The ideal time for a newborn photography session is within the first 5 to 14 days after birth. During this window, babies are typically sleepier, more flexible, and easier to pose gently and comfortably.
That said, every family and baby is different – if you miss that window, don’t worry. I still love photographing slightly older newborns, though the session might be more about capturing personality, expressions, and family connection rather than lots of curled poses. When you book, I’ll keep your due date in mind and reserve space so we can choose the best day once your little one arrives.
