When to Book Your Newborn Photo Session
The newborn stage, full of newborn scrunches and sleepy snuggles, can pass by so quickly. A professional newborn photo session is the perfect way to capture their little fingers and delicate features. Documenting these precious moments will give you timeless memories you can treasure forever. If you’re wondering when to book your newborn photoshoot, the simple answer is – as early as possible!
How Far in Advance Should You Book?
To guarantee availability, I recommend booking your newborn photography session during your second trimester. My diary fills up quickly, especially for sessions in peak months, so securing your spot early ensures you don’t miss out.
Newborn photo sessions are best done within the first few weeks or baby’s arrival. Typically, I recommend getting them in between 5 and 14 days old. The reason for newborn sessions being between these ages is because your little one tends to be most sleepy at this stage. Which makes it perfect for these sessions as it helps with posing and getting those super cute sleepy photos.
Booking in advance allows me to schedule your session based on your due date – generally this is a week following your due date.
What If My Baby Arrives Early or Late?
I always allow for a little flexibility in my schedule for newborn sessions.
If your baby arrives earlier or later than expected, get in touch and we can change your booking.
Why Book Early?
- Limited Availability – I take a limited number of newborn sessions each month to ensure each family receives a relaxed and stress-free experience.
- Timing – A newborn is at their sleepiest and easier to pose within the first two weeks. Which helps to create those sweet sleepy, curled-up images we love.
- Peace of Mind – Planning ahead checks one thing off your list, meaning one less thing to worry about when baby arrives!
- Guaranteed slot – Booking in advance means you have a session, no matter when your little one arrives.
