What to Expect When Booking Newborn Photography Session

1. What to expect when booking a newborn photography session
Newborn’s first photography session is recommended to be scheduled within 7-12 days of birth. Parents should do their research and find a photographer they trust. We recommend calling and having a consult before your session so you can prepare in advance.

It’s important to ask questions and make sure that the photographer has experience with newborns and is familiar with their delicate needs. Once you have chosen your photographer, discuss what you would like from the session and any ideas that you have.

Parents should ensure they are well prepared for a newborn photography session. Before the session, your photographer will likely give you instructions on how to prepare. Gather any special family heirlooms such as a special blankets that you may want to include in the session. Additionally, parents may want to bring a change of clothes for both themselves and the baby in case of accidents or spills.
