When to Book With Your Iowa Newborn Photographer

Have you ever wondered how newborn photographers get such beautiful sleepy baby images? Your Iowa newborn photographer knows just the right time to get you in the studio to make those happy. My rule of thumb is that babies should be between the ages of five and twenty one days old.

Why before three weeks? | Ali Kerr, Iowa Newborn Photographer Explains

Why do Iowa newborn photographer s  say your newborn should come in the studio between five days and twenty one days? We want to be able to deliver images like this one above.

Having babies that sleep a lot helps Iowa newborn photographer s achieve these images. We also want to ensure that your baby is safe in these positions. As your newborn gets older, they wake more easily. If you want certain poses they need to be in a deep sleep. During the first few days of your newborn’s life is the best time to get these images safely. Always make sure your Iowa newborn photographer has had proper safety training and can handle poses such as the one above. See our blog post on newborn safety for more information
