I absolutely adore newborns. There is something about their sweet smell, tiny toes, and bigger than life yawns that just make me melt inside.
Newborns are best photographed within the first week of life; however, I will schedule newborn sessions up to 12 days old. The first 12 days of life are when newborns are the sleepiest and easiest to obtain tight, cuddily poses. After 12 days, babies are significantly more active and alert.
To maintain a relaxed environment for you and your new little bundle, newborn sessions take anywhere from 3-4 hours to allow time for nursing, diaper changes, and snuggle time with momma when baby needs a break. Unless your session is during the heat of the summer, newborn sessions will take place inside your home.
