One of the most common questions that clients ask when they inquire about a newborn session with me is, “when is the best time to schedule their session.”
As you may have seen here, my newborn photography is not the typical, traditional baby pictures that you may have seen elsewhere. I do what is called a Lifestyle Newborn session, which is taken usually in the comfort of your own home and not so posed, mostly in the comfort of their parents arms.
Because of this, I don’t require your newborn to be just a few days old like many newborn photographers. (Some photographers who use props require that your newborn be only just a few days old so that they can posed a certain way while staying asleep, which is more easily accomplished the younger the baby is.)
With the lifestyle sessions, my focus is really more on motherhood and the irreplaceable
connection between a mother and her child-it’s really important that Mom has some time after the birth to feel a bit more like herself because mothers play a huge role in each of my newborn sessions.
For the best time for these sessions, for me, are typically between 2-3 weeks following birth. For my c-section mamas, usually closer to 3 to allow for them to heal. ❤️
