The Ideal Window: 5-14 Days Old

During this time, babies are still very sleepy and can be easily posed. They’re also less likely to be disturbed by movement, making it easier to capture those curled-up, peaceful shots.

Preserve Their Newborn Look

Babies grow quickly, and their features change rapidly within the first few weeks. A session within the first two weeks preserves their tiny, delicate appearance.

Minimise Fussiness

Newborns tend to sleep longer and more deeply in the early days, which helps ensure a smooth and fuss-free session.

Accommodate Recovery Time

Scheduling within this window gives parents a little time to adjust after birth while still capturing those fleeting early moments.

Flexibility for Special Circumstances

If your baby arrives prematurely or has special needs, talk to your photographer early, so they can adjust the timing and approach to ensure a successful session.
