When is the best time to get the Newborn Photos?

Well, It is best recommended that newborn photos are done in the first 5-15 days of the baby's birth. WHY?

1. They are still in the curly phase, and their bodies are still getting used to the external environment but they love to be curled up and swaddled, which reminds them of mommy's womb.
2. They are sleepy - your baby is just out of the womb and they love to sleep, which makes it easier to pose them and get pictures done. As we delay the photo shoot, they are much more active and want to see the world around them. This makes it harder to get them in curly poses and swaddle them.

What if I missed the first 15 days window for a baby photoshoot?

Babies are considered newborns until the first 6 weeks. We can work with them as a newborn till then although certain poses won't be possible as their little bones are much harder than they were a month ago. It is a very baby-led photoshoot. I don't force any pose on the babies and we go with the flow of the newborns!

What if my Baby is premature?

Premies once out of the hospital are just as good as newborns. I consider their bodies are in the same process of growth as they were in the womb so if the baby is 2 weeks early, we can get pictures done until 4 weeks as their technical due date is still 2 weeks in advance. Although it also depends on baby weight here so its better we talk to photographer to get best advice for your special case.
