Welcoming a new baby into your family is a magical time, and capturing those precious first moments is something you’ll cherish forever. Newborn photography allows you to freeze time and document all the tiny details—the little toes, sleepy smiles, and the way they fit perfectly in your arms. But to make the most of your newborn session, it’s important to plan ahead. Here’s why booking your newborn session early is essential.
1. The Ideal Time for Newborn Photos
Newborn photography is best done within the first two weeks of your baby’s life, typically between 5-14 days old. During this time, babies are still very sleepy and can be easily posed into those adorable, curled-up positions. After this window, babies become more alert and may not be as comfortable with certain poses. By booking early, you can ensure your session falls within this sweet spot.
2. Secure Your Spot on the Schedule
As a maternity and newborn photographer, my calendar fills up quickly, especially during peak seasons. Booking your session during your second trimester not only guarantees your spot but also gives us ample time to plan your session. Whether you’re envisioning soft, neutral tones or a colorful, whimsical setup, early booking allows us to collaborate on every detail.
3. Peace of Mind Before Baby Arrives
Preparing for a newborn session can feel overwhelming when you’re already busy getting ready for your little one. By booking early, you’ll have one less thing to worry about as your due date approaches. We’ll handle the planning and logistics, so you can focus on your growing family.
4. Customized Experience
Every family is unique, and your newborn session should reflect that. When you book early, we have more time to discuss your preferences, whether it’s incorporating sentimental props, matching outfits, or creating a specific theme. The result is a gallery of images that feels truly personal and special.
5. Professional Availability and Preparation
Booking early ensures you’re working with a professional photographer who has experience handling newborns safely. Early planning also allows me to prepare the studio or travel setup, ensuring everything is sanitized and ready for your baby’s comfort and safety.
How to Book Your Newborn Session
Booking your session is simple! Here’s what the process looks like:
Reach Out Early: Contact me during your second trimester to reserve your due date on my calendar.
Plan the Details: Once booked, we’ll discuss your vision for the session, including color schemes, props, and poses.
