By Jana Photography – Maternity, Newborn & Baby Photographer
Welcoming a new baby into your life is one of the most magical moments you’ll ever experience. At Jana Photography, we believe these early days — full of tiny yawns, sleepy snuggles, and delicate little details — deserve to be captured with care, creativity, and love.
If you’re an expecting parent in Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, North Vancouver, or Richmond, here are our top newborn photography tips to help you prepare for a beautiful and stress-free session with your little one.
1. Book Early — During Your Second Trimester
Newborn sessions are ideally conducted within the first 6–30 days after birth when babies are at their sleepiest and most cooperative for posing. Our calendar fills up quickly, especially during peak seasons, so we recommend reaching out while you’re still in your second trimester to secure your session with a trusted Vancouver newborn photographer.
2. Choose an Experienced Newborn Photographer
Newborn photography is not just about taking pictures — it’s about creating safe, lasting memories that will last a lifetime. At Jana Photography, we specialize exclusively in maternity, newborn, and baby photography. We’re trained in baby safety to ensure your newborn is always comfortable and secure throughout the session.
3. Enjoy a Cozy Indoor Studio Experience
Let’s be honest — Vancouver weather can be unpredictable! That’s why our sessions take place in our warm and welcoming studio, designed to keep your baby safe, cozy, and calm. We provide everything from wraps to props to soft lighting for a relaxed and beautiful experience.
4. Feed Baby Before the Session for Sleepy Magic
A full, sleepy baby is perfect for those dreamy, curled-up poses. Try to feed your little one right before the session, and dress them in a loose outfit that’s easy to remove. Our sessions are always baby-led, with plenty of time for feeding, changing, and cuddling.
5. Make it a Family Moment — Even Pets Are Welcome!
Your newborn session is about your whole family — including siblings and even pets! At Jana Photography, we’re proud to be one of the few infant photography studios in Vancouver that welcomes dogs. Including your furry friend or your older child adds warmth and personality to your gallery.
6. Stick with Soft, Neutral Wardrobe Choices
We always suggest soft, neutral colors like cream, beige, or pastel tones for parents and siblings — they photograph beautifully and keep the focus on your baby. Don’t worry about bringing baby outfits — we have an extensive collection of props and accessories to choose from.
7. Relax and Let Us Take Care of Everything
Every baby is unique, and we adapt to ensure your little one is happy and safe. Our calm, patient approach enables us to gently guide the session according to your baby’s needs — allowing you to simply sit back and enjoy the moment.
✨ Packages for Every Family

❤️ What Our Clients Say
“We went to get photos of our newborn done recently. The baby was 1 week old, so I was feeling a bit nervous about her acting up. Well, it turns out that the photographer was a baby whisperer! He knew how to keep the baby calm and happy throughout the entire session. We loved watching him work, and we especially loved the beautiful photos of our baby and our family of 3. They are so cute, and the photographer just knew what to do. Thank you Jana Photography. We will be back for future photo sessions with our family!”
