The Perfect Age For a Newborn Session

A question I’m often asked by many pregnant moms and new photographers is, “what is the perfect age for a newborn session?”

This question has a very complex answer. The fact of the matter is, it all really depends. Because of this, I work hard to schedule only a set amount of sessions a month so that I can be as flexible as I can for any situation that may arise.
