FAQs — Newborn

When should I book my newborn session?
Newborn sessions should be reserved during your second trimester to ensure availability. As a Rochester Hills newborn photographer serving Metro Detroit and Oakland County, I schedule sessions around your baby’s arrival date.

What is the best age for newborn photos?
Newborns are typically photographed within the first 5–14 days, when they are sleepiest and naturally curl into those classic newborn poses.

How long does a newborn session last?
Sessions typically last 1.5–2.5 hours to allow time for feeding, soothing, and keeping your baby comfortable. My approach is always gentle, baby-led, and unhurried.

Do you offer in-home newborn sessions?
Yes. In-home lifestyle newborn photography is available throughout Rochester Hills, Metro Detroit, and Oakland County for families who prefer a relaxed, documentary-style session.
