Capturing Precious Moments: Newborn Photography with Older Siblings

Welcoming a new baby into your family is one of life’s most magical experiences. At Miriam Dubinsky Photography, we specialize in natural newborn photography in NYC, capturing the tender bond between your newest addition and their older sibling(s). These moments are fleeting, but through timeless photography, they become memories you’ll treasure forever. It is so much fun to capture the connection in newborn photography with older siblings.

Why Include Older Siblings in Newborn Photos?

Including older siblings in your newborn photo session is a wonderful way to document the beginning of a lifelong relationship. It helps older children feel involved during this exciting transition and showcases the unique bond they share with their new baby brother or sister. It captures the family as a whole unity and their love and connection towards each other

Photographs that feature siblings are more than just images—they’re keepsakes that reflect the warmth, love, and connection within your growing family.

Tips for a Successful Newborn Photography with Older Siblings

At Miriam Dubinsky Photography, we’ve mastered the art of creating a stress-free experience for families. Here are our top tips to ensure a successful photo session with siblings:

1. Schedule Wisely for Happy Smiles

Plan the session for a time when older siblings are well-rested and fed. Morning sessions often work best as children tend to be at their happiest then.

2. Prepare the Older Siblings

Talk to your older child(ren) about the photo session in advance. Show them examples of sibling and newborn photos to get them excited and help them understand their special role.

3. Embrace Natural Interactions

We encourage playful and genuine moments during our sessions—like older siblings cuddling their baby brother or sister, planting a gentle kiss, or holding their tiny hands. These organic interactions make for the most heartfelt photographs.

4. Prioritize Safety and Comfort

Your newborn’s safety is always our top priority. All poses are carefully planned to ensure comfort and security, with parents close by to assist as needed.

5. Keep It Fun and Stress-free

Children’s attention spans can be unpredictable, so we keep the session engaging and concise. Using toys, games, or even favorite songs can help keep older siblings happily involved. My aim is to make it feel like a playdate where we get to capture stress free authentic moments and creating memories
