How early do you need to do need to book a newborn session?

I hear this question quite a bit. Did you know I book sessions as soon as your first doctor’s appointment? And sometimes people even reach out before they begin to tell family and friends!

I know it seems scary, but I do fill up! I take a limited number of sessions each month and typically book up 2-3 months in advance. This allows me to make sure I can dedicate the needed time to each of my clients. It is best to reach out as soon as you feel comfortable even if you wait until you get through that first trimester, but the sooner the better!

Plus, I offer newborn collections which can include maternity and fresh 48 hospital sessions! These two will have to be scheduled even early which means we need to get you on the calendar!

But what if our baby comes early?

Not to worry! We tentatively set a session date and go from there. We can adjust either way a bit as I know newborns come on their own timing, and can sometimes be hard to plan around. I usually schedule your session two weeks from your due date, unless you prefer to wait a little longer to let your baby grow a bit more and mama get adjusted to those sleepless nights.

If you are expecting, I am currently booking into 2021! Please reach out to me for more details and information on availability and to book your session here.

Handsome little Jack! This precious boy arrived 3.5 weeks early and was a sweet surprise to his parents! He was still so tiny when we did his newborn session! Jack slept the entire session. His calm demeanor, precious little features, and little cues were too cute to handle!

Jack’s mama had the perfect nursery for him with touches from her native Hungary. I loved this fun swing she included and touching bible verse hanging over his crib.

If you are expecting, I am currently booking through 2021 with very few sessions remaining for 2020! For more details and information, please reach out to me here!

All the mama’s having babies during the pandemic, I see you. Labor and delivery is hard enough in a normal world, I can’t imagine adding in a pandemic. Plus, wearing a mask during delivery. No family waiting for you. Family that is unable to travel to be there for their first, second, or even fifth grandchild. These are all unique situations that I hope change in the near future.

I have heard stories. Now more than ever, these newborn pictures are priceless. You are able to incorporate some special pieces in your pictures. A quilt made by a grandmother. An outfit picked out just perfect for your new baby. Even a sweet swaddle sent from a distant friend. You are able to share these pictures with family who may not be able to meet your baby for months.

This time is still special. There is still joy. There is excitement, love and hope! You get extra time as an immediate family to adjust, snuggle and just be without all the visitors. Cherish each moment. Kiss your little one once more. Rock just a few more minutes. Even just hold your baby when there is a 1,000 other things you could be doing.
