When to book your newborn photography session.

You can book your newborn photography session with me any time after your 20 week ultrasound scan and up to 6 weeks of age.

Your 20 week scan will give you the confidence to start all your planing for the future, you can book my services after this date and all I need to do is to pencil in your due date and then once baby has arrived just send me a quick message so we can arrange your date for your newborn photography session.

If your baby has already arrived and you have decided that now is the time to book your baby photography session, just contact me and I can normally find a date to book you in for a photo session. I will photograph babies up to 6 weeks of age. However I have been known to take babies up to 8 weeks of age if for example they arrived before their due date or you think your baby is still exceptionally calm. These are sometimes the most gratifying sessions as babies are much more alert and have reached the genuine smile stage.

In most cases however older babies become much more awake and active and are less likely to comply with a photo session.

I find that the best age to photograph babies is from 10-14 days when they are still sleepy and easy to curl up into the cute positions you see in my gallery. Each day after this babies are more and more alert and less likely to go into all the poses that could be attempted, However this does not mean a full gallery can not be achieved it will just be a little different in terms of poses and timeframe.

If you are not sure if it’s too late just message me and we can discuss if it’s still possible to do a newborn session.
