FAQ
When should I book my newborn session?
It’s best to book your newborn session during your pregnancy to guarantee availability. Most parents reserve their spot during the second or third trimester. Once your baby arrives, we will schedule the exact session date.
What is the best age for newborn photos?
The best time for newborn photos is typically between 7–14 days after birth. During this time, babies are usually sleepier and easier to gently pose, which allows us to capture those sweet curled-up newborn poses.
How long does a newborn session take?
Newborn sessions are designed to be slow and relaxed to keep your baby comfortable. Most sessions last around 2–3 hours, allowing plenty of time for feeding, soothing, and capturing a variety of images.
Do I need to bring anything to the newborn session?
I provide many of the wraps, blankets, and props used during the session. I recommend bringing extra diapers, a pacifier (even if your baby doesn’t usually use one), and anything you may need for feeding to help keep your baby comfortable during the session.
What should parents and siblings wear for newborn photos?
Soft, neutral colors such as creams, whites, soft pastels, and earth tones photograph beautifully for newborn sessions. Simple outfits without busy patterns keep the focus on your baby and create timeless images.
