One of the most common questions parents ask is when the best time is to photograph their newborn baby.

The Ideal Age
The ideal window for newborn photography is usually between 5 and 14 days old. During this time babies tend to sleep deeply and naturally curl into the positions they were in during pregnancy.

Older Babies 
That said, beautiful newborn photographs can still be created if your baby is older. Some babies remain very sleepy beyond two weeks, and older babies often give wonderful eye contact and expressions.

Flexibility
Every baby is different, which is why sessions are designed to be calm and flexible, allowing time for feeding, settling and cuddles.

The most important thing is simply not missing the stage entirely. If you're expecting and looking for a Perth newborn photographer, you can learn more about my newborn sessions here.
