How to Involve Siblings in Newborn Photo Sessions

Including older siblings in your newborn photo session is a beautiful way to capture the bond between them and the new baby. But it’s also a great way to make older siblings feel included and valued during a big transition in the family.

Here’s how we can make the session fun, natural, and meaningful for everyone.

1. Give Them a Role

From holding the baby (with guidance) to wrapping a blanket or helping with a bottle, giving siblings a small role in the session makes them feel important.

2. Capture Real Interactions

Encourage siblings to share their favorite toys, read a story, or give the baby gentle kisses. These moments highlight their unique bond and create heartwarming images.

3. Make It Fun

Let them play, show off their personality, or take breaks when needed. The key is to keep things relaxed and let their genuine connection shine.
