Welcoming a newborn into your family is a momentous occasion filled with love, joy, and countless precious moments. As a parent, you naturally want to capture and preserve these fleeting early days with your little one. That’s where newborn family pictures come in, allowing you to freeze those cherished moments in time and create lasting memories that you can treasure forever.

Lisa Carr, newborn family photographer at Belly to Baby Studios, specializes in capturing beautiful and heartfelt newborn family portraits. Our experienced newborn photographers understand the significance of these early bonding moments and strive to create authentic, emotive images that reflect the love and connection within your family. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through the ideal timing for scheduling your photo session and provide valuable tips to ensure stunning photographs that will be treasured for a lifetime.

Timing is Key: When to Schedule Newborn Family Pictures

To help you plan and schedule your newborn family portraits, we’ve put together a guide to ensure you don’t miss out on capturing those tender moments:

1. Within the First Two Weeks: The ideal time to schedule your newborn family session is within the first two weeks after your baby’s arrival. During this period, babies are still very sleepy and flexible, making it easier to pose them and capture those adorable curled-up poses.
2. Time for Recovery: It’s important to consider your own well-being when planning the session. Allow yourself enough time to recover from childbirth and adjust to the new routine with your baby before scheduling the session. Typically, waiting until the second week after birth gives you a chance to settle in and feel more comfortable during the session.
3. Feeding and Naps: To ensure a smooth and relaxed session, plan around your baby’s feeding and napping schedule. It’s best to feed your baby right before the session to keep them content and sleepy. Additionally, a well-rested baby is more likely to be cooperative during the session, making it easier to capture those precious moments.
4. Involving the Whole Family: Newborn family pictures are not just about capturing your baby but also about celebrating the love and connection within your family. We encourage parents and siblings to be part of the session, creating beautiful memories and showcasing the bonds that make your family unique.
5. Comfort and Safety: The comfort and safety of your baby are our top priorities. Our photographers are trained to handle newborns with care and expertise, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone involved. We provide a warm and cozy environment in our studio, allowing you and your baby to relax and feel at ease during the session.

Baby Sessions: Capturing Milestones Beyond the Newborn Window

If your baby has passed the newborn stage and you missed the window for newborn family pictures, don’t worry! At Belly to Baby Studios, we believe that every stage of your baby’s growth is worth capturing and celebrating. While we may not be able to recreate the curled-up poses and sleepy newborn look, we can still create beautiful and meaningful photographs of your older baby.

Babies grow and change so quickly, and every stage brings its own unique charm and milestones. From the first smiles and giggles to sitting up, crawling, and even taking their first steps, each moment is precious and deserves to be documented. Our baby sessions are designed to capture the personality, expressions, and milestones of your growing little one.

Whether your baby is a few months old or reaching their first birthday, we create a comfortable and engaging environment where their natural curiosity and playfulness can shine through.

Is It Safe to Have Newborn Portraits Done?
5 Things You Need to Know

When you’re pregnant, one of the things you may start to think about is newborn portraits. But is it safe to have newborn portraits done? It is crucial to ensure that your newborn is safe and comfortable during the shoot. In this blog post, we will discuss 5 things you need to know before having newborn portraits taken.

1. Choose an Experienced Newborn Portraits Photographer
   When selecting a newborn photographer, prioritize their experience in newborn portrait photography and their expertise in safely posing newborns. Ensure that the photographer is up-to-date on newborn safety guidelines. Request to see their portfolio to gauge their proficiency in this specialized field. Finding an experienced photographer is vital for your baby’s safety and capturing beautiful portraits.
   
2. Inquire About Safety Procedures
   Ask the photographer about their safety procedures, including how they handle unexpected issues like fussy newborns or discomfort during the session. At Belly to Baby Studios, we maintain a clean studio environment, wash props after each use, and have a dedicated assistant to aid with baby safety throughout the session. Your baby’s safety is our top priority.
   
3. Verify Vaccination and Studio Cleanliness
   Prioritize your baby’s safety by ensuring that the photographer and their assistant are up-to-date on necessary vaccinations to protect against infections. The studio should be clean and free of bacteria. Newborns are sensitive to temperature, so confirm that the studio will maintain a warm environment. You can also bring your baby’s blanket or wrap to enhance their comfort.
   
4. Always Have an Assistant Present
   Newborns should never be left unattended during a photography session. It’s essential to have an assistant present to guarantee the safety of both your baby and the photographer. At Belly to Baby Studios, we always have an assistant on set to ensure your baby’s relaxation and safety throughout the session.
   
5. Awareness of Potential Hazards
   Be vigilant about potential hazards in the photography studio, such as cords and other objects that could harm your newborn. Ensure that the photographer is aware of these risks and takes necessary precautions to protect your baby. Don’t hesitate to voice your concerns and ask questions. Your comfort and safety are paramount during this precious time.

Rest assured that your newborn is in excellent hands and will be well cared for during their photo session. Take a break, relax, and let us capture those priceless newborn moments for you. These memories are a treasure that will last a lifetime.
