Answers to all your questions

The best time for newborn photography is between 5–14 days old.
At this stage babies tend to be sleepier and naturally curl into those beautiful newborn poses.
However, sessions can still be done up to 6 weeks old — they simply become more awake and expressive.
We recommend booking your session during pregnancy to secure availability.
