Parents are always curious as to when the best time is to bring their newborn baby in for their first photo shoot. In the past I was suggesting the first 3 weeks of life, however my opinion has now changed. In order to achieve the easiest and cutest shoot, I suggest parents bring their baby within the first 4 days of life. I, being a parent myself, understand that this isn't always as easy as it sounds, especially for those that are new to parenthood and a little nervous about bringing their baby out of the house for the first month. Here is why I suggest this. Within the first 4 days of life babies have a bending and flexibility that slowly is lost as they get bigger. At this time babies will sleep through most of the shoot (a photographers dream!) as well as won't be hesitant to kick out their legs or want to be picked up and cuddled. They are content being cuddled up into a basket or prop and love to be curled up into a tiny little ball - which offers the parents priceless photos.
The photos taken here were with a baby who was 4 days old and the shoot was quite successful!
