Most clients contact me when they are still pregnant to book their newborn's portraits this is to ensure I can fit them into my schedule in time. Newborn sessions are best taken when baby is between 7-14 days old. Which can seem to be a little daunting at first, leaving the house with a newborn and possibly other children in tow so early on. However, these early days are essential for capturing those sleepy, curled up moments we so quickly forget as they change every day and then one morning you wake up and they're on their way to school. It is also the safest time to take them. As your baby grows and becomes more alert and wriggly it makes the posing, wrapping and placing in props that little bit more difficult.
