Have you ever wondered about having a newborn photoshoot? Why in the first 2 weeks? What to consider for a newborn photography? How to find a good photographer and lots more.Then postpone it for a while just because there are so many unanswered questions! On top of that, Having a brand new newborn leave you with no time to look for the answers and in a blink of an eye the time passes by, your tiny littlest one is much heavier now that you can barely hold them for a long time, full of face expressions and wriggling none-stop! Then you may think: “Shame! we haven’t had a chance to do the newborn shoot. we were just so busy and … I wish we had done it. Surely for the next one!”
That’s when you notice how short is the newborn window and how quickly changes are happening and they grow up, but it is late and a totally new stage has already begun.
During those first days of being newly parents, with all the new responsibilities and lifestyle it brings along, it can be challenging to think about one extra-not necessarily urgent-task, called: newborn photoshoot!
Why not doing it next month when everything is settled, when we have more routine and may have slept a little better so hopefully looking much happier in the photos.
So why should we do the shoot now! Not even next week?
I have this conversation with most of the mums before the birth, giving them a heads up as during the first week the thing they may be least inetersted to hear is the photoshoot! (sometimes!) No matter how excited you are before, it can sometimes look easier to postpone the photoshoot if you are newly parents and yet have no idea of how quickly everything will change, so as your tiny little newborn. I mean so quick, even 10-12 days and they are already much bigger than the week before!
What makes me more determined to keep the appointment and encourage you to go ahead is simple comments I hear from the parents after a few months:
