Unpopular opinion: your baby doesn’t have to be under 3 weeks old for newborn photos.
If you love those adorable swaddled photos then yes, they should be under 3 weeks old. BUT, if you would like strictly lifestyle family newborn photos, these can be taken at any age or time that you are comfortable with!
What would a lifestyle newborn session look like? Documenting your new family member being held and cuddled from afar, the majority of the session. Very little newborn portraits will happen in a lifestyle newborn session as I will focus more on the whole family but I will try my best to capture a few, unwrapped photos of your baby.
Do what makes you comfortable 🫶🏻
