FAQs As A South Bend Newborn Photographer
Newborn sessions are typically photographed within the first 5–14 days after birth. During this time babies are naturally sleepier and more easily posed into the soft, curled positions that create timeless newborn portraits.
Q: When will my newborn session take place?
Your session is reserved based on your due date, not a fixed day. Once your baby arrives, simply notify us and we will schedule your session within the ideal newborn window
Q: what if my baby arrives early or late?
