Why Choose Appleton Photography Studio for Newborn Photography

Specialized Newborn Photography Training

Newborn photography requires specific skills beyond general photography. Our newborn photographers have completed professional training in:

  • Safe newborn handling and posing techniques
  • Appropriate props and support methods
  • Understanding newborn behavior and comfort
  • Working with babies’ natural sleep cycles
  • Creating images that prioritize safety above all else

Comfortable Appleton Studio Environment

Our photography studio is specifically equipped for newborn sessions:

  • Climate-controlled space kept warm for baby’s comfort
  • Soft, gentle lighting perfect for newborns
  • Specialized newborn posing equipment
  • Complete collection of props, wraps, and accessories
  • Private, quiet environment conducive to baby sleep
  • Comfortable space for parents and siblings

Timing Your Newborn Photography Session

The ideal window for newborn photography is typically 5-14 days after birth. During this time, babies sleep more soundly, curl naturally into adorable poses, and haven’t developed baby acne yet. We recommend booking your newborn session during pregnancy to secure your spot, with flexible scheduling after birth based on baby’s arrival.

What to Expect from Your Newborn Photography Session

Before Your Session

We discuss your preferences, color schemes, and style during your consultation. You’ll receive preparation tips including feeding schedules to optimize your baby’s comfort during the session.

During Your Newborn Session

Newborn photography sessions typically last 2-4 hours. This extended time allows for feeding breaks, soothing, and working with baby’s natural sleep patterns. We never rush—your baby’s comfort and safety are always our priority.

Our Appleton newborn photographers gently pose your baby, using safe techniques and appropriate support. We capture:

  • Peaceful sleeping poses
  • Adorable curled-up positions
  • Sweet details (tiny toes, fingers, eyelashes)
  • Parent and sibling shots with baby
  • Multiple setup variations with different wraps and props

After Your Session

We carefully edit each image, ensuring beautiful, timeless results. You typically receive your complete newborn gallery within 2-3 weeks, with high-resolution digital images perfect for prints, albums, and sharing with family.

Newborn Photography Safety First

Safety is our absolute priority during newborn photography sessions. We follow strict safety protocols:

  • Never forcing poses or positions
  • Using proper support for all poses
  • Composite images when necessary (combining multiple safe shots)
  • Appropriate room temperature for newborn comfort
  • Sanitized props and clean linens for every session
  • Professional training in safe newborn handling
  • Parent nearby and involved throughout the session
