When to Book a Newborn Photographer and Why You Should Choose Photography by Fiona
Welcoming a new baby into the world is one of life’s most precious moments. Those tiny fingers, delicate eyelashes, and the sleepy snuggles are fleeting—gone in the blink of an eye. That’s why capturing these early days through professional newborn photography is a must for so many parents. But when is the best time to book a Bristol newborn photographer, and why should you choose Photography by Fiona? Let me tell you everything you need to know.
When to Book a Newborn Photographer
The ideal time to photograph newborns is when they are between 5 and 14 days old. Here’s why:
- Sleepy Poses: During this period, babies are still in that ultra-sleepy stage, which allows us to gently pose them in those adorable, curled-up positions that mimic how they were in the womb. After two weeks, babies tend to stretch out more and become more alert, making those classic newborn poses trickier to achieve.
- Skin Changes: Newborn skin often goes through a few changes after the first two weeks, such as baby acne or peeling. Booking within that 5–14-day window ensures that we capture your baby with their natural, fresh glow.
- Less Disruption to Routine: During the first couple of weeks, newborns are more likely to settle easily, which means we can achieve a calm and peaceful session for both baby and parents.
Tip: It’s best to book your session during your pregnancy, ideally after your 20-week scan, to secure your spot in my diary. Babies have their own schedule, of course, but I always ensure flexibility to accommodate early or late arrivals with your Bristol newborn photographer.
