There’s something special about every stage of your baby’s first year, so there isn’t a single “right” time – it really depends on the kind of images you’d love most.
If you miss the newborn stage or decide it’s not for you, I usually recommend waiting until your baby has a little more strength and can lift their head during tummy time. Around this stage, babies are more alert and expressive, which gives us much more variety in your final images.
Before babies have good head and neck control, they’re quite limited in how they can be posed, but once they’re a little stronger, we can capture more interaction, expressions, and personality as they begin to emerge.
If you’re unsure which stage might suit you best, I’m always happy to talk it through and help you choose.
