When’s the best time to book newborn photos? (Hint: it’s sooner than you think!)
If you’re expecting a little one (congrats, by the way!), you’ve probably got a long to-do list—nursery setup, hospital bag, baby names, and maybe remembering to feed yourself in between. But one thing that’s totally worth adding to that list? Booking your newborn photos!
Welcoming a new baby into your family is one of the most incredible moments of your life. Those first few weeks are a blur of tiny fingers, sweet snuggles, and sleepy newborn stretches. And while the newborn stage passes quickly, professional photography can freeze those moments in time forever.
But with so many photographers out there, how do you choose the right newborn photographer for your family? Here’s what to consider to ensure you find someone who matches your vision, style, and needs.
Pregnancy and the newborn stage are two of the most fleeting and precious times in a family’s journey. While maternity photography captures the excitement and anticipation of welcoming your baby, newborn photography preserves those early, delicate moments once your little one arrives. Booking both a maternity and newborn photography session ensures you document the full story—from bump to baby—with beautiful, timeless images you’ll cherish forever.
Newborn photography is all about capturing the precious first moments of your baby’s life in a way that feels timeless and natural. A cozy and minimalist approach allows the focus to remain on your baby, creating soft, organic, and natural images. Whether you’re planning an in-home or studio session, here are some tips to achieve a simple, warm, and beautifully minimalist look for your newborn photoshoot.
When I hopped on the phone with Christine to discuss her Savin Hill Dorchester Newborn Photographer session, she told me something that I have heard over and over. She wasn’t planning on hiring a professional photographer, but now her baby was 7 weeks old and she realized she only had (not so great) iPhone photos of her! Not only that, but MOM wasn’t in most of them! She really wanted to document this time while her baby is tiny, and ALSO be in the pictures!
Come on sun, do it!
