When to Schedule your Milwaukee Newborn Session?
As a Milwaukee newborn photographer, one of the most common questions I hear from expectant parents is: “When should I schedule my newborn session?” The answer is: sooner than you think!
So, when is the best time to schedule your Milwaukee newborn session? The ideal time to book your newborn session is during your second trimester. Why? By this stage of pregnancy, most families have settled into their plans and are ready to start thinking about capturing those precious first moments with their baby. Booking early ensures that I can reserve space in my schedule for your little one, even though we won’t set an exact date until after they’re born. I only take a few newborn sessions per month, so inquiring early is essential if you’d like to get a spot with me (or your favorite photographer!)
Why Do We Wait to Schedule the Session?
Newborn photography sessions are best held within the first 2-3 weeks after birth. During this time, your baby is still in that sleepy, curled-up stage, making it easier to capture those timeless, peaceful poses. Since babies rarely arrive exactly on their due date, we wait until your little one is born to finalize the session date. Once you let me know your baby has arrived, we’ll plan a session that fits into that sweet newborn window. Some moms also realize after birth that they may need a little more time. If that’s you, and you’d like to wait until baby is closer to 4 weeks, that is TOTALLY okay. Older newborns can be just as sweet (and have super-cute filled out cheeks!)
Why Book Early?
Booking your session during your second trimester ensures that you’re not scrambling to find a photographer after your baby arrives. As a Milwaukee newborn photographer, I often book up months in advance, so reserving your spot early guarantees I’ll have availability for your family. It also helps you get one more thing checked off your list!
