When to Book Your Newborn Session
When Should You Book Your Newborn Session?
One of the first questions I hear from expectant parents is: "When should we book our newborn photos?"
As a newborn photographer serving Macclenny, Fl and surrounding Northeast Florida/Southern Georgia, I always recommend reserving your spot before your baby arrives - ideally during your second or early third trimester. This way, you'll have peace of mind knowing your baby's first portraits are secured on my calendar.
The Best Age for Newborn Photos
The ideal window for newborn sessions is between 7-14 days old. During this time, babies are still very sleepy, curly naturally, and allow for those sweet, timeless poses. After around the two weeks mark, babies begin to stretch out more and may be more alert, which makes posing a little different.
That said- every baby is unique. If your little one is a few weeks old, we can still create beautiful images that capture their personalities and details.
Why Booking Early Matters
Securing your newborn session ahead of time ensures:
* A guaranteed spot on my calendar (newborn sessions are limited each month)
* Time to plan your sessions style- colors, props and special requests.
* Less stress once your baby arrives-you can simply relax and enjoy the experience.
When you reach out while expecting, I'll pencil in your due date and adjust the exact session date once your baby is born.
What To Expect at Your Newborn Session
My Macclenny studio is designed with new parents in mind. It's a warm, cozy space where you can sit back and relax while I gently pose and photograph your baby. I provide everything needed-soft wraps, neutral props, and timeless setups-so all you have to do is arrive with your little one.
Sessions are calm, baby led and never rushed. I follow your baby's cues, allowing breaks for feeding, soothing and snuggles.
Serving Families Across Northeast Florida and Southern Georgia
While my studio is located in Macclenny, Fl, I'm honored to welcome families from Jacksonville, Baldwin, Callahan, Fernandina Beach, Lake City and all other surrounding cities. No matter where you are coming from, my goal is the same: to provide timeless newborn portraits that will become heirlooms in your family.
