When should you book your newborn session? Every photographer is different for this, but ideally you should book during your first or second trimester. This makes sure the photographer has your due date available! Most photographers only book a certain amount of newborns a month, make sure you are in there!

The best time to book your newborn photos is when you are around 20 weeks along. You will want to photograph your baby when they are between 5-17 days.

Really? Book your newborn photos while you are still pregnant?

Yes! Here’s why. Most photographers only accept a certain amount of newborn clients per month. This ensures that we are able to capture each newborn within the 2 ish weeks that is best for photos. You really want to capture your newborn baby while they are 17 days are less.

But isn’t my baby still a newborn at 2 months old?

In the real world yes. Yes they are. But in photography world, newborn photoshoots are done within 2-3 weeks. This is because after two weeks of age, babies start waking up more and are less posable. Simply put, babies 2 weeks or under sleep a lot more and squish into poses better.

So if I forget to book within the first two weeks, is it too late for a newborn session?

No. While it is preferred that you bring your baby for their session in studio while they are under the 2ish weeks, it is not mandatory. Some photographers will turn you away, but others like me will gladly still take your little one in studio and capture them. All poses are not guaranteed, and you have more awake shots than asleep, but it is definitely still possible!

It is never too early to book your newborn photographer. I have had clients book me at 7 weeks along! They know they want their baby’s photos done by me and wanted to ensure that I would have an opening for them. So as soon as you know which newborn photographer that you want to use, book them to be safe!
