I suggest to schedule your At Home Lifestyle Newborn Photo Session when you are in your second trimester of pregnancy.
This way you can make sure and save your spot on my calendar. I book based on your due date, but then we will schedule the actual session depending on when the baby is born (because we all know babies come on their own time). So once your baby is born, we plan the shoot between 5-15 days after the baby’s birthday.
BUT—
What if I am almost due and haven’t booked yet?
What if I missed that timeframe, but I still want to get photos of my baby?
What if we are in the middle of pandemic and I want to wait a little longer?
What if for medical reasons we need to delay?
First, take a deep breath. This motherhood thing is hard and we all need to give ourselves a little more grace. Now, don’t worry! It is not too late. You didn’t miss your chance.
Because a Newborn Lifestyle Session can be done even if the baby is more than two weeks old!
I am sharing this session because it is a wonderful example where the baby girl was a couple months old when the family did their photos. And as you can see, it was a beautiful experience.
At Home Lifestyle Newborn Session in Decatur, GA
A few things that I loved about this at home lifestyle newborn session:
The tenderness the older sisters showed toward their new baby sister
Mom’s strong connection with each of her daughters
The confidence the mom displayed in caring for her baby: changing the diaper, breastfeeding, comforting her when she was fussy. I could tell it was her third time around.
The dad’s special bond with his newest daughter and how gently he held her
That bonnet. Seriously, a baby in a bonnet is so cute!
That the sweet baby girl feel asleep at the end of the session allowing for these precious shots of her in dreamland
So whether your baby is a couple weeks old or a couple months old, we can take family photos welcoming your sweet bundle of joy into your family!
