Let’s start at the beginning of your motherhood journey. You might know from the moment you find out you're pregnant that you want maternity photos. If that’s the case, I recommend booking as early as possible! But if you’re more like me, you might reach your third trimester and think, “Gosh, I really wish I had arranged a photoshoot.” If this sounds familiar, don't worry—it's likely not too late. I suggest scheduling your maternity session between 28-34 weeks, but we can capture your beautiful journey all the way up until your due date, as long as you're feeling comfortable.
For newborn sessions, I recommend booking right after your 12-week scan. If you’re hoping for those dreamy, sleepy baby shots, the ideal time for a newborn session is 7-14 days after your baby arrives. When we book, we’ll set a provisional date, and I’ll reach out a week before to check in on any exciting news! If your little one hasn’t arrived yet, we’ll reschedule. But remember, newborn photos don’t have to happen right away—your baby will just be more alert as they get older so if baby is already here then we can still capture this chapter!
Milestone sessions are perfect when your baby can sit up on their own, typically around 6 months. At this stage, your little one is soaking in the world, and it’s a great time to capture their curious expressions and joyful giggles. I offer studio sessions up until your child is 14 months old, making it ideal for first birthday celebrations!
As for family sessions? The best time is always now! Life gets busy, and before you know it, another year has passed. Why not make family photos an annual tradition? It's a wonderful way to preserve the moments that fly by and treasure how your little ones grow year after year.
