Today we have a special guest blog post by Katie Hardy who was generous enough to give us a behind the scenes look at how she prepares and how she sets up her newborn workflow in her studio!

If you’re like me, storytelling doesn’t come naturally, but here are some tips that can help you get started!

When creating an inviting space for your littlest clients, you should thoughtfully consider several factors. Is it comfortable for mom and dad, soothing to the baby, and practical for you as a photographer? Size does not matter!
