When Should You Book Your Newborn Photos? | Newborn Photographer in Melton, Melbourne's Western Suburbs

One of the most common questions I get from expecting parents is, "When should I book my newborn photos?"

The best time to enquire is during your second or third trimester.

Booking before your baby arrives gives you the best chance of securing a session around your due date, as newborn sessions are limited each month. It also means there's one less thing to organise once your little one is here, so you can focus on settling into life as a new family.

Why do I book around your due date?

Babies have their own timelines, and they rarely arrive exactly when expected!

Rather than booking a fixed date before your baby is born, I reserve space around your estimated due date. Once your little one arrives, let me know, and we'll confirm a session date that works for your family.

This allows flexibility for:

• Your baby's arrival (whether early or late)

• Mum's recovery after birth

• Those first precious days of adjusting to life with your newborn

Every family's journey is different, and I want your experience to feel relaxed from the very beginning.

Haven't booked yet? It's not too late.

If your baby has already arrived and you haven't booked a newborn session, don't panic.

It's always worth reaching out.

I often have availability and will always do my best to fit you in where I can. While it's ideal to book before your baby is born, I know life gets busy, and I'd love to help if I have space available.
