When is the best time?

Lately I have received many calls from parents asking to schedule their baby's session when the baby is already 2 months old...while every age is an amazing milestone newborn session have their "golden window".


So when is it?


The best time to do a newborn photography session is during that magical "golden window" within the first 2 weeks of life—ideally between 5 and 10 days old. Why? Well, during this time, your little one is still in that sleepy, contented phase and is easily soothed. They’re naturally curled up, just like when they were in the womb, which is perfect for those serene, cuddly poses everyone loves. Plus, they tend to stay asleep longer, allowing the photographer to capture those peaceful moments without interruption.


Don't worry if you miss the 2-week mark! Newborn sessions can be wonderful at any age, even up to 6 weeks. As your baby grows, they become more awake and alert, allowing for different photo styles, like lifestyle shots with family.

The best time depends on your desired photos. For sleepy, curly poses, book early; for early expressions and family moments, a slightly older baby can be just as beautiful!


I always recommend scheduling your newborn photography session during your last trimester. This way, you can take your time to explore various photographers, ensuring you find the perfect match for your family's style and needs.


Taking these steps will ensure that your newborn photography experience is as smooth and enjoyable as possible. We can't wait to help you capture the beauty of your growing family!
