Newborn sessions are flexible and baby-led. We take breaks as needed for feeding, changing, and soothing to ensure a comfortable experience for everyone.
What if my baby is fussy or needs to be fed during the session?
Outdoor sessions are ideally held around 1 hour before sunset, while studio or in-home sessions are best between 9 AM and 12 PM for optimal lighting. Keep in mind time change for outdoor sessions.
What time do sessions usually take place?
The ideal time for a newborn session is within the first two weeks of birth when babies are at their sleepiest and have that adorable, squishy newborn look. However, with the lifestyle approach, up to six weeks is okay as well! The earlier you reach out and book, the better.
