As a professional portrait photographer, I have had the immense pleasure of capturing some of life’s most precious moments. That being said none are quite as special as the arrival of a newborn baby.
Did you know that September is one of the highest birth rate months of the year? I also celebrate my very own birthday in September! If you are currently in your third trimester and expecting your little bundle of joy in September, its time to think about booking your newborn portrait session.
Why Book a Newborn Portrait Session?
The newborn phase is fleeting, with babies changing and growing each day. Newborn photography allows you to capture those first few weeks of life. Preserving the tiny details – those little fingers and toes, the soft curl of their hair, the peaceful moments of sleep and the first attempts at wide eyed curiosity. You don’t really know how precious this time is until many moths later. I meet so many parents who tell me they wishes they had had newborn portraits done.
Booking Early – Secure Your September Slot
Given the high birth rate in September, I experience a surge in demand for newborn sessions. To ensure you secure a slot, it is essential to book early, ideally before your baby arrives.It is one less thing to worry about in those busy first few weeks of parenthood.
