Planning Your Newborn Session: When Should You Book?

Planning your Newborn Sessions

Bringing a new life into the world is a momentous occasion, and as a motherhood photographer, I understand the significance of capturing those early moments with your little one.
When it comes to booking your newborn session, timing is crucial.
Let’s dive into the question of how early you should begin Planning your Newborn Session session.

The Sweet Spot: PLanning your Newborn Session in the Second Trimester

The best time to reach out and secure your newborn session is during your second trimester of pregnancy.
This period, typically between weeks 13 to 27, offers several advantages. Firstly, it allows you to plan and coordinate with Julie Sheriff Photography in advance.
Newborn photographers tend to have busy schedules, and booking early ensures that you can reserve a spot around your expected due date.

Flexibility is Key

Booking during the second trimester also provides flexibility.
While you may not have an exact date for your baby’s arrival, you can work with us to establish a tentative timeframe.
This flexibility allows you to be well-prepared without the stress of last-minute arrangements.

Ensuring Availability

When Planning your Newborn Session,  it’s important to keep in mind newborn photographers often limit the number of sessions they take on each month to provide a high level of personalized attention to each client.
By booking early, you increase the chances of securing a spot with us, ensuring you can capture those tender moments with your newborn.

Tailored Planning Your Newborn Session

Booking ahead of time also enables you to discuss your preferences and ideas for the session.
This collaborative process ensures that your vision for the session aligns with the expertise of Julie Sheriff Photography.

A Smooth Experience Planning Your Newborn Session

In the whirlwind of adjusting to life with a newborn, you’ll appreciate having one less thing to worry about.
Planning your newborn session and booking early, you can relax knowing that your photography session is organized and scheduled according to your needs.
This peace of mind allows you to fully focus on cherishing your newborn and the bonding experience.

 

In the world of newborn photography, Planning your Newborn Session early is the key to a successful and stress-free experience.
During your second trimester, reaching out to Julie Sheriff Photography will not only secure your spot but also grant you the freedom to personalize your session.
This way, you can ensure that the resulting images capture the essence of your family’s connection with your precious new addition.

So, remember, booking your newborn session early is a gift to yourself, your family, and your newborn.
It’s a decision that will allow you to preserve these fleeting moments in the most beautiful and authentic way possible.
Don’t hesitate to reach out to Julie Sheriff Photography during your second trimester to embark on this incredible journey of creating lasting memories with your newborn.

I’ve photographed all three of her babies—maternity, newborn, and now her baby’s 1st birthday.

She won’t be able to attend our Celebrating Motherhood event this year, so during her session this week, I gave her a little piece of it—a quiet, private version, just for her. Before the cake came out and we celebrated one year around the sun, we took a moment to celebrate her.

And I’m so excited to see what next week brings as more mommas come through for this year’s event.

This event is my way of saying thank you to the mothers I’ve had the honor of photographing in the past year. Some years, the schedule is packed. Other years, it’s just a handful of moms who can make it.

And honestly? There’s something really special about those quieter years.
When it’s small, we slow down. We breathe a little deeper.
There’s space to truly soak it all in.

It becomes less about the hustle and more about the heart.
And those are some of my favorite moments of all.

TEN years ago, I held my very first "Celebrating Motherhood Event"—just a quick complimentary session as a thank you to my past year mamas who trusted me with their memories.

And here we are, a full decade later… still celebrating, still giving mamas a moment to be in the photos with the little ones they love so dearly.

This year’s garden-inspired setup is soft, simple, and full of feeling.

The Best Part!
This event is free for all my VIP (past-year) clients—a little gift from me to you.

If you’re not a VIP client you’re still warmly invited to join us for a small fee.

📅 May 9th
⏰ 10–11:30 AM

The Only Thing That Increases in Value Over Time

Most things lose value as they age—cars, clothes, furniture.

But printed photos? They gain value.

That photo of your baby’s first smile? Worth a little now.

In ten years? Priceless.

In twenty? Irreplaceable.

In fifty? The most treasured thing you own.
