The length of a newborn shoot can vary, but typically, you should expect the session to last around two to three hours. This timeframe allows for feeding, soothing, and taking breaks as needed. I believe in a flexible approach that accommodates your baby's needs, ensuring a stress-free experience for both parents and infant.
When Should We Schedule the Newborn Shoot?
Timing is essential for capturing those delicate newborn moments. I recommend scheduling your shoot within the first two weeks of your baby's life, as this period often allows for the best poses and the cutest sleepy shots. However, I do understand that every family is different, and I am happy to work with you to find the ideal time that suits your circumstances.
