Newborn photography sessions are typically scheduled when baby is between 1-3 weeks of age. Ideally we want to capture baby before they reach an alert stage in their development. So when you think about how to prepare for your newborn photography session timing is important!

Older babies may be fussier which can cause issues with posing. Then again, any baby can be fussy. When looking for a newborn photographer it is important to ask what their style is. At Mod L Photography we are baby-led. This means if your newborn isn’t interested in a pose or a wrap, we move on to something else.

Important considerations – if baby has ear molds we can work around that schedule and we can also use cute hats to disguise the molds. If baby will be circumcised it is important to allow for enough time to heal. Please bring any other concerns to your photographer’s attention prior to your session.

If possible please plan your newborn session before baby is born. This way all you have to do is text or call when baby arrives to get on the schedule.
