Newborn sessions are generally booked in your second trimester. For sleepy and squishy bub shots, we will book a tentative date, somewhere around 5-14 days after your due date. Your booked date is flexible in case your baby arrives early or later or if you require time to settle in/recover etc. This way we can easily bring the shoot forward or reschedule for later.
My sessions have a documentary storytelling style. So if you are more comfortable doing the session at a later stage (up to 3 months old), this will be absolutely fine. There will be some individual shots of the baby but the focus will be on you welcoming your newborn to the family. The duration of a newborn session is between 2.5-3 hours to allow for feeding and settling time.
