Newborn Session or Wait Until 3+ Months?

The truth is, you just do not know if you will feel up for a Newborn Photo Shoot until you’ve delivered your baby and settled back at home. How your delivery went, how your baby is adjusting, how you are recovering, and so on can all be so unpredictable, even if it is not your first baby! And that’s ok.

I encourage my families to book a Newborn Session, but once you are home, if you decide you just aren’t ready we can push it out a bit. Especially if you don’t plan to book multiple sessions during that first year of your baby’s life, a 3-6 month session is actually better in my opinion because your child’s personality has truly started to shine by then. This is the stage I think most people remember most when they think about their “baby.” And huge bonus, YOU tend to feel better by then, and more like yourself.

Regardless of when we schedule your session, I will help make it go smoothly, help you relax and enjoy it, and help create beautiful, meaningful photographs for you.
