When Should I Schedule My Newborn Shoot?| Wooster, OH Newborn Photographer

So you have a baby on the way or just recently given birth. You may be wondering, when should I schedule a newborn photo session. Newborns change quickly and you are probably eager to capture those sweet new details before they pass you by.

I’m here to answer a couple of the most common questions I get to help you along the booking process. 

What is the best age for a newborn session 

The short answer is any age is good. There is no ideal or perfect age in my opinion. Anytime in the first three months works well.

I am a Lifestyle photographer, meaning I do not require a very sleepy “new” newborn because there is minimal posing. I believe newborns are beautiful just the way they are and should be captured that way. What is most important is when mom feels ready.  

When should I schedule my newborn session

When I speak with soon-to-be moms I always recommend any time after the first two weeks. It allows you some time to heal, rest, and develop a new routine within your family. I write your due date down on my calendar and wait for the email letting me know baby has arrived. After that, we officially schedule a shoot for when you feel up to it.

If you’ve already had your baby, it’s not too late to schedule. You can get a hold of me and we can work out a time that is best for you!

Also, the babies pictured range from 2-6 weeks. It's never too late!
