Newborn photography is all about capturing those first precious moments of your baby’s life. The best time for those sleepy, curled-up poses? Within the first two weeks.
The Sweet Spot: First Two Weeks
In those early days, babies are naturally sleepy and love being swaddled up, making it the perfect time for those adorable, squishy poses. Their flexibility and sleepiness allow for those cozy, curled-up positions we all adore. The images in this post are all from a baby who was 10 days old. These moments pass quickly, and these photos are a wonderful way to capture them forever.
But Life Happens—And That’s Okay!
I know life with a newborn can be overwhelming. There are lots of reasons families might not make it into the studio within the first two weeks. Health, recovery, or just the busyness of life can make it tough to plan for photos so soon after birth.
Beautiful Photos at Any Age
If you miss that two-week window, don’t stress! I can still create beautiful images, no matter how old your baby is. Older newborns are often more alert, giving us a chance to capture adorable expressions and eye contact. I’ve even photographed babies up to 3 months old, including peaceful, sleeping baby shots!
Every Stage Is Special
Whether your baby is 10 days old or 3 months old, we’ll capture images you’ll love. Every stage offers something unique and beautiful.
Plan Ahead for the Best Timing
To ensure you get those sleepy, early newborn photos, it’s best to plan and book your session while you’re still pregnant. This way, we can reserve a spot around your due date and be ready to schedule your session once your baby arrives. The sooner you contact me after your little one is born, the more flexibility you’ll have for dates. Reach out to me today to book your Indianapolis newborn photography session and secure your spot!
