When is the best time to book your newborn lifestyle session?

There are a million things to plan when you’re expecting your first baby, it can be a bit daunting, so it’s not surprising that planning to book a newborn lifestyle session can get shuffled to the bottom of the list.  Most of us newborn photographers don’t mind being flexible as you can only plan so much around the arrival of a baby.  To make sure we can capture your baby within their first week, I keep spaces in my diary in case they don’t arrive when they should or for last minute bookings when parents realise how quickly their new baby is going to change and want to document the early days.

Her baby was two weeks old when Laura could draw breath enough to think about photographs, so she got in touch and we booked them in that very week for a lovely relaxed session in their gorgeous Guildford home. We had spoken about what to wear as I do with all clients prior to their session and both Laura and Nile had several options ready for me  so we could discuss what worked best.  I adore soft, earthy tones, it suits my style of photography so going with a little texture in clothing rather than bright colours for newborn sessions keeps the focus of the images firmly on the star of the show, the new arrival.
