Capture those precious first few days of life with professional newborn photography that you’ll treasure for years to come

The most precious time to photograph a newborn is between 5-10 days of life. The way they look so small in your arms or curl up perfectly in your neck, their tiny little toes, and the gentle way that they breathe and coo.  During this time babies will usually retain some of the natural curl from when they were in mommy’s tummy.  Newborn babies are also more sleepy and pliable for the most desired poses.  Your curling, sleeping newborn will make for the most memorable and meaningful photographs.  At two weeks newborns usually hit a growth spurt and much of the session is spent feeding rather than taking pictures so ideally we try to schedule the shoot before the baby is 2 weeks old. Unfortunately, the first two weeks after your baby is born are the ones that go by in a flash!  For this reason, I really encourage expectant parents to contact me ahead of time about a newborn photography session.
