What to Expect During a Newborn Photography Session with Suzanne Barber Images in Little Elm, Texas

If you’ve been searching “What happens during a newborn photography session?” or “How to prepare for posed newborn photos?” — you’re in the right place.
At Suzanne Barber Images, I specialize in timeless, posed newborn photography — whether you visit my studio in Little Elm or I come to you. My goal is to make the experience calm, safe, and stress-free while delivering images you’ll cherish forever.

Why Choose Suzanne Barber Images for Newborn Photography? Newborn photos are more than portraits — they are a way to preserve this once-in-a-lifetime stage. Your baby will grow and change so quickly, and it’s my job to document the tiny details and sweet expressions before they’re gone.
Here’s why families choose Suzanne Barber Images:

• Expertise in posed newborn photography
• A fully equipped studio in Little Elm, TX
• In-home posed sessions for ultimate comfort
• Access to props, wraps, headbands, and more
• Guided experience from start to finish

Whether you’re in Frisco, Prosper, Denton, McKinney, Aubrey or Little Elm — I’ve got you covered.

When Is the Best Time for Newborn Photos? The ideal window for posed newborn photography is between 5 and 14 days old, when babies are still sleepy and able to curl up into the traditional newborn poses.
To ensure availability, I recommend booking your session during pregnancy. Once your baby arrives, we’ll confirm the date based on their birth and your recovery.

Posed Sessions — In Studio or In Your Home
Many parents wonder:
“Can I get the same quality posed newborn photos at home as I would in a studio?”
With Suzanne Barber Images — absolutely.
I bring everything needed to your home: wraps, props, backdrops, posing tools, lighting, and a portable setup. You’ll get the same polished, posed images — just in the comfort of your own space.
✅ Studio Sessions
Located near Lakewood Village in Little Elm, TX, my studio offers a quiet, private environment with complete control over lighting and all the props and accessories readily available— perfect for seamless, posed setups.
✅ In-Home Posed Sessions
Don’t want to leave the house in those early postpartum days? No problem. I’ll bring the studio to you. There is a $60 travel fee, and I’ll handle setup, posing, and cleanup. The result? Studio-quality images without the commute.

How to Prepare for Your Newborn Session
To help things go smoothly, here’s how to prepare:

• Feed baby just before the session
  A full tummy helps babies stay sleepy and relaxed.
• Keep baby in easy-to-remove clothing
  A simple zip-up sleeper or swaddle works best.
• Warm your home (for in-home sessions)
  A warm environment keeps baby cozy for wrapped or unclothed poses.
• Have essentials on hand
  Diapers, wipes, a pacifier 
• Relax — I handle the rest
  I’ll guide you through everything, including posing, soothing, and safety.

What Kind of Photos Will We Take?
Whether in the studio or in your home, your newborn session includes a variety of:

• Classic posed newborn images
  Using wraps, props, and carefully styled setups
• Macro/detail shots
  Close-ups of fingers, toes, and lips
• Parent and sibling portraits
  Optional, at no extra charge, and posed with care
• Custom color palettes
  You’ll choose preferred colors ahead of time to match your style

All images are gently edited to highlight your baby’s natural beauty while softening blemishes, flakes, or baby acne as needed.

How Long Does a Newborn Session Take?
My sessions are scheduled for 2 hours, allowing plenty of time for feeding, diaper changes, and cuddles. I always go at baby’s pace, ensuring a stress-free experience for everyone.

Can I include siblings and parents in the session?
Absolutely. Family and sibling shots are included in your session at no extra cost.

No. All final images are fully edited. RAW files are not part of my offerings.
