If your baby is no longer a tiny newborn and you’re thinking “I’ve missed my chance” — I’m here to tell you that you haven’t.
While many families book newborn sessions during pregnancy, sometimes life happens.
The newborn days are a blur.
You’re adjusting to feeding, sleeping, healing, and simply learning your new little person. Sometimes photos aren’t at the top of the list — and that is completely okay.
The beautiful thing about babies is that every stage brings something new to capture.
The Sweet Spot: Around 5–6 Months 🤍
Once babies have built up their neck strength, are enjoying tummy time, and are becoming more comfortable exploring the world around them, it can be such a beautiful time to capture them.
At this age, we start to see more of their little personality shine through.
The Benefits of Waiting
Big Beautiful Smiles
Those early smiles become full of personality, connection, and often lots of giggles.
A More Settled Baby
Many babies are a little more predictable at this stage, with parents often feeling more confident and settled into their routines too.
Their Personality Starts To Shine
Those little expressions, cheeky grins, curious looks and unique personality traits start appearing — and these are the moments you’ll want to remember.
All The Baby Chunk 🤍
The rolls.
The chubby cheeks.
The squishy little arms and legs.
That beautiful baby softness is something so many parents adore capturing.
There Is No “Right” Time
Newborn photos are beautiful, but they are not the only beautiful stage.
A sleepy newborn is special.
A smiling 5-month-old is special.
A curious 1-year-old is special.
Every stage tells a different story.
So if you missed the newborn bubble, please don’t worry.
Your baby is still waiting to be celebrated
