When is the best time for newborn photos?

The optimal window for newborn photography is between 5 and 14 days old. During this period, infants are more flexible and sleep deeply, which is ideal for posed photography.

How do I book a newborn session if I don't know the exact birth date?

We use a due-date placeholder system. We block off time around your estimated due date, and once the baby arrives, parents simply notify us within 48 hours to finalize the session date.

Is newborn photography safe?

Safety is our priority. We use spotters for every pose, utilize digital composites for complex positions like the 'froggy' pose so the baby is always supported, and maintain a sanitized, temperature-controlled environment.

What is the difference between a Studio and In-Home Lifestyle session?

Studio sessions focus on artistic, posed portraits with full access to props and controlled lighting. In-Home Lifestyle sessions focus on natural connection and storytelling within the family's home environment.

Do I need to bring outfits for the baby?

No, we provide a curated wardrobe of high-end, handmade knits and wraps designed specifically to fit newborns perfectly without being bulky.
