Here are a few from a recent newborn photo session. This family was so good and came to me when baby E was only a couple of days old. Mom was referred to me from some previous clients of mine, so she already knew that I like those babies in the first two weeks. I like babies of all ages, but when it comes to newborn sessions I prefer them in the first two weeks in order to capture those fresh and unique newborn moments that are only visible for a short period of time.
Another big reason is once baby turns two weeks old , many will get a case of baby acne. Some dont, but the majority do. It is a whole lot easier to photograph a baby with out that rash and the bumpy skin it creates. Also babies that are less then two weeks old are still very sleepy and willing to be put in position that makes for beautiful newborn portraits. With that said, I will still be happy to photograph your baby if you miss that precious newborn stage. However if you are planning ahead and would like some gorgeous newborn portraits like these. Then I suggest you contact me when you are still pregnant and let me know you are expecting a newborn and want to scedule a session. This way we will not miss that special time. I tend to book about three to four weeks in advance. The age I prefer to photograph after the initial newborn session is between 4-7 month. Then the babies are able to hold their heads up and smile. Towards the six -seven month age, most of those babies can also sit up by them selves at that time.
I look forward to work with you.
