A baby shusher is an absolute must-have for newborn photography! It mimics the comforting sounds babies hear in the womb, helping them settle into a deep sleep for those perfect, squishy poses. While there are different brands available, I prefer one that includes a heartbeat setting—it’s a game-changer! The rhythmic shushing combined with the gentle heartbeat sound soothes fussy babies and keeps them relaxed throughout the session. A calm baby means a smoother shoot, less time spent settling, and more time capturing beautiful images. If you’re a newborn photographer, a reliable shusher is a small investment with BIG results!

The Lullu Vibe is a must-have for newborn photographers! Its gentle vibrations and soothing sounds help keep babies calm and settled, making sessions smoother and stress-free for both photographer and baby..

Discover my must-have newborn photography essentials on my Amazon list, featuring everything from soothing tools like shushers and the Lullu Vibe to cozy wraps, props, and lighting. These carefully selected items help create a seamless, stress-free session while elevating the luxury experience for both baby and parents. Shop now!
