When should I schedule my newborn session?

Newborn sessions should be booked for one week after your due date. But as we all know, newborns are tricky, they come when they want to. In fact, they do everything when they want to. Especially eating.

Book early

It is recommended that you book your session between twenty five and thirty weeks pregnant. In doing so you are on my calendar. I only take a very limited number of due dates per week so that adjusting based on your baby’s arrival will not be a problem for our schedule.

What if my baby arrives early? Or late?

If your baby arrives early or late, then we simply adjust your booked session date. Just keep me posted and we will be sure to get your date adjusted without worry.

How old should my baby be?

For newborns, one to ten days old is best for their sessions. In adjusting your booked date, we want to try to keep within that window, if possible. If the hospital decides to keep you longer, we will adjust for when you and your baby are home, safe and sound.

What if we miss the ten day window?

Things happen. It is totally understandable. But it is better to have portraits of your little bundle than to miss completely. So even if you are a little late to getting booked, contact me so we can get some beautiful portraits of your baby.

Babies change so quickly from the newborn phase to the baby phase. Our goal is to capture your sweet, sleepy newborn with all the precious little details. If you are expecting, message me with your due date. If you know someone expecting, please forward this to them. I would be so honored to capture portraits of your beautiful little newborn. Portraits for you to cherish and memories to savor.
