A Guide for New Parents in Cuyahoga Falls & Surrounding Areas
Cuyahoga Falls Newborn Photographer
Booking a newborn photography session is one of the best decisions you can make to preserve those fleeting first days of life. As a newborn photographer serving Cuyahoga Falls, Akron, Hudson, Stow, and Fairlawn, I know just how important these memories are—and how overwhelming preparing for the session can feel for new parents.
That’s why I’ve created this simple, stress-free guide to help you get ready for your baby’s big debut at my studio.
🧸 1. Keep Baby Awake Before the Session (If You Can!)
A sleepy baby is a photographer’s dream. Try to keep your baby awake for about 1 hour before the session, if possible. This will help them sleep more soundly during posing and make for a smoother, more relaxed session.
💡 Tip: A warm bath or some playtime before you leave for the studio can help tire them out naturally.
🍼 2. Feed Baby Right Before the Session
A full tummy = a happy, sleepy baby! Feeding your newborn just before we start will help them settle into that dreamy, cozy state that’s perfect for wrapped or posed images.
If you’re coming from outside Cuyahoga Falls (like Akron or Hudson), feel free to arrive a few minutes early and feed your baby at the studio. I’ve created a quiet, comfortable space just for you.
🧦 3. Dress Baby in Something Easy to Remove
Bring baby to the studio in something simple—like a zipper onesie without anything that goes over the head. This makes transitions smooth and prevents waking your little one when we’re ready to start.
Bonus: You don’t need to worry about outfits! I provide a full selection of wraps, outfits, and props, all curated to match your style and vision.
🧘♀️ 4. Pack Light for Yourself, Too
You don’t need much—just:
Diapers & wipes
Extra bottles (if bottle-feeding)
A pacifier (even if baby doesn’t usually take one—it can help during transitions)
📷 5. Let Go & Trust the Process
Newborn sessions are slow-paced, calm, and completely baby-led. We work around feeding needs, fussiness to ensure your little one is safe and comfortable the entire time. In-studio sessions always are done with an assistant to ensure the safest environment possible.
You don’t need to stress about how your baby will behave. We’ve worked with hundreds of families throughout Summit County—and every baby is different. Your job is just to relax while I capture the magic. My Cuyahoga Falls newborn studio is a judgment-free zone where parents can relax while Ms. Jenn handles all the baby whispering. Many families enjoy a quiet moment in the front room, catching up on sleep, emails or watching their favorite movies.
