Simply Baby Photography specializes in newborn, baby, and maternity portraiture. While any time is the perfect time to capture the sweetness of your baby to remember every last tiny detail, the best time to photograph newborns is within the first 12 days of life. After about 3 weeks of age, most babies are more restless and do not sleep as deeply, and prefer to stretch out rather than curl up.

Because babies rarely arrive on their due dates, it is best to book your newborn session by the 7th month of pregnancy. Approximately 3 weeks around your due date will be blocked off to ensure availability. Every effort will be made to accommodate newborns under 14 days old; however, if you contact the studio after baby is born, availability cannot be guaranteed.

Maternity portraits are best taken between 30-34 weeks of pregnancy, when your belly is showing nicely and before you’re feeling too uncomfortable to pose. Sessions can be held in studio, on the beach, in the comfort of your home, or at another location of your choice.

Baby sessions can be scheduled at any time, in studio or on location, but the milestone sessions recommended in our 1, 2, 3 Grow! plan are 4, 7, and 11 months. 7-9 months of age is a great time for portraits. Babies can sit confidently and have so many adorable expressions, so these sessions are always a favorite!

For age 18 months and up, please book through Windwardskies Photography.
