So, you are about to have a baby and want to know when newborn photos are taken? Woohoo! I am here to help!
Typically, newborn photos are done 7-14 days after the baby is born. There are several reasons for this: the baby’s stomach gets a little bigger so they can hold more milk; newborns sleep a lot during this time; less likelihood of baby acne; and mom needs time to heal if she had a c-section.
However, newborn photos can still be taken after the baby is 14 days old. My favorite next age is when the baby is about 3-4 months and they are capable of lying on their stomach and hold their head up. These photos still make for amazing newborn or baby photos.

Very informative and perfect for planning those first precious moments.
Glad this article is helpful!
I love that you want to educate others who don’t know what sessions are like and when the best times to do them are; such good information, especially for people who don’t have kids or who just have never done a photo session before!
Thank you so much, Liz!

This is the perfect blog for everyone who hopes to understand this topic. You understand so much its almost hard to argue with you (not that I actually would want toÖHaHa). You definitely put a new spin on a topic which has been written about for years. Excellent stuff, just excellent!
Good post. I learn something totally new and challenging on sites I stumbleupon everyday. It will always be helpful to read content from other writers and practice a little something from other websites.
