When to Book Your Newborn’s Session & How to Prepare for a Beautiful Photoshoot
Aug 31, 2025 | By: Joanne McSorley Photography
Booking your newborn's photography session as early as possible is one of the best decisions you can make to capture those first precious moments. Ideally, you should schedule your session before your baby arrives—usually during your third trimester. This ensures your preferred date and time right after your baby is born, when they are still very small and sleepy, which makes for the most peaceful and adorable photos.
How to Get Ready for Your Newborn Photoshoot
Preparing both your baby and yourself for the session can help make the experience smooth and enjoyable:
- Timing: Newborn sessions typically take place within the first two weeks of birth. During this time, babies are more likely to sleep deeply and curl up naturally, making it easier to pose them gently.
- Feeding and Comfort: Make sure your baby is well-fed before the session. A full tummy helps keep them calm and sleepy. Bring along diapers, wipes, and extra clothes for quick changes.
- Mom and Dad: Wear comfortable clothing in soft, neutral colors that won't compete with your baby's photos. Relax and remember this special time is about capturing love and connection.
- Environment: Our studio is warm and cozy to keep your baby comfortable throughout the session.
