Hey, dear moms! Today, I’d like to share some thoughts on when the best time is to capture precious photos of your little ones. They grow so fast, and those first days are a true treasure trove of memories.
The First 14 Days
Scientific research and photographers’ experience suggest that the ideal time to capture newborn moments is within the first 14 days of life. During this time, babies still remember womb-like positions, and their sleep is especially deep, creating perfect opportunities for warm and touching photos.
Why the First Two Weeks?
Flexibility and Sleep: Newborns are still very flexible in the first days after birth, retaining womb-like positions. They also spend much of their time in a deep sleep, allowing photographers to capture soft and peaceful images.
Natural Poses and Expressions: Babies haven’t yet developed conscious control over their bodies, so photographers can capture unforgettable, natural moments—like a first sleepy smile or cute gestures as they start to explore the world.
Fewer External Influences: In these early weeks, babies aren’t yet exposed to a wide range of external stimuli, enabling photographers to focus entirely on the baby without any distracting elements.
Family Intimacy: These first days are filled with warmth and emotion for the family, making photos taken during this time a true reflection of parental feelings and the importance of the moment.
Smooth, Clear Skin: In the first few days, babies' skin is free from irritation, rashes, or redness, making it possible to capture their soft, pure skin, resulting in natural and beautiful photos.
So, if you’re considering a photo session for your little one, don’t wait. Capture these amazing moments and create memories that will stay with you forever. It’s best to book a photographer in advance, then finalize a specific date after the baby is born.
Here are a few additional tips for newborn photography:
Choose a photographer you feel comfortable with.
Prepare your home in advance.
Dress your baby in comfortable, soft clothing.
Be patient and give your baby time to adjust.
