeding.
Posing Safety All curled or suspended poses use composite photography techniques. We never place babies in unsafe positions. Parent hands support babies during shooting, then are edited out.
What We Provide
Our Appleton studio supplies:
- Variety of wraps, blankets, and fabrics
- Safe, sanitized props and baskets
- Headbands and simple accessories
- Comfortable parent seating
What to Bring:
- Extra diapers and wipes

Creating Calm Environment
Soft music, white noise machines, and dimmed lighting help babies relax. We work at baby’s pace—never rushing through poses.
Sibling and Family Photos
Older siblings participate when baby is content. We capture family photos early in sessions when everyone is fresh and patient.
Post-Session Care
We provide guidance on baby’s first photo session experience and what to expect. Images are professionally edited and delivered within 2-3 weeks.
