When to Take Newborn Photos



The first two weeks is generally the best time to take newborn photos. Although i have found the sweet spot is 7 - 10 days . That's because during this time your baby is still very sleepy , baby acne has cleared and they have a good grasp on feeding. This makes it easier to get those curled up sleepy poses that you will cherish forever.

When Should I Book My Newborn Photos?


Did you know only 5% off babies come on their due date ? Don't stress thou the best time to book in your newborn photos is in your second or third trimester. We give you a 'floating date' , this is a date 4 - 14 days days after your due date. When baby arrives you just flick me a message and we can see if your floating date is still a good fit. If its not we just adjust your date.
