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!
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.
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!
Has it been a while since you got a good photo of you with your kids Didn’t book a newborn or family session because of the price? Do you just want a handful of images of you and your kiddos for your wall? Then Spring 2025 Boston Motherhood mini photo sessions are perfect for you!
I’m often asked, “how old should my baby be for newborn photos?” Every photographer has a different opinion for the perfect age for newborn photography. My personal preference is 2 weeks. BUT, while there was a time that I felt pretty strongly about this, I really don’t care that much how old your baby is...
Excited for 2 days in a row of newbies 🥰
Can’t wait to meet this baby today 😍 #bostonnewbornphotographer #newbornphotography #newbornphotographer #bostonfamilyphotographer #motherhood #bostonnewbornphotography
