When a client is inquiring with me about booking a newborn session, I always recomend to start to look for a photographer about 4-6 weeks before the babys due-date so you can have one locked in. That is one less thing to stress about in the last 30 days of pregancy. Once baby is here between 5-14 days old is generally when I like to schedule the session. The sweetspot tends to be around the 7-10 day old mark. This time is what works best for photographers and mommas because baby is typically still very sleepy.

During my newborn sessions I always recomend feeding right before the session starts. Bring an extra bottle if needed it is totally okay with me that we take a break halfwway through should the baby need a feeding (breastfed or bottle is A-OKAY with me). I want my clients to feel welcomed and comfortable. Bring an extra change of clothes & diaper for baby as well, accidents happen and we want to be prepared.

For me, I am more of a Lifestyle Photographer and love to get candid shots of the family with baby. If you are considering me for your photography needs, let's get together and chat!
