One of the questions I often get asked is, “When is the best time to take newborn photos?” Well, let me share some insights with you that will help you pick the best time to book your newborn photos and how to be prepared on the day of the shoot.
The Sweet Spot: Within the First Two Weeks
The best time to take newborn photos is within the first two weeks after your baby’s arrival. During this time, newborns are typically sleepier, more flexible, and easier to pose. Plus, they still have that adorable newborn curl and delicate features that you’ll want to remember forever.
Embracing the Newborn Phase
Newborns change so quickly in those first few weeks of life. Capturing them during this time allows you to freeze those fleeting moments and preserve them forever. From their tiny fingers and toes to their sleepy smiles and adorable yawns, newborn photoshoots are all about celebrating the beauty of this precious phase.
Keeping it Comfortable
I always recommend scheduling your newborn photoshoot when your baby is most content and comfortable. That might mean choosing a time of day when they’re usually sleepiest or after a feeding when they’re nice and full. A happy and relaxed baby makes for a smoother and more enjoyable photoshoot experience for everyone involved.
Creating a Cozy Environment
When it comes to newborn photography, creating a cozy and inviting environment is key. I’ll bring along soft blankets, wraps, and props to keep your baby warm and comfortable throughout the session. We’ll work together to ensure that your little one feels safe and secure, allowing their natural beauty to shine through in every photo.
Your Memories, Preserved Forever
Ultimately, the best time to take newborn photos is whenever it feels right for you and your family. Whether it’s within the first two weeks or a little later, the important thing is to capture those precious moments and create memories that you’ll cherish for a lifetime. As your photographer, I’m here to help you do just that.
