When should you book newborn photos?

This is a common question I am asked as a newborn photographer.


I absolutely LOVE newborn sessions, whether Fresh 48 session in the hospital, outdoor newborn session or the classic lifestyle newborn session I do most often, I love them all.


So, what's the answer?


Well, sometime in your second trimester.


That way you don't forget, but also have a little better idea of your due date.


Plus, it helps ensure your chosen newborn photographer is available.


Many newborn photographers only take on a set amount of newborns a month, so booking early increases the chances of getting the photographer you want.


So, what does a lifestyle newborn photography session look like?


Scroll on below. Oh, and spoiler alert, this sweet family was amazing, included LOTS of their culture into their session AND newborn boxer puppies.


So, topping this session will be hard.
