Newborn Photography Guide: Choosing the date

I have been having many newborn sessions lately and of course I always get question from the expecting parents when it is the best time to schedule a newborn session. So I decided to make this small overview. I consider your baby to be a “newborn” for the first three months. But this only means that you can book my “Belly & Baby” and “Baby Solo” packages within this time. For a baby three month is a huge period, when baby is changing a lot: your baby will double her weight during this time, get/lost hair and maybe even will get her first tooth!

The first day after the birth your baby is changing so quickly that you can actually see it (I know it, because I did not sleep for about first 24 hours after the births and just stared at my kids)))) These first days are really incredible – the photos after the births are the most beautiful and emotional photos I have.

Most of the newborn sessions take place at home within the first month after your baby is born. These are really sweet and intimate sessions, capturing you and your baby in her first home. Usually there are also some other family members around welcoming the new family member.

One and two months old babies are still very small but are much more awake. They are making good eye contact, they smile and laugh and you can see much more of their personality.

Three month old is definitely a family member and you already got used to your baby`s rhythm, developed a new routine and recovered from the birth. Colics and sleepless nights are usually also gone by that time – so new parents are not so tired and much more relaxed. By that time you are also normally have completely forgotten your previous life and have a feeling that you always have had this baby )))
