The primary motive behind a newborn photoshoot is to capture your child’s beautiful and breathtaking photos and frame them for eternity. These times are surely special and parents are often eager to capture every precious moment of their child’s growth. However, when and how to do a baby’s photoshoot can be tricky and confusing. Thus, here are a few things you should consider.
A. What is the Right Time For a Baby’s Photo Session?
The baby’s first year is very special and the photos clicked during this time are adorable and timeless. If looking for a professional photoshoot, it is advised to book your photographer long before the due date to make sure everything is organised.
- After Two weeks: During this early week, it would take time for the baby to get accustomed to the new world, their feeding time, and sleeping hours. So, consider a shoot after the two weeks are completed as your baby wouldn’t get too fidgety and it wouldn’t overwhelm them. Plus, the photos will look super cute!
- Within 2-3 months: Around this time, babies tend to get extremely cuddly. So be ready to take some pictures with you and the kid snuggling most delightfully.
- Between 6-8 months: By this time, babies become very much aware of their surroundings and demand attention. So, the picture clicked during this time would turn out to be full of laughter and the cheekiest moments.
