Almost 3 weeks... {Durham Region Newborn Photographer}

Do newborns have to be photographed under the age of 2 weeks? Well, it's certainly preferable, but that doesn't mean it's impossible to do it past the the 2 week mark. It just means we have to work a little harder :) When babies are under 10 days old they are nice and sleepy and much more tolerant of being folded and moved around from prop to prop. As they get older they become much more aware that something is going on and don't settle quite as easily. (not to mention that baby acne starts to set in!). As always, I recommend that you call me while you are still pregnant to book your session, but if you have missed the two week window please don't think you have lost your opportunity...

This 18 day old beauty came by for a session the other day (thank you so much mom and dad for making the long drive out to see me!) and yes, it was more difficult to get her to sleep and of course baby acne had start to set in but we still managed to get some fantastic shots! Of course one of the advantages of photographing an older newborn is the chance to get some great open eyes shots. And no matter the age it's always possible to capture a tender moment between mom and baby!
