Introducing a new baby into the family unit is an amazing and overwhelming time, especially when an older sibling is also present. If you are considering booking newborn photos in Charlotte NC I encourage you As a mama of three baby girls, I know your head is spinning with all your questions. Will the siblings get along? How do I manage both kids? As a newborn photographer in Charlotte, NC, and a mama myself, I am here to tell you to take a deep breath and know that everything is okay!

To ensure you receive images you are going to love; we are sharing tips for including older siblings in newborn photos in Charlotte NC. Keep reading!
1. Take breaks during your newborn session in Charlotte NC
Taking breaks during a newborn session with older siblings is incredibly important. The length of a newborn session can vary; we may be taking breaks so mama can feed the baby or if a toddler is restless and needs to step away for a minute.
Going for a walk, listening to music, and just taking a minute to change scenery can always help!
2. Bring snacks to your newborn session in Charlotte NC
This is a must-do and something I always make sure to remind moms about before their sessions.
We all have been there where we get “hangry,” and the same goes for kids. Make sure to keep it a simple snack, such as cheerios, or goldfish, nothing that is going to turn moths green or leave kids with grimy hands! This will keep them happy and prevent a meltdown, and it is perfect for when we need to take a break.
3. Always keep smiling during a newborn session with your older children
I know this one can be so hard, especially if your oldest child is having a hard time! However, it is so important to smile during anything that is going on. I promise you at the moment; it can seem like everything is chaotic and not going the way you envisioned. Kids feed off your energy, so it is important to remember that during your session.
I hope these tips have helped put your mind at ease when booking your newborn photos. To learn more about the experience, and do reserve your session, click here.
