When to schedule your newborn photos

At Abby Nelson Photography, we highly recommend searching for your newborn photographer during your pregnancy. You will want to search for a photographer that understands babies have their own timeline and can arrive either early or late. A photographer that will accept reservations based on your due date is ideal, this allows flexibility for scheduling once your baby arrives.

By reserving your photography session based on your due date, photographers can ensure that they are available and ready to capture those first precious moments when your little one arrives. Babies grow and change very quickly, so capturing their tiny features and adorable expressions when they are at their tiniest is a priceless opportunity.

When it comes to newborn photography, timing is key. Babies are best photographed at around 2 weeks of age, as they are still very sleepy and can be easily posed in those adorable, curled-up positions. During this time, they also tend to retain some of their newborn characteristics, making for incredibly sweet and precious images that you will treasure forever.


If you're interested in preserving and capturing the precious early days of your baby's life, we invite you to contact us to schedule a consultation. Abby Nelson Photography is dedicated to creating stunning, timeless photographs that will bring joy and warmth to your family for years to come.
