A newborns first portrait is the most important portrait in your child’s first year. Think about it….they will never be so tiny and new ever again. From the time a baby leaves the womb, they change a little every day. It is so important to document all the delicate features, the tiny hands and feet, their face and lips, their wrinkly skin or their chubby belly, as soon as possible. If you don’t, you will never have the chance again.I am often asked, what the best age to have your baby’s first portrait. The answer is, as soon as possible. The best time is 4 days old to 10 days old. When they are days old they are sleepy, and sleepy is best. By the time a baby is 2 weeks old they have already moved on to a new stage. By two weeks old my own daughter had gained 3 pounds and was awake for much longer periods of time. You may still capture great newborn images up to 6 weeks, but sooner is better.
We love it when expecting moms call us to essentially give us their due date, to schedule a few days later. I tell expecting moms to just drop by on the way home from the hospital! None have taken me up on that…yet!
We want to document your baby’s first moments....the newness....the innocence. Give us a call we would love to share this priceless moment with you. You don’t want to miss the opportunity to archive your baby’s precious first moments of life.
