A newborn photo session can be stressful for new parents. They can even be stressful for second or third time parents, especially if siblings are involved. But baby photographer Conner James Photography in Glen Carbon, Illinois can make these photos fun, quick, and simple.
For the most part, the siblings participating are toddler age - around two to five years old. When you think of a family, with a newborn, plus a toddler or two, in a photography studio, it can certainly seem overwhelming. It’s important to go into the photo session prepared for any and everything. Let all of your expectations fly out the window and embrace the reality of how things will likely really go. Let’s dive into this further.
Expectation: My toddler will smile and pose and love the camera; this will be easy.
Reality: If your toddler is a tad on the tired side or even a little bit hungry, this can make things really difficult as they will likely become ornery and uncooperative. This happens all the time so try to schedule your photo session for a time when your toddler is well rested and fed. Edwardsville, Illinois newborn photographer Conner James Photography has a knack for keeping toddlers interested, engaged and having fun - even when they are tired and hungry. So if you’re looking for a baby photographer with this kind of know-how; look no further!
Expectation: My toddler loves our newborn; he/she won’t be jealous.
Reality: During a newborn photo session, your toddler could experience some jealousy when all eyes are on the new baby. Talk to your toddler before the photos and let them know they are just as interesting and important as their baby brother/sister. And don’t be surprised if your toddler needs some time to play a bit or rest during the photos. This is normal and to be expected.

Think about it: your child is dressed up, in a photography studio, they’re being told how to sit, stand, lay down, smile, hold their baby brother/sister, etc. It’s a lot for them to take in, not to mention they too are adjusting to life with a newborn.
