FAQ:
When is the best time to photograph a newborn? For that sleepy, curled-up look: 4–14 days old is the sweet spot. But beautiful newborn photos can still happen later - babies just behave differently (more alert, more stretches, more personality, less sleepy, skin irregularities).
How long does a newborn session take? Plan for 2–3 hours. Babies run the show - feeding, soothing, diaper changes, breaks. Better results happen when the baby's regular feeding is done at the studio, so we can take advantage of a sleepy baby.
What do we need to bring? Very little: extra milk/formula if used, pacifier (even if they don’t normally take one), diapers, and a simple outfit. I’ll guide you based on your session type.
What should parents wear for newborn photos? Neutral, soft tones and simple outfits photograph best. Avoid big logos and busy patterns.
