Murfreesboro, Tennessee Newborn Baby Photographer | When to book?

Many parents don’t realize that the best time to book your newborn session is well before baby is born. The window to get the best photos of your adorable newborn baby is when they are less than 2 weeks old. At this age the baby is much more sleepy and therefore certain poses are much easier to get. Those adorable photos from my Murfreesboro, Tennessee studio you see of the baby sleeping on their arms in a bucket, on their belly with their bum up, sleeping on their side, holding a tiny bear, etc. all are made possible by them being so tired they sleep right through. Unfortunately if you contact me after baby is born there is a chance I can’t get you into my schedule in those couple weeks or so. Most of my clients book their newborn photography session months before baby is expected to arrive to ensure I reserve a spot for them. I limit the amount of newborn photo sessions I do each month to accommodate them all in my schedule.

Most of my clients choose to do maternity portraits as well. So they just book the two sessions together which guarantees they will have a newborn photoshoot spot reserved for them well in advance. Maternity photos are done around 32-34 weeks, so for those too don’t wait too long to book. Doing photos then means avoiding the late stage of pregnancy when swelling can be worse, you may become uncomfortable, or just the risk of baby coming before your session. If you are about 3 months along and considering newborn photos, I suggest reaching out as soon as possible! It goes by much faster than you think and with all the other preparations you are tackling, booking your newborn photos can get accidently put off and lost in the shuffle.
