If you’re wondering when the best time is for newborn photos, I recommend scheduling your session when your baby is between 7-14 days old. At this stage, newborns are still in that sleepy, curled-up phase, which allows us to create those dreamy, snuggly poses everyone loves. Their delicate features, tiny fingers and toes, and that newborn softness are easiest to capture during this period.
But here’s the thing—no matter how old your baby is, we can make it work! Babies grow and change so quickly, and every stage is worth documenting. Older newborns might give us more eye contact or a cheeky little smile, while three-month-olds bring expressions and developing personalities to the session.
The most important thing is to freeze this moment in time before it’s gone. Whether your baby is brand new or a little older, I’ll work with you to create images that celebrate this incredible season of life.
