Scheduling a maternity photo session between 32-34 weeks is often considered ideal. During this time, the baby bump is noticeable and beautifully rounded, but you're not too far along where you're uncomfortable or feeling overly tired. It also gives you enough time to relax and enjoy the photos without the stress of nearing your due date.

Newborn sessions are definitely best when babies are under 3 weeks old, as they tend to sleep more soundly and can be posed easily in those first few weeks. Booking while you're still expecting is a smart move, especially since newborn photographers are often in high demand. Planning for a session 10 days after the due date allows some flexibility and gives you a chance to contact the studio once the baby arrives to confirm or reschedule.

Milestone sessions for babies between 3-6 months are a wonderful way to capture those early moments before they can sit up unassisted. At this stage, babies are usually full of expressions, smiles, and a lot of personality, but they still need support for sitting, so the photos can have that adorable "still a little baby" vibe. Plus, their tiny hands, feet, and facial features are so precious to capture!

Simply Sitter sessions are perfect for babies who can sit up unassisted, usually around 6-9 months. At this stage, babies are often full of smiles, starting to show more personality, and it's such a fun time to capture them in action. They’re sturdy enough to sit up, but still have that adorable baby look—it's the perfect time to get those precious, natural photos.

Cake smash sessions are typically done when babies are around 10-11 months old, just before their first birthday. This timing ensures you have plenty of time to prepare and get the images ready for their birthday party. It's a great way to celebrate and create lasting memories of their big milestone!
