Newborn photos are generally best within 5 and 12 days of age. Babies still feel the comfort and love of the womb. They are less active as they try to understand the world.  I met Guntaz at about 4 weeks old and she surprised me with how comfortable she was wrapped and how sweetly she slept in my props.  The truth of the matter is no matter how old your newborn is, I will do my best to capture beautiful images of your baby so you will always hold these beautiful memories dear to you.

It's often recommended that Newborn Sessions are done within the first 14 days after birth, typically between 6-14 days.  It is a small window.  The reason behind it is babies are mostly sleepy when they are first born.  As they get older they begin to be more alert and sensitive to touch which can make posing more difficult.  To get babies posed they need to be sleeping otherwise may react to the movement.  In saying that I never tell parents we cannot do a session because baby has missed the window.  Every parent deserves beautiful images of their newborn baby.  I do however, make sure to explain that the images may not be quite like the sleepy newborn sessions you typically see and the session may be a bit longer than the typical 3hrs since baby will require more soothing and feedings.  Baby A came in for her session at 4 weeks old.  I did the best I could to capture beautiful images for mom and dad to cherish and even though they are not your typical newborn images, they are as beautiful.  Thanks Ravi and Naadiya for choosing me.
