The Secret to Sibling Photos? It’s Easier Than Y The Secret to Sibling Photos? It’s Easier Than You Think! Sibling photos at a newborn session can be adorable—but they can also be unpredictable! After years of photographing little ones, I’ve learned a few tricks to make those moments smoother (and sweeter!): 1️⃣ Keep it short & sweet – Toddlers have a short attention span, so we capture their photos first! 2️⃣ Bribery works wonders – Stickers, snacks, or a fun game can keep siblings engaged and happy. 3️⃣ Lower expectations (just a little!) – Some kids will snuggle, while others prefer to hold a foot or give a quick kiss. Every moment is special! Want more tips?

Toddlers in the studio… always an adventure! B Toddlers in the studio... always an adventure! Behind the scenes of this sweet sibling shot: Big sister was very busy rearranging props, testing out the posing pillow (for science, of course), and showing me her best sleepy snores! But when it was time to snuggle her new baby sister? Pure magic! I love the entire series of these two girls together. If you’ve ever tried to get a toddler to sit still for a picture, you know it takes patience, snacks, and maybe a little bribery. Want to know my best tips for sibling photos?

Anytime I post a baby with a pacifier, the interne Anytime I post a baby with a pacifier, the internet EXPLODES with opinions. And honestly? Some of y’all are so bold when it comes to other people’s babies. Here’s the thing—babies like to suck on pacifiers. And sometimes, during a photoshoot, they need one. Here’s why: ✨ Comfort & Soothing – A newborn session is a big event for a tiny human. A pacifier helps them settle between poses, making the session smoother for everyone. 📸 Keeping Baby Asleep – Many babies have a strong sucking reflex that helps them stay asleep longer. That means more dreamy, curled-up poses and fewer wake-ups mid-shot. 🤍 No, It’s Not Forever – A pacifier during a photoshoot doesn’t mean a baby will use one forever. It just means they’re happy and relaxed in the moment. So let’s be kind, yeah? Every baby, every family, every choice is different. If a pacifier brings a little extra peace, I’m all for it! ✨ #newbornphotography #newbornphotographysession #crozet #charlottesvillephotographer #charlottesville #cvillemoms #crozetphotographer #crozetmoms #newbornphotography #charlottesvillenewbornphotographer #angelamcnaulphotography #newbornphotographer #pacifiers
I’ve been noticing a shift lately—more and mor I’ve been noticing a shift lately—more and more unposed, lifestyle newborn sessions popping up. It made me stop and think… are the super-stylized, posed newborn sessions fading out? Am I switching gears? Nah. I still love the art of posed newborn photography—the soft wraps, the dreamy props, the perfect lighting. But I’m also always open to evolving where needed. Trends come and go, but what truly matters is creating timeless, beautiful images that families will cherish forever. Where do you land—posed and polished or natural and candid? I’d love to hear your thoughts! #newbornphotography #newbornphotographysession #newbornposingideas #charlottesvillephotographer #crozet #charlottesville #cvillemoms #crozetphotographer #crozetmoms #newbornphotography #charlottesvillenewbornphotographer #angelamcnaulphotography #newbornphotographer
✨ What to Expect During Your Newborn Session ✨ ✨ What to Expect During Your Newborn Session ✨ Bringing your little one in for a newborn session? Here’s what you can expect: Warm & Cozy: My studio is kept toasty to keep baby comfortable and sleepy. I also have white noise to help soothe them. Plenty of Time: Sessions can take up to 2-3 hours to allow for feeding, cuddles, and those sweet sleepy poses. Baby-Led Posing: Your baby is in charge! I gently guide them into natural, cozy poses, always keeping their safety and comfort first. Parent & Sibling Moments: If you’d like photos with baby, we’ll capture those precious connections, just like this sweet mama here. Relax, enjoy, and soak in the newborn snuggles—I’ll take care of the rest! 💕 Thinking about booking a session?
