When Should I Book My Newborn Session?

One of the most common questions I hear from expectant parents is when to book newborn photos. Planning ahead makes all the difference in creating a calm, flexible, and enjoyable experience.

Newborn Sessions (Best Booked During Pregnancy)

Newborn sessions are ideally photographed when your baby is between 7–14 days old. During this time, babies are still very sleepy, curly, and content being gently posed. This allows for those soft, timeless images so many parents love.

Because babies arrive on their own schedule, newborn sessions are best pre-booked during pregnancy. I only photograph a limited number of newborns each month to ensure flexibility and a relaxed experience, so reserving a spot ahead of time is always recommended. Once your baby arrives, we can adjust the date if baby has come early or late.

If your baby has already arrived and you’re wondering if it’s too late, don’t worry. Reach out and I’ll always do my best to accommodate when possible, even if your baby has passed the 14 day mark.
