How old should my baby be for newborn photos?

Ah, the golden question!

The sweet spot for newborn photography is usually when your baby is between 5 to 14 days old.

That’s when they’re still all curled up and sleepy from life in the womb, and we can gently pose them in those squishy, snuggly positions that melt your heart.

But don’t stress if you’ve missed that window.

As a professional newborn photographer in Brisbane, I’ve photographed babies up to 6 weeks old and still captured absolutely beautiful images.

Every baby is different.

Some snooze like champs, others come ready to party.

Either way, we work with your little one exactly as they are.

At Family Photography by Natarsha March, your session is relaxed, baby-led, and totally tailored to you.

With 14 years of experience as a Brisbane newborn photographer, I’ve seen it all, and I promise you, whatever stage your baby is at, we’ll capture photos that feel real, beautiful and full of love.
