🕒 When to Book Your Newborn Photoshoot

The ideal time for a newborn session is between 5 and 14 days old when babies are at their sleepiest and curliest. To secure a spot, I recommend booking in your second trimester to avoid disappointment - I only take on a limited number of sessions per month to give each family the time and attention they deserve.
