When Is the Best Time to Book a Newborn Photographer (and How to Choose the Right One)

If you’re expecting, one of the most common questions is: “When should I book my newborn photographer?” The best time to book is during your second trimester. This guarantees availability and allows you to plan ahead for your baby’s arrival. Most newborn sessions are scheduled within the first 7–14 days after birth, when babies are sleepiest and easiest to pose.

Tips for Choosing the Right Newborn Photographer

Look for Experience & Safety Training

Newborn photography requires gentle handling and safe posing practices.

Check Their Style

Do you love light and airy images, or more dramatic tones? Choose a photographer whose work feels timeless to you.

Consider Studio vs. In-Home

A studio offers controlled lighting and props, while in-home sessions capture cozy, natural moments.
