Trying to decide when the best time to take newborn pictures is? I've got you!
When soon-to-be or new mamas reach out, I always suggest aiming for 1–3 weeks after baby arrives.
The biggest difference between choosing the earlier or later end of that window really comes down to what you're hoping for from your session:
Want those super sleepy, curled-up newborn pictures? I typically recommend closer to 1 week.
Want to see those curious little newborn eyes? Closer to 2–3 weeks is a great time!
I usually don't suggest scheduling sooner than a week. Not because those first few days aren't incredibly precious, but because I want mama to have a chance to rest and recover. Those first days with your little one are beautiful, but they're also exhausting as your body adjusts to motherhood. Let's aim for half zombie instead of full zombie. 😂
BUT… I'm always down for a Fresh 48 session while you're still in the hospital, being catered to and (hopefully) getting a little help.
If you've been curious about a Fresh 48 session, DM me “48” and there might just be a little discount involved. 😏
