BABIES and Newborns

The most precious time to photograph a newborn is between 5-10 days of life. During this time babies will usually hold some of the natural curl from when they were in mommy. Newborn babies are also more sleepy and flexible for the most desired poses. Your curling, sleeping newborn will make for the most memorable and meaningful photographs. At two weeks newborns usually hit a growth spurt and much of the session is spent feeding rather than taking pictures so preferably I try to schedule the shoot before the baby is 2 weeks old. Sessions for newborns usually take anywhere from 1-2 hours to leave room for changing, feeding, and cuddling in between shots.

Newborn sessions are generally booked 1-3 months in advance.
