A common question that arises when expectant parents are planning their newborn photography session is, "When is the best time to take newborn photos?"
I've been photographing newborn sessions in the greater Milwaukee area for the past decade and my opinion is that it is really up to you as mom and dad. It depends what kind of aesthetic or feel you are going for. Ask yourself some questions to hone in on the answer.
Do you like a lifestyle newborn photography approach? This is when a photographer comes to your home (or can be in a studio also) and offers up gentle posing guidance to capture you and your baby in your environment. This could mean taking photos of you and baby snuggling in their newly adorned nursery, feedings, changes, interactions with additional family members (perhaps this newborn is your second and you have a toddler as well!). A good photographer will evaluate the lighting in your home in order to find the ideal settings for your photoshoot. A lifestyle newborn session is on your baby's terms. It's less orchestrated and less posed but still packs an adorable punch.
These types of sessions can happen up to 10 weeks.
For a more posed newborn photography approach, it is better to plan for earlier on in their newborn days, typically up to 15 days old. This way they will be more pliable, less resistant to posing and will still fit into some precious props.
No matter when you schedule your newborn photoshoot, the results will be unique and special. It is so important to document these first few days of your baby's life as they are so fleeting. You'll love revisiting albums showcasing their tiny features when they enter their toddler years, getting into everything!!
At this point in my newborn photography career, I'm known for my lifestyle, unposed approach. It is an honor to be welcomed into my clients' homes and to meet them where they are... lacking sleep but deeply in love with their new addition. No judgement if the house is a mess...just snuggle up with your baby and let their cuteness do the rest.
