Welcoming a new baby is one of life’s most extraordinary moments, and capturing those precious early days is a gift you’ll treasure forever. At Kate Buckles Photography, we specialize in creating timeless newborn portraits that preserve your baby’s tiniest details and sweetest expressions. To ensure we can deliver the perfect experience, it’s essential to book your newborn session at the right time.

When Should You Book?

We recommend booking your newborn session during your second trimester. This ensures we can reserve a spot in our schedule and stay flexible around your due date. Since babies arrive on their own timeline, we only take a limited number of newborn sessions each month to accommodate everyone with care and attention.


Why Timing Matters

Newborn sessions are best scheduled within the first 5-14 days after birth. During this time, babies are still very sleepy and easily curled into those adorable poses we all love. After two weeks, babies become more alert and less likely to stay in those dreamy poses, so capturing those fleeting moments early is key.
