When should I schedule my newborn session?
Today.
Yup. Today.
As soon as you know I am the professional photographer for you, go ahead and get on my calendar. Schedule it ASAP. Calling me by 34 weeks pregnant is ideal, but definitely call *before* baby arrives.
I am a homeschool mom of four and so I have very limited availability. I am not a high-volume, turn-and-burn studio; I take my time with each client, aiming to provide you with the best experience, and amazing photographs of the most important milestones of your young family’s journey.
It’s important to know that true NEWBORN SESSIONS are actually photographed when baby is about a week old. More on that here: “When We Shoot A Newborn Session”
You might be thinking, “But I have no idea when I’ll go into labor, so how can I book the session?”
Very true. You likely don’t know your baby’s birthdate. And even if you’re sure, that could still be two weeks off! I still want you to call early on when you’re still pregnant. When you get on my calendar, you are holding a place. If you have held your place, then I know, and you know, I will not be turning you away because my calendar is overbooked. If you wait until he is here, it is quite the gamble whether or not I can take your session.
So now you’re ready to take the next step. Here’s the HOW to schedule your session…You can do any of the following:
