When should you schedule your newborn session? | San Jose, CA - Bay Area

When to book your newborn session?

When it comes to newborn sessions, timing is key!! It can be tricky to know when to book your session, you don’t want to do it too late, but it’s always tough to know the exact time when the baby will make the big arrival.

I always recommend my families book their sessions at least 6 weeks prior their due date. What I do is hold a spot in my calendar the following weekend after your due date, and when the baby arrives, you can text or email me to let me know, and we can move the session a little bit to adjust it.

Some families are only interested in Lifestyle, no baby-wrapped or sleeping poses, which gives us a little more time. But if you are looking for photos of the baby sleeping in cute baskets and props, you should book your session earlier because the baby needs to be younger than 15 days old for those sleeping pictures.

Lifestyle Newborn Session

Lifestyle photography is a beautiful and intimate way to capture the genuine moments of your newborn's first days in a natural and relaxed setting. Unlike traditional posed newborn photography, lifestyle sessions focus on telling your family's unique story in your own home. We aim to capture the emotions, connections, and everyday moments that make your family special.

I understand that the arrival of a newborn can be a whirlwind of emotions and adjustments. I aim to provide you with a seamless and stress-free photography experience, allowing you to focus on what matters most—creating lasting memories with your new baby.

To ensure a smooth session, I take care of all the details. From discussing your vision and preferences before the session to guiding you through the process on the day of the shoot, I am here to support you every step of the way. We will work together to choose the perfect time for your session, considering your baby's feeding and sleeping patterns.

During the session, we create a relaxed atmosphere where you and your family can be yourselves. I encourage natural interactions and genuine connections, capturing the fleeting moments that make your family unique. My goal is to create timeless photographs that will transport you back to this precious time in your lives.
