Frequently Asked Questions
The best time for a newborn photoshoot is within the first 5 to 14 days after birth. During this period, babies are sleepier and easier to pose, allowing for those curled-up newborn shots. After two weeks, babies tend to become more alert and less flexible for posing. If you missed this window, don’t worry, many photographers offer 3-6 week-old baby sessions with a focus on natural, lifestyle photography.
Look for a photographer with experience in handling newborns, safety training, and a calming approach. Check their portfolio for soft lighting, gentle posing, and a warm aesthetic. Reading client reviews and confirming their studio’s hygiene practices is also very important since newborns are vulnerable to many allergies. Many newborn photographers specialize in either posed studio photography or natural, in-home lifestyle sessions, so choose based on your preference.
Most newborn photographers provide wraps, soft fabrics, and props to ensure your baby looks cozy and adorable. However, if you prefer your outfits, opt for simple onesies, swaddles in neutral tones, or items like a handmade blanket. The focus should be on the baby, so avoid overly bright colors or busy patterns.
Absolutely! Many photographers encourage parents and family to be involved to capture the emotional bond between the baby and their parents or siblings. These shots are typically done at the beginning or end of the session to ensure the baby remains undisturbed for the posed photos.
Yes! Many photographers offer in-home lifestyle sessions, which are a great option if you prefer a relaxed, natural setting without having to take your newborn out. These sessions typically focus on genuine family interactions, with very little posing.
