Newborn sessions are ideally scheduled within the first 14 Days after birth when babies are sleepier and easier to pose. I recommend booking during the first 5-10 days.

It's recommended to contact a newborn photographer during your pregnancy, ideally in the second trimester, to secure a session slot. This allows time to discuss details and ensure availability around your due date.

Inform me as soon as possible if your baby arrives earlier or later than your due date. We will do our best to accommodate the new schedule and adjust the session timing accordingly.

Sessions typically last 2-3 hours to allow time for feeding, soothing, and posing the baby. This duration ensures a relaxed and comfortable experience for both baby and parents.

If you haven't booked a session before your baby arrives, don't worry! Contact us as soon as possible after birth. While last-minute availability may be limited, I try my best to accommodate newborn sessions within the first 2-3 weeks.
