As a Seattle-based photographer, I often get calls from parents who think they've missed the opportunity for a newborn session. Maybe they're thinking, "My baby is already 2 months old, is it too late?" or "We didn't get around to scheduling a session, what can we do?" The answer is, it's never too late to capture the magic of your new baby!
At Amy Louise Photography, I specialize in lifestyle newborn sessions, which means I work with babies of all ages, from newborn to 3 months and beyond. While it's true that there's something special about capturing those tiny, sleepy newborn days, a session with a 2 or 3-month-old baby is just as special in its own way.
Why Wait a Little Longer?
There are many reasons why a family might choose to wait a little longer for their newborn session. Maybe mom needs more time to recover from a difficult birth, or baby was born prematurely and is still getting settled. Perhaps life got busy, and it's hard to find the time to schedule a session. Whatever the reason, it's okay to take your time.
Lifestyle Newborn Sessions:
What's the Difference? You might be wondering what to expect from a lifestyle newborn session with an older baby. Don't worry, it's handled the same way as a session with a baby only a few days old! We'll focus on capturing natural, authentic moments between you and your baby, with plenty of snugglies and snuggles. The main difference is that older babies tend to be more alert and interactive, which means we'll focus on capturing those adorable smiles and giggles. And let's be real, those are pretty amazing too!
Why a New Baby Session at 2 or 3 Months is Just as Special
A new baby session at 2 or 3 months is a celebration of your baby's growth and development. You'll get to capture those sweet baby smiles, and your baby will be more interactive and engaged. Plus, you'll have more time to enjoy the experience and soak up those snuggles. At the end of the day, it's not about the age of your baby – it's about capturing the love and connection you share as a family.
