Typically I do newborn sessions when babies are between 5 and 14 days old. First and foremost reason for it is because I really want to capture them at the littlest time of their life. They change and grow every day and that newborn stage is so special. Also during the first two weeks babies are the sleepiest, which creates safe and comfortable environments for posing. One week old baby is not really aware of his or her surroundings and can be posed without being awakened. Does this mean that all my newborn sessions go perfectly without a hitch when they done in the first two weeks? The answer is no because every baby is different. Even if we do everything by a book, sometime the little one is just not in the mood for pictures. So when I get newborn sessions requests for 3-5 weeks olds I always try to fit them in my schedule. They may or may not sleep well during session but I am always willing to give it a try.
Meet Mia. She was 5 weeks when she came for her newborn sessions and was just perfect the entire sessions. She slept better than ever and was just a dream to work with!!! Her session was booked last minute right when I had an opening during the week and I couldn’t be more happier about meeting her and her wonderful family.
