And he’s here! All cute and snugglie. Oh how I wish I could bottle the smell of a newborn baby and take it with me everywhere I go. Baby L was photographed at 8 days old. The best time to have your newborns portraits done are within the first 7-10 days after they are born. It’s best to book your session during your last trimester that way you can get your dates down with the photographer of your choice and if your bundle of joy arrives early you can have some wiggle room with the studio to move your session date around. Babies are best photographed in almost nothing, I’d say a diaper onesie and favorite blanket. When using props and wraps be sure to use those that are made of the softest fabrics an wont make your little model itch. There is nothing worse that a baby that is uncomfortable.
