When is the Best Time for a Newborn Portrait and Sitter Session?

Capturing your baby’s early moments is a beautiful way to preserve memories that you’ll treasure forever. At GWS Photography, we specialize in newborn and sitter sessions, each offering a unique way to capture your baby’s growth and personality.

Newborn Portraits (0-3 Weeks):

  • Ideal Age: The best time for a newborn session is within the first 2-3 weeks. Babies are sleepiest and can be posed easily, creating those beautiful, curled-up images.
  • Extended Window: We can still capture lovely portraits up to 5-6 weeks old, but baby will be awake more and sometimes too big for some of the prop beds.
  • Booking Flexibility: Don’t worry if your baby arrives early or late—we offer flexible scheduling to accommodate any changes.

Sitter Sessions (7-10 Months):

  • Perfect Timing: Around 7-10 months, when your baby can sit unsupported, is ideal for a sitter session. These sessions capture your baby’s growing personality and expressions.
