Book Your Newborn Session Before Baby Arrives. Here's Why.

If you are currently pregnant and telling yourself you will sort out a photographer after the baby comes, this one is for you.

I say this with complete kindness: you will not. Not because you are disorganised, but because you will have a newborn. And newborns are wonderful and exhausting and all-consuming in the best possible way, and the last thing you will feel like doing in those first two weeks is picking up the phone to book a photographer.

More importantly, newborn sessions work best in the first five to fourteen days. That window is short, it closes fast, and it is genuinely the only time your baby will be this tiny, this curled up, and this likely to sleep through a two-hour photo session without incident.

By the time most parents think to book, the window has already passed.

So here is what I recommend. Book during your second trimester. Lock in a rough due date. We will stay in touch as you get closer, and once baby arrives you just send me a message and we confirm the date. Simple.

It costs nothing to hold a date and everything to miss the window.

If you are already in your third trimester and reading this in a mild panic: do not stress. Get in touch today. I keep a small number of spots for late bookings and we will do everything we can to make it work.

Your baby will only be this new once. Let's make sure you have something to show for it.
