As a Lafayette, IN maternity photographer, I often get asked about the best time to book a maternity or newborn session. While there is no right or wrong answer, there are a few things to consider when making your decision.

Maternity Sessions

Maternity sessions are typically scheduled between 28 and 36 weeks of pregnancy. This is when your belly is nice and round, but you’re still comfortable moving around. If you’re having twins or multiples, you may want to schedule your session a little earlier, around 26 weeks.

Newborn Sessions

Newborn sessions are typically scheduled within the first 10-14 days of life. This is when your baby is still sleepy and cuddly and hasn’t yet developed any baby acne or colic. If you’re unable to schedule your session within this timeframe, don’t worry – I can still create beautiful newborn portraits up to 6 weeks of age.

Planning Your Session

Once you’ve decided on a general timeframe for your session, it’s time to start planning the details. What colors and themes do you want for your session? Do you have any special props or outfits you’d like to use? I’m happy to help you with all of these decisions and to create a custom session that’s perfect for you and your family.
