Perrysburg Ohio Newborn Photographer

So, what is the best age for newborn photos? Every photographer will have a different answer!

I photograph newborns within the first 3 weeks, 8-12 days old is my sweet spot. That said, I’ve had 3.5 week olds that were dream babies and 6 day old babies that took lots of extra patience! You just never really know what you’re going to get! I have lots of tricks though. If your baby was born early or more on the itty bitty side, it can sometimes be helpful to wait closer to 2-3 weeks so baby can put on a little bit of weight and figure out eating. If your baby is overdue or a little chunk, it’s can be better to schedule earlier so that they don’t outgrow my wraps & outfits and can more easily fit into my props.

The best way to ensure a spot in my schedule is to prebook with your due date (ideally while still in the 2nd trimester). Due to the unpredictable nature of newborns, I limited the number of newborn sessions I take each month. Upon booking, I will send you a Prep Guide that is filled with absolutely everything you need to know to help plan for your session - the studio address, what to expect, what to bring, wardrobe & styling suggestions, etc. Once your baby has made their arrival, we will then set a date & time for the session to take place.
