📸✨ 14 Days New ✨📸
There’s nothing quite like capturing the delicate details of a newborn in their first days of life. This sweet baby girl was just 14 days old when I created these timeless portraits. At this age, babies are extra sleepy and flexible—perfect for those dreamy, curled-up poses!
💡 Keys to a Successful Newborn Session:
✔ Timing is Everything – The best window for newborn photography is 5-14 days old when babies are still super sleepy and snuggly.
✔ Warm & Cozy – Keeping the room warm (around 80+°F) helps babies stay comfortable and settled.
✔ Soft, Natural Light – I always seek soft window light for that perfect glow on baby’s skin.
✔ Minimal Distractions – A peaceful, quiet environment helps keep the baby relaxed.
✔ Patience is Key – Every session is baby-led, allowing time for feedings, soothing, and snuggles.
✔ Backups are a must – Always have backup props as babies are always peeing and pooping! Wash out fabrics right away to avoid staining. My first time trying OxiClean during this session and could not be more impressed! All stains came out easily.
Capturing these first moments is truly magical—fleeting but forever cherished. 💕 I hope you enjoy this sneak peek!
