I get a lot of people asking when they should book their newborn photo session, and my answer is always the same: before baby arrives and the sooner the better! The ideal time to confirm your booking is towards the end of the second trimester, when you have had most of your scans and you have a reasonably accurate due date. “But what if my baby arrives early or late?” Don’t worry, it happens all the time!

Together forever!  To View More >>
