When to Book a Newborn Photography Session

For the softest sleepy newborn portraits, families often book newborn sessions within the first few weeks after birth. However, beautiful baby portraits can be created at many stages.

The best time to schedule a newborn photography session is usually during the early newborn stage, when babies are still very sleepy and naturally curled. That said, every baby and family is different, and meaningful portraits can also be created later.

Expecting parents are encouraged to inquire before the baby arrives so a flexible session window can be planned.
