It's never too late for a Newborn Session...
Have you ever heard: “Baby needs to be less than 2 weeks-10 days for a Newborn Session”?
I know I have and although to some point it can be true, it mostly depends on the type of images you are interested in having. And let’s be honest, they are still newborns until 2 months. This is the deal, if you are interested in having a more posed photography for your newborn then I definitely recommend doing it on the earlier side. If you are ok with more lifestyle images and less posed, then you can definitely wait until they are a bit older.
That said, this baby boy was 1 month old during his session and he was just perfection to work with! One of the fastest sessions I’ve had and we got to do tons of poses with him as you can see in the images.
Quick tips for a Successful Newborn Session:
Have him well fed around 15 minutes before the session, THIS IS VITAL! Full stomach = happy baby.
Keep the home warm or have a space heater in the area where the session will be done, the changes of outfits at times can unsettle them if it is cold.
Newborns are used to small spaces, when you think about it they were inside your belly for 9 months and it doesn’t get tighter than that. So keeping them wrapped up and with their hands/feet close to their bodies helps them stay calm.
If you can aim to keep them awake before the session that means that during the session they will most likely be tired and fall into a deep sleep. If they fall asleep before the session, that’s fine, we can work around that!
AGAIN, have them with a full stomach before the session and don’t forget to get those pesky gasses out, that can always make them feel so uncomfortable. (I had to mention this again because it is just THAT important).
Hope you enjoy this HANDSOME boy and his sweet family!
