A newborn photoshoot is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that captures the magical moments of your baby’s earliest days. At Mohastudio, we specialize in luxury newborn photography for both Emirati and expat families in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. To help you prepare, we’ve put together the ultimate list of tips every mama should know before coming in for a session.


1. Book Early – Ideally During Pregnancy


Newborn sessions are best scheduled when your baby is between 5 to 14 days old, when they are still sleepy and curl easily into those adorable poses. We recommend booking during your second or third trimester to secure your spot.


2. Keep Your Baby Awake Before the Session


Try to keep your baby awake for 1-2 hours before the shoot. This will help them sleep more soundly during the session, allowing us to capture peaceful, dreamy shots.


3. Feed Just Before the Photoshoot


A full tummy = a happy baby. Feeding your baby just before the session helps keep them calm and sleepy. If possible, bring an extra bottle or be ready to breastfeed in our private nursing area.


4. Dress Baby in Easy-to-Remove Clothing


To avoid waking your baby, bring them in a loose onesie or button-down outfit. No need for fancy clothes — we’ll provide all wraps, outfits, and props at the studio.


5. Bring a Pacifier (Even if They Don’t Normally Use One)


Pacifiers can help soothe your baby between poses and transitions. It’s a handy tool to keep them calm and content during the session.


6. Stay Calm and Relaxed


Babies sense energy. When you’re calm, they’re calm too. Our all-female team at Mohastudio is trained in newborn safety and comfort, so you can sit back, relax, and trust us to handle everything.


7. Be Patient – Baby Leads the Session


Every baby is different. We take breaks for feeding, soothing, and changing, as needed. Our sessions typically last 2 to 3 hours, depending on the baby’s mood and cooperation.


8. Consider Family or Sibling Shots


This is a beautiful opportunity to create timeless family portraits. Coordinate outfits in neutral tones to keep the focus on your baby.


9. Trust the Photographer’s Vision


We carefully design every session with artistic storytelling and your preferences in mind. Trust our creative process and enjoy watching the magic unfold.


10. Don’t Stress – We’ve Got You


Whether it’s your first baby or your fifth, we’re here to make this experience unforgettable. We handle all the details so you can focus on the love and joy of welcoming your little one.
