Why Settling Bub Saves Your Pics

Settling your bub before snapping pics is a game-changer. Here’s why:

  • Quick: Just 5 minutes to go from chaos to calm—it puts both you and your little one at ease.
  • Easy: No pro tricks needed. Whether you’re using a phone or a DSLR, you’re good to go.
  • Wow: You’ll get cute shots fast. Mums, you’ll save those precious memories; pros, your clients will be singing your praises.
    Other tips might tell you to wait it out, but who has time for that? My way’s a breeze, free, and it works. Let’s get those bubs calm and ready for their close-up!

1. Snug Wrap – Instant Chill

  • The Struggle: A wiggly bub with arms flailing everywhere—impossible to get a good shot. Trust me, my early attempts were a mess!
  • The Fix: Wrap your bub snugly, tucking their arms in and keeping their legs cozy, like a little burrito. They’ll settle into sleepy vibes in seconds.
  • Tip: Leave those tiny fingers peeking out for an extra dose of cuteness after they’ve settled —no fuss needed. Mums, you’ll capture memories to cherish; pros, your clients will be thrilled. It’s too easy!

2. Shush Magic – Sound Trick

  • The Struggle: A screaming bub with a red face—total stress for everyone involved. I’ve been there, and yes, I’ve cried too!
  • The Fix: Shush loudly, like a vacuum cleaner—it was loud like that in the womb, and it calms them quickly.
  • Tip: Add a gentle rock—the rhythm seals the deal, and you can snap away. Beginners, you’ll find peace fast; pros, your shots will look pro-ready. Pure joy!

3. The Pro Secret – Calm Twist (Tease!)

  • The Struggle: Your bub is half-settled but still fidgety, and your pics just miss the mark. Even pros sometimes skip this step!
  • The Fix: My course reveals it—one simple tweak that settles them deeply, making your pics pop every time. Hint: it’s not just about noise!
  • Tip: Want the full calm-and-sleep trick? My free masterclass delivers—click below to get started. Mums, you’ll feel like a pro; pros, you’ll take your skills to the next level. Total fun!
