What to bring to a newborn shoot?

If you have a pacifier please bring one.  Even if you think your baby doesn't use it. If you breastfeed and your milk doesn't produce enough please bring a little bit of formula just in case.  If you have other children that are coming to the shoot for a family shoot I think bribery helps.  Something you know your children would like for being good.  Also snacks if you know your children are going to be hungry.  Sometimes moms forget about themselves.  She will bring stuff for baby, snacks for children but nothing for her.  Remember a newborn shoot can last 2-3 hours.  Especially if you are nursing you will need to bring some water and snacks.  You do not want your milk supply to go down.  Or when it is your turn to get your pictures taken.  You do not want to be light headed.  If there is a certain prop you want to bring from home, please let your photographer know ahead of time.  Most photographers have what you need.  Sometimes those precious things you have to bring won't work with what the photographer has.  So if you let the photographer know ahead of time they will try to have it work with what they have.
